JOIN US ON THE LEADING EDGE OF HUMAN POTENTIAL

Transformational
Coaching at the
Forefront of a
Cultural Phenomenon

Psychedelic medicines are more accessible than ever before. Legalization movements are rapidly gaining traction. Cultural acceptance is steadily growing. The interest is there. The healing potential is exponential.

We know this because Third Wave and the Psychedelic Coaching Institute are at the forefront of the movement. Each month, tens-of-thousands visitors to our site, each wanting to learn more about the benefits of psychedelics and how they can be applied in their lives.

As more and more people awaken to the transformational potential of psychedelic medicines, trusted guidance is more important than ever. People from all walks of life, and with a wide range of goals, need help to navigate this space and realize their potential.

The challenge?

There are just not enough trained practitioners to help them all.

Get Professionally Involved In The Psychedelic Space

We offer in-depth, high-integrity, well-balanced education on integrating psychedelic modalities into coaching and personal development frameworks.

It’s an opportunity to learn from some of the most incredible teachers, coaches, and practitioners in the world…

…and get involved in the third wave of psychedelics.

Go Beyond Another “Online Course” …
… and Become a Top 1% Practitioner

While the rapidly growing psychedelic sector is bursting with opportunities for coaches and practitioners, another generic practitioner training is unnecessary.

This space needs stellar practitioners who embody the transformational potential of this work…

…and consistently blow clients away.

Your success in this emerging opportunity starts with YOUR transformation.

It’s also why we have an astonishing 9.1 Net Promoter Score.

This is a standard measure of client experience and product quality.

A 9.1 rating puts this program in the top 1%, not just in psychedelic training…

…but the top 1% of ALL programs.

Our Certified Professionals are industry-leading experts in the skill of psychedelics

This Certification is both for established practitioners who want to add psychedelic work to their existing frameworks and new practitioners who want to begin a career in the psychedelic space.

It’s ideal for practitioners committed to helping clients achieve a broad range of non-clinical outcomes — from those working at the forefront of human potential, peak performance, executive training, and leadership development to those focused on health and wellness, life coaching, spiritual coaching, and beyond.

We cover microdosing and macrodosing protocols, and their unique synergies in coaching methodologies.

Please note: this is not a clinical program. It is not suited for individuals who want to work with PTSD, clinical depression, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, or other clinical conditions.

Master the Skill of Psychedelics

Psychedelic substances are less like typical Western medicine and more like a holistic development tool. Like any tool, they can be used masterfully or recklessly.

This certification program is designed to help you master the skill of psychedelics at the highest level so you can make a transformational impact in your client’s lives as well as your own.

WHAT GRADUATES HAVE SAID

“PCI gave me enough depth and freedom to explore the world of integration coaching in a way that resonated with me. With a wide variety of approaches and knowledge from guest lecturers, it felt less of a ‘step-by-step’ approach and more of a guided intuitive program with enough guidance and guardrails to help me forge my own path. Integration sessions were my favorite, leaving me with peer connections and support that will last a lifetime.”

Alexa J.

“The training I received from PCI is unlike any other. This was the best investment in my continuing education that I have made so far. I value the guest lectures, our POD breakout sessions, the intensive experience and the incredible bonds we have formed within our group. I would highly recommend this training to anyone interested in the Psychedelics space, especially for coaches who want to deepen their knowledge base and make the most of the catalysts of plant and synthetic medicines.”

Jennifer C.

“We’re at such an important moment in the renaissance of psychedelics. More than ever it’s critical to have well-trained and ethical practitioners entering into the field. Third Wave helps emerging practitioners get the skills, connections, and ethical foundation needed to help usher in a new era of responsible psychedelic use. Done well, I truly believe this has the potential to usher in a new era of happiness and harmony for humanity.”

Chris V.

“This experience changed the trajectory of my life. I made life-long friendships, found community and support both personally and professionally, received a first-class education in the field of psychedelics and found ways to face some of the most challenging and beautiful aspects of being alive. I can’t recommend this training enough. Go for it!”

Dylan K.

“This program was so much more than I expected. I learned a lot and feel very well equipped to bring psychedelics into my work with clients. What surprised me was my own journey along the way. This was a magical and hugely transformative period for my life.”

Dave S.

“The experiential learning, co-creation and relationship building, and the mastery and generosity of the instructors in this program are both awe inspiring and consciousness shifting.”

Jodi B.

“The wealth of knowledge and experience the program facilitators and lecturers contribute to this curriculum cannot be understated. That, coupled with the sense of community, accountability, and kinship formed with the other students make this a truly unique, transformative, and life affirming experience for anyone interested in or involved with the psychedelic support community.”

CERTIFICATION PROGRAM STRUCTURE

THE THREE CONTAINERS

Theory, Intensive,
and Practicum

The program is organized into 3 containers. Each one holds a different role in your training and growth.

  • 12 weeks of classes covering the theoretical side
  • 8-day intensive in Costa Rica to facilitate greater embodiment, including 2 psilocybin ceremonies
  • 50-hour practicum to ground theory into practice

Bi-Weekly, 2-Hour Teaching Sessions with Paul F. Austin, Third Wave & Psychedelic Coaching Institute Founder and Lead Trainer

Every other week, you get a deep dive into a core topic, followed by a Q&A with Paul F. Austin. Informed by Third Wave’s 5-pillar psychedelic coaching framework, you will get comprehensive training on topics ranging from safety and ethics, working with different medicines, and types of psychedelic coaching to outcomes of psychedelic work and how to ground breakthroughs into lasting change.

Workshops with World-Class Guest Teachers

Over the course of the program, you will get 12 in-depth workshops with our guest experts. Each of our teachers is a leader in their field. Some of the topics we will cover include: high performance coaching methods; using psychedelics for both healing and growth; psychedelics and biohacking; functional medicine and the role of diet and nutrition in achieving personal outcomes; how microdosing can help spur creativity and flow; transforming from the inside out; psychedelics for empathy, communication, and teambuilding; entrepreneurship and psychedelics; complementary practices; holistic health; and more.

Bi-Weekly 2-Hour Small Group Facilitated Integration Sessions

During these sessions, you will meet with your pre-assigned pod group and a designated facilitator to help integrate the teaching material through reflection, discussion, and application. Expect to form close relationships with your group. These sessions may include guided group conversations, breathwork, and other facilitated practices to support your growth.

Ground Theory Into Practice Through Weekly Assignments

Our goal is not to give you an abstract theoretical framework. Psychedelic work is dynamic. The principles of the work must be embodied, not memorized. Repetition, reflection, and application are essential to this process. That’s why you get weekly assignments and exercises to move this knowledge into practice in addition to small-group work, individual coaching, and teaching sessions.

Focus on Synergies Between Psychedelics and Support Methodologies

Explore how to integrate psychedelics with cutting-edge tools such as breathwork, cold therapy, meditation, neurofeedback, and more

PCI Approved Psychedelic Integration Methodologies

The Psychedelic Coaching Institute strives to stay on the cutting edge of psychedelic research and findings. Our ever-evolving integration methods are a culmination of our team’s expertise, data, and personal experiences.

Proven Frameworks for Both Microdosing & Macrodose Experiences

Discover how to design custom protocols with microdosing and macrodosing specific to your clients’ goals.

50-Hour Practicum

After completing the theoretical portion of this program, you enter into a 50-hour practicum to ground your new skills into embodied knowledge. This practice period, which will run over six months, will feature hands-on workshops to help you turn theory into practice while providing you with the time you need to complete 50 hours of psychedelic-related coaching. You can think of it as an internship, where you gain real-world experience to work with clients or friends and family, in a setting of your choice.
