Join a group of professionals dedicated to optimizing the safety and benefits of psychedelic use through screening, psychoeducation, and counseling
The Psychedelic Screener Mastermind Program is designed for persons that want to develop and hone their skills in screening for contraindications and other red flags, planning harm mitigation strategies and preparation plans, and gain the confidence and competence to begin supporting others or organizations in the psychedelic renaissance.
Program Inspiration and Background
Over the past few years, I’ve been receiving more and more emails from professionals that are interested in expanding their careers to incorporate psychedelics or generally wanting and wondering how they can improve the safety and benefits of psychedelic use while helping to usher in a new paradigm of healing, therapeutics, and psychospiritual well-being. I tell them there are many roles persons can play – policy change advocate, scientist or investigator, integration therapist, retreat center facilitator, legal expert, harm reductionist, medical director for spiritual center or church…the list goes on. There’s surely a role for many persons and professionals to pivot towards or grow into no matter what your background.
As a clinical psychiatric pharmacist, many of my best skillsets include evaluating clinical information, psychiatric illness, psychotropic medications and drug interactions, as well as performing clinical assessments. Naturally, I’ve been gravitated to help by evaluating risks and benefits of psychedelic use, screening for potential for drug interactions, formulating harm reduction strategies, and providing psychoeducation relating to psychedelics. Now it really feels like the right time to create a program that brings others into this line of work. It is going to be vital to supporting the array of groups and persons interested in facilitating safe experiences.
I’m incredibly excited to announce that the Psychedelic Screener Mastermind Program is here!
My first longitudinal teaching and mentorship offering since leaving the university and starting work at Spirit Pharmacist. The Mastermind Program is designed to take your knowledge of psychedelics and their clinical use to the next level. It aims to help prepare you to work in harm reduction efforts by screening applications for psychedelic use for red flags, contraindications, drug interactions, and potential risks of psychedelic use. Through immersion in a small cohort of like-minded professionals and with practice over time, you will gain confidence, competence, and skill sets needed to effectively screen applications for use of various psychedelics.

The program features pre-recorded course content, small mastermind discussions, and large group webinar workshops.
Learners are granted lifetime access to the 3 edition pre-recorded course series referred to as the Psychedelic Pharmacology Master Series:
