Why This Training Stands Apart
Psychedelic therapy is rapidly gaining recognition, with the world awakening to the profound healing potential of plant medicine. As legalization and acceptance expand, so too does the number of courses offering training in this field. However, true mastery of cannabis-assisted therapy requires far more than theoretical knowledge and a quick online course—it demands deep personal experience, integration, and guidance from those who have truly walked this path.
This training is led by Bruce Taylor, who has sat in over 1,000 ceremonies, accumulating more than 5,000 hours of hands-on experience facilitating Marijuana-based psychedelic therapy. His work with the plant has been deeply humbling and transformative, both for himself and for his clients. He would be the first to admit that the journey is not always an easy one – however it is always a loving one. If you allow the plant to guide you, your transformation and healing will certainly take place.
Alongside him is Aude Garderet, a clinical psychotherapist whose expertise bridges the psychological and the mystical. Aude’s work and personal practice weaves together her lifelong ability to “see to what lies beyond the veil”. Aude brings a deeply integrated therapeutic approach, ensuring that students receive a comprehensive, professional, and personal education. Together, they offer over 25 years of combined experience, guiding individuals through both the scientific and spiritual dimensions of this work.
For those drawn to this field, it is critical to learn from those who have lived it, not just studied it. Cannabis-assisted therapy is about holding space for others as they embark on their own deep healing journeys, and this requires a strong foundation in your own experience first. This six-month program is designed to provide exactly that—a rigorous, transformative training grounded in personal immersion, psychotherapeutic principles, and decades of real-world application. If you are ready to cultivate a true understanding of this work and gain the confidence to guide others with integrity, this is the training for you.
