Through years of training in Ayurveda, psychotherapy, and psychedelic-assisted care, I have come to believe that true transformation happens at the meeting point of science, tradition, and human connection.

When held with intention, safety, and respect, psychedelic medicine can open powerful doorways. But it is preparation, skilled facilitation, and integration that allow insight to become embodied transformation.

Sangam, meaning a sacred confluence, represents this meeting of paths. It is a space where ancient wisdom and modern clinical care come together, where transformation is approached with humility, reverence, and responsibility.

What You'll Experience

Trainees move through the complete arc of facilitation: screening, preparation, Natural Medicine administration, integration, and case consultation. The curriculum weaves traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with contemporary clinical practice, so trainees develop not just technique, but presence.

Beyond the fundamentals, trainees gain hands-on grounding in parts work and somatic regulation, learning to help clients navigate altered states, complex emotional terrain, and nervous system activation. Integration is treated as an active, multidimensional practice, drawing on breathwork, yoga nidra, sound healing, and expressive arts to help trainees carry insight into lasting change, for themselves and for the clients they'll one day guide.

Program Highlights

  • 10 hours of structured remote preparation
  • Two supervised Natural Medicine administration learning sessions
  • Two integration days incorporating yoga, breathwork, somatic practices, journaling, and group processing
  • Parts work and somatic regulation for navigating altered states and emotional terrain
  • Ethics, non-directive facilitation, safety monitoring, and cultural humility
  • Ayurvedic-informed preparation and integration
  • Faculty mentorship, case consultation, and competency assessment
