Atira Tan - Somatic Trauma Specialist, Therapist and TedX speaker & Guest Teachers, with certification as Trauma Informed Plant Medicine Facilitator
85 hours required training
Our unique and specialized 85-hour trauma-informed plant medicine facilitator program equips facilitators to skilfully respond to trauma imprints with attunement, presence, repair and care, thus ensuring a safe and trauma-sensitive ceremonial space.
Plant medicines have an enormous power to heal the body, psyche and spirit, release psychological defenses and can often reactivate past unresolved trauma. At times, the latter happens in a way that is too fast and intense and repercussions could be re-traumatising and psychologically harmful. Many trauma survivors may lack the resilience, tips and tools for navigating such an experience and it is our sacred responsibility as facilitators to care for such survivors in a way that prioritizes their safety and creates repair.
As facilitators, we uphold an ethical duty to prioritize our participants’ health and well-being throughout the entire ceremonial experience, including the screening, preparation and integration process. It is fundamental to understand the essential concepts of trauma recovery and to learn the best practices for responding effectively to signs of trauma imprints.

Trauma-informed psilocybin facilitation refers to the use of the psychedelic compound psilocybin with safety and trauma sensitivity, with a particular focus on understanding and addressing trauma imprints that may arise. Psilocybin is the active compound found in certain species of mushrooms.
When facilitating psilocybin experiences for individuals who have experienced trauma, it is essential to approach the process with a trauma-informed lens. This means that facilitators should have a deep understanding of trauma, its impact on individuals, and how to create a safe and supportive environment for healing.

Lorri Many Rivers Johnson Santamaria with a certification as a Usui Holy Fire Reiki Ryoho Second Degree
24 hours of required training
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

I knew at a very young age that I wanted to help people, I just didn’t know exactly what that looked like or how to help. At the age of 20 I embarked on a 25 year healing journey where I began learning how to lovingly hold and integrate the substantial amount of traumas I had experienced in my life. The knowledge that I attained on my journey back to health and wholeness led to a deep knowing that my purpose is to share these gifts with those who are feeling called to dive deeper into themselves.
