If you’re new or simply curious, start with Gather Seeds: it’s free and open to everyone. If you want ongoing community, live conversations, and curated learning, join Gather More. If you feel called to become a psychedelic guide and are ready for a committed, multi-year path, the GatherWell Psychedelic Guide Program is for you. There are no degree or license requirements to apply, and you don’t have to know your destination to begin.

The GatherWell Psychedelic Guide Program spans 2.5 to 3 years across three phases: Groundwork Theory, Groundwork Practice, and the Apprenticeship. Gather More is an ongoing membership you can join at any time, and Gather Seeds is self-paced and always available. We designed the pathway to be slower, comprehensive, and personally transformative.

GatherWell offers psychedelic education with the depth of a graduate program and the mentorship of an apprenticeship. You are never learning alone: training is experiential, group-based, and supervised, with mentorship that follows your development and an active Ethics Infrastructure that supports you during the program and beyond. We train guides who strengthen communities, not just serve individuals, and we take the cultural and Indigenous roots of this work seriously. It’s the long way, on purpose.

GatherWell trains psychedelic guides. We prefer the terms psychedelic healing modalities and psychedelic care over psychedelic-assisted therapy, because our approach includes practices that don’t ascribe to a purely psychotherapeutic framework. Our curriculum synthesizes trauma-informed counseling frameworks with ceremonial practice.
