Hands-on psychedelic facilitation training at the intersection of modern science and shamanic tradition.
WELCOME TO
PACIFIC ENTHEO INSTITUTE
We are cross-disciplinary experts from all corners of the healing world, dedicated to educating and training individuals who are passionate about the benefits of psychedelic healing - - - with a focus on safety, consistency and efficacy.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe the experience of preparing and facilitating treatments is the most critical step in becoming a confident and competent facilitator of sacred, potent, transformative psychedelic medicines. Our program is the only program with a curriculum that offers student facilitation in the full spectrum of earth and lab medicines.
"The best way to learn is to do; the worst way to teach is to talk.”
- Paul Richard Halmos
DRIVEN BY AWE AND WONDER.
While we honor advances in psychopharmacology and neuroscience, we are more interested in what these sciences cannot measure or define. There is an eternal flame of energy and knowing in each of us. We seek to reconnect our students with this pure, bright light of wisdom - so they can guide their future clients to this as well.
WE ARE ALL HEALERS.
While advanced degrees are the standard prerequisite to be a respected "healer" - we believe this is irresponsible and discriminatory. Great healers existed eons before research journals or labs appeared. There are infinite paths to arriving at the desire to heal one's self and others. We choose to honor every path that brings individuals to a desire to heal themselves and others. We earnestly encourage everyone to apply.
RELAX IN NATURE.
Day trainings are held in beautiful Ojai. Facilitation training weekends are hosted at our oceanfront villa in North Baja - just 90 miles south of LA. We travel together by van to prevent travel stress and to build community.

Current Training Programs
After 8 years floundering from one ineffective center and treatment modality to another … I was finally put in touch with Becca: a true healer. Learning alongside Becca and her team has encouraged me to step fully into my inner wisdom. I went from lost and rudderless, to the owner healing center in Costa Rica. Working with Becca is the best choice I’ve ever made.”
