Explore the Program

This Online Program May Be a Good Fit If You Are:

  • Considering or preparing for psychedelic-assisted therapy (where legally available and clinically appropriate)>
  • Interested in approaching the process with intention, self-awareness, and psychological responsibility
  • Curious about how long-standing emotional patterns, schemas, and coping strategies may shape your experience
  • Looking for education and preparation, not treatment or guarantees

This Online Program Is Likely Not a Fit If You Are:

  • Seeking instant transformation or guaranteed outcomes

  • Looking for a substitute for therapy, medical care, or clinical screening through an online course
  • Wanting a prescriptive or “one-size-fits-all” approach

Many People Focus on the Experience — Not the Preparation

Interest in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy (PaT) has grown quickly.

What’s discussed less often is how people prepare psychologically before engaging in non-ordinary states.

Without thoughtful preparation, people may:

  • Enter experiences with unclear intentions or unrealistic expectations
  • Be surprised by emotional reactions or protective responses
  • Struggle to contextualize or integrate what arises afterward

This program exists to address that gap — calmly, ethically, and responsibly

What This Online Program Is Designed to Support 

Rather than promising specific outcomes, this program is intentionally designed to help you understand how schemas shape daily life — and how those same patterns can carry forward into deeper, non-ordinary experiences.

Many people find that long-standing emotional patterns and the unmet needs that drive them influence how they relate to themselves, others, and the process of change itself. When left unexamined, these patterns can contribute to feeling stuck, reactive, or unclear about what one is actually seeking.

This program supports you in:

  • Developing a clearer understanding of core emotional needs, recurring schema patterns, and protective strategies that can influence thoughts, emotions, and behaviour in everyday life
  • Exploring how these same patterns and “modes” may become more visible under stress or during altered states, shaping how experiences are interpreted and remembered
  • Clarifying intentions in a way that supports thoughtful preparation, while learning to hold expectations lightly rather than trying to control outcomes
  • Thinking ahead about integration, meaning-making, and support, so insights are more likely to be reflected on and woven into daily life over time
  • All content is delivered as psychoeducation and guided self-reflection, not psychotherapy or treatment.

When You Enroll, You Receive:

  • Full access to all course modules
  • Pre-recorded video lessons (self-paced)
  • Structured reflective exercises and prompts
  • Ongoing access for review and integration
  • Clear boundaries between education and treatment

  • You decide how and when the material fits into your broader care or preparation process
  • Many learners return to the material at different stages of preparation and integration.
