Greetings Dear Friends!  I hope this message finds you in great spirits as you tend your inner fire by the fireside this Winter.  In 2024, I’m thrilled to be launching into several new exciting endeavors, one of which I recently spoke on which is the completion of Communitas Retreat Sanctuary temple space! Yet another wonderful opportunity I’m excited to share is my joining the Third Wave’s Psychedelic Coaching Institute as a core facilitator for their upcoming Psychedelic Coaching Facilitator training Program! 

Back in early 2020, I just left my life the artistic director and event curator after 10 years of designing and building intentional festivals.  It was a difficult time on my life path, as creating experiences that inspire wonder, healing and positive transformation was my greatest joy and passion up until that point. In a deeply reflective and humble state, I entered into a psychedelic ceremonial journey. During the medicine experience, a deep & profound love for the sacred fungi emerged guiding me to a moment profound clarity. It was the medicine way back in 2008 that inspired my path of producing events. It was also the medicine that inspired my devotion of service to others in which events was only a filter I was blessed to have for as long as I did. A feeling arose from the core of all that I am, its time I embrace the call to devote my life in service to the medicine that had brought me all of these profound gifts that I hold dear. 

Only hours after that experience, I jumped online and as synchronicity would have it one of the first messages I saw was from Paul Austin, Founder of the Third Wave promoting at the time the first Psychedelic Coaching Certification in the country.  After a brief conversation with my wife, who felt and encouraged my fire of purpose, I was registered with the course.  And it was that decision that laid the foundation to a flourishing path of facilitation and coaching in the psychedelic field as the founder of the SpArc.  

The Psychedelic Coaching Institute certification program is a robust six month commitment within which aspiring coaches, facilitators and innovative entrepreneurs learn the full spectrum of the psychedelic ecosystem and how to launch a successful end to end career in the field. Although healing is a core aspect of the psychedelic journey, this career is not designed for healthcare professionals and is instead focused on those who wish to support the evolutionary potential of the inspired well through self-actualization, high performance optimization, spiritual initiation, creative genius & vitality, anchoring of life purpose & impact.  In other words, this isn’t about supporting people in getting to base line wellness, this is about helping forge a courageous evolutionary lifestyle. Follow the Link below to explore the full curriculum and learn about the incredible content shared in the program.  And the benefits don’t stop with the incredible curriculum of learning, the power of building community with 40 aspiring industry professionals, a series of world class lecturers and hundreds of alumni is an invaluable asset to launching into the industry.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or wish to learn more from my own experience in the program! One thing is for certain, far more people are adventuring into the psychedelic landscape than those who can adeptly support them. There is PLENTY of room for a thriving career in this field for those who can honor the path of ethical, intentional and compassionate stewardship it requires.  Now onto a whole slew of awesome updates and inspiring news from the psychedelic landscape.  And as always, thank you for joining me on this journey!
