Psychedelic Integration Training
Launching 2025!
We are excited to be launching a training program for professionals looking to develop and deepen their skill in psychedelic integration.
Psychedelic-assisted therapy invites us to explore the full spectrum of human experience. It challenges practitioners to step beyond conventional methods, embracing a collaborative role with the medicine while honoring each client’s unique process. This approach involves attuning to dreaming signals, recognizing emerging or marginalized aspects of the self, and integrating systems awareness to enhance the therapeutic potential of psychedelic experiences. These practices not only support the client’s healing journey but also cultivate inner-directedness—an essential skill that extends far beyond their psychedelic-assisted therapy journey.
In this course, we’ll delve into the rich phenomenological experiences that arise during psychedelic journeys and explore how therapists can discern what to prioritize. Conventional psychological approaches can fail to fully engage these profound experiences, risking missed opportunities. This course provides practitioners with innovative methods to work with these phenomena, helping clients uncover their deeper meaning and translate this into lasting therapeutic change. We draw from various ways of working including, process-oriented psychology, awareness practices, somatic and emotional connection work. We respectfully acknowledge the many indigenous traditions around the world and their rich approach to working with psychedelic medicines.
Participants will map the stages of integration, understanding the distinct therapeutic approaches relevant to each phase. We will focus on building the skills required to follow and facilitate a client’s unfolding process with sensitivity and presence.
Through hands-on learning, practitioners will gain practical tools to explore and deepen phenomenological experiences across diverse channels—visual, somatic, movement, auditory, relational, environmental, and transpersonal. The course also emphasizes integrating these experiences across the dimensions of everyday reality and unconscious levels, empowering therapists to support clients holistically and effectively.
Learning Objectives:
Understand the stages of integration and how best to work with them
Develop techniques to explore and deepen clients’ phenomenological experiences from psychedelic journeys through practical and interactive methods.
Learn how to follow and facilitate a client’s process through exploring rather than explaining
Broaden awareness of diverse experiential channels and their role in meaning-making.

Course Activities:
This course will be highly experiential and include a range of activities including:

Channel Exploration: Guided exercises to develop skill in working with visual, somatic, auditory, movement, relational, and transpersonal channels, deepening understanding of their therapeutic potential and integration for the client.

PAT Therapist Supervision
Sarah offers supervision for therapists working in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy in trials or authorised clinical settings, as well as for those who are supporting clients to integrate experiences through one-to-one therapy.
Psychedelic-assisted therapy takes us to all aspects of being human. As practitioners it calls us to to co-facilitate with the medicine and to honour our client’s process. Understanding dreaming signals, unfolding emerging or marginalised aspects of self and facilitating with systems awareness can support people to get the most out of their experience. These skills also support an inner directedness within our clients, a skill that they can take far beyond their PAT experience. This way of working is in contrast with the modern Western mental health system approach. It requires a fundamental shift within each of us. This approach, alongside general PAT skills is the focus of Sarah’s supervision.
Sarah is part of the Clinical Psychedelic Lab at Monash University and was a core therapist and trainer on the world first Psilocybin for Generalised Anxiety trial. She is currently a clinical supervisor and therapist for the lab’s MDMA for PTSD trial. Sarah is the founder and lead facilitator of Being Found Integration.
Sarah has supported the Monash and Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) trainings in Australia and is a trainer for Wild Mind. She was previously on the faculty at The Metavision Institute and The Global Coaching Institute.
