At Ceremonia, our non-profit psychedelic church near Denver, Colorado, we recognize the profound impact of psychedelic healing, and we place paramount importance on selecting the right facilitators to guide participants through transformative experiences.

The Essence of a Skilled Plant Medicine Facilitator

Unlike therapists or coaches, a skilled plant medicine facilitator operates on the principle of "being with what is," trusting an individual's inner healing intelligence. This approach empowers participants to navigate their unique healing journeys without imposing frameworks or directives.

Transference and the Power of Facilitators

Within psychedelic containers, "transference" plays a vital role—the energetic transfer of feelings and positions within the group, particularly from facilitators to participants. To preserve the focus on individual healing, facilitators minimize their ego presence.

The Three Pillars of an Exceptional Facilitator

An exceptional plant medicine facilitator embodies three fundamental elements:

1. Non-Avoidance and Honoring What Is Present: By maintaining non-positionality and non-preference, facilitators enable participants to explore their true emotions freely.

2. Empowering Innate Sovereignty: A skilled facilitator respects each individual's innate sovereignty, empowering them to guide themselves on their healing path without imposing beliefs or positionalities.

3. The Art of Compassionate Embodiment: Proficient facilitators embody unconditional compassion and love, creating a nurturing environment for healing and personal growth.

The Impact of a Facilitator on Your Journey

Choosing the right facilitator significantly impacts the success of your psychedelic healing journey. A skilled facilitator can lead you through profound healing, while an inexperienced one may hinder progress. Your mental and spiritual well-being is deeply influenced by this choice.

Our ceremonies blend the wisdom of plant medicine shamans with insights from renowned psychologists, integrating trauma-informed practices supported by well-researched evidence. We prioritize the safety and well-being of our participants by having medical staff evaluate medications beforehand and remain on call in case of medical issues.

Psychotherapy and Spirituality Integration

At Ceremonia, we integrate psychotherapy with spirituality, emphasizing the importance of personal beliefs and experiences. We do not impose any specific beliefs or positionalities on our participants, allowing them to explore their inner selves freely.

Conclusion

Selecting the right facilitator is crucial for a successful psychedelic healing journey. At Ceremonia, we prioritize the embodiment of non-avoidance, innate sovereignty, and compassionate understanding in our expert facilitators.
