Why This Work Needs Holding
Facilitating psychedelic experiences, whether through preparation, ceremony, or integration, is powerful, complex, and sacred work. It asks a great deal from us: attunement, presence, discernment, and the ability to navigate the unknown. Yet even the most experienced guides cannot hold it all alone.
At Anima Healing Institute, we offer practitioner consultation as a space of ongoing support. These sessions are designed to nurture your growth, deepen your ethical practice, and provide a field of reflection for the multidimensional realities of guiding others through transformation. Whether you’re newly stepping into this work or are a seasoned practitioner, this is where your process gets to be witnessed, held, and refined.
Group
Consultation
We host intimate, closed consultation groups for 5 to 6 psychedelic facilitators who are actively in practice or in training. These are not drop-in spaces, but committed containers where trust and continuity can unfold over time. We meet regularly, typically once per week or once per month for two hours per session.
During each gathering, we begin with a grounding and then revisit insights or themes from the previous session before diving into case presentations and discussion. Participants are invited to bring forward real-life facilitation moments: challenges, breakthroughs, questions, or ethical dilemmas. These conversations are spacious, respectful, and held with deep care. The latter part of each session includes a short teaching, supervision theme, or skill-based reflection offered by the team. We close with group reflections and integration to support the continuity of your work.
While we suggest weekly sessions to foster depth and momentum, the frequency and rhythm of the group can be co-negotiated based on availability and group needs. Participants commit to a six-session package, to be used over a span of three to six months. At the end of this cycle, we check in together, groups may dissolve, continue, or open to new members based on interest.
Individual
Consultation & Mentorships
While individual consultations are available for case-based support or ethical reflection, many practitioners find that what they’re truly seeking is something deeper, a space not just to troubleshoot, but to grow, integrate, and evolve in their role as a guide.
For this reason, I offer one-on-one mentorship: an ongoing, relational container designed to support your development as a psychedelic practitioner, both professionally and personally.
Mentorship is where we slow down, track your own process, deepen your capacity, and explore the intersection between your practice and your inner life. If you're seeking long-term support, shadow work, or guidance in finding your voice as a facilitator, this may be the more aligned path.

What You'll Experience
These sessions are designed to support you in becoming a more conscious, responsive, and integrated facilitator. Topics may include: ethical decision-making and boundary navigation; preparation and integration best practices; trauma-informed presence and nervous system awareness; countertransference and emotional regulation; power, projection, and spiritual responsibility; and reflective practitioner tools such as Kylea Taylor’s Inner Ethics framework.
You’ll also receive constructive feedback on real client situations, and gain insight from the group’s shared experience. Just as importantly, you’ll have a space to be human, to bring your own process forward and be witnessed in the ever-unfolding work of becoming.
Participation Requirements
This offering is open to psychedelic facilitators, integration practitioners, and those in formal or informal training. While you do not need to be licensed to participate, you should be actively engaged in some aspect of psychedelic support work.
Participants must commit to confidentiality within the group and be willing to give and receive feedback with care. A minimum commitment of six sessions is required for group participation. A basic working understanding of trauma-informed care and inner ethical inquiry is recommended, as is some familiarity with frameworks like Inner Ethics by Kylea Taylor (resources can be provided).
