The Synthesis Institute

The Synthesis Institute is a US-headquartered education and training provider offering online programmes to an international community of aspiring and established psychedelic practitioners.

Its educational programmes are designed to develop the knowledge, ethical foundations, relational skills and self-awareness required to navigate the emerging field of psychedelic care responsibly. Its approach brings together contemporary research with cognitive, embodied, relational and sacred perspectives.

The Synthesis Institute’s flagship Psychedelic Practitioner Core Training is a 13-month professional certificate programme covering foundational competencies for safe, ethical and trauma-aware psychedelic practice. The organisation also offers experiential learning, practicum opportunities, a Colorado facilitator licensing pathway and postgraduate pathways through its academic partnership with Ubiquity University.

Please note that completing a Synthesis certificate does not, on its own, authorise an individual to facilitate psychedelic experiences. Legal and professional requirements vary by location.
