Training Philosophy
Our training program exemplifies the contemplative traditions of Naropa University combined with the clinical expertise of internationally recognized trauma researchers and trainers. Memoru Center for Visionary Healing Arts is grounded in a social justice framework, an approach that centers the experience of those most impacted by structural oppression. This model seeks to demystify healing by empowering community members to engage in harm reduction and community care.
Our training philosophy centers Indigenous lineage carriers and demonstrates the importance of reciprocity with traditional stewards of ceremonial and entheogenic technologies. Our training is rooted in respect for the sovereignty of the client, facilitator, lineage, and the medicines, themselves.
Memoru Center for Visionary Healing Arts anchors our trainings in these ideologies in recognition that the state regulatory model of psilocybin facilitation aims to increase access to natural medicine healing modalities, from which traditional communities have been disenfranchised through colonial suppression and the War on Drugs. We recognize that limitations to access and injustice persist within existing frameworks, and we strive to dismantle barriers to access, particularly for underserved communities.
Colorado’s regulatory model offers a tiered approach to training and licensure, with a tier for DORA licensed clinical providers to practice under the scope of their training in the provision of psilocybin services. A second tier confers licensing for eligible adults who have completed state-approved psilocybin facilitator training.
Where Can Psilocybin Facilitators Practice?
Psilocybin facilitation under the state regulatory adult use model is an emergent and evolving field. Memoru Center for Visionary Healing Arts’ certificate program is designed to prepare facilitators for licensure in Colorado and we remain open to complying with additional state models in the future. Because regulations vary state by state, additional training may be required for credentialing depending on the legal context of the facilitator’s intended practice location. The future trajectory and guidelines for psilocybin facilitation vary by region, regulatory agency, and protocol, and are subject to changes in federal, state, and local guidelines.
