The first Colorado training runs from February to October 2025.
InnerTrek, an Oregon-based training program for psilocybin facilitators, has obtained licensure from Colorado’s Department of Regulatory Agencies to train psychedelic practitioners, the company said.
Graduates of InnerTrek’s training program – offered virtually and in person – are eligible for state licensure in Colorado, according to InnerTrek.
The first Colorado training runs from February to October 2025. InnerTrek said it is accepting applications now until Jan. 15.
“InnerTrek’s expansion into Colorado points to the rise of a regulated model for psychedelic care,” said Tom Eckert, InnerTrek’s founder and executive director. “We’re ready to prepare facilitators to a high standard of care and bring this healing modality to those who need it.”
InnerTrek’s 150-hour primary education training in Colorado includes in-person components at a nature-based retreat center located near Boulder, as well as a virtual option for students worldwide.
Students who have completed primary facilitator training or have extensive psychedelic facilitation experience can apply to InnerTrek’s Accelerated Program. The new program is an accelerated pathway to become Colorado-licensed as a legal natural-medicine facilitator, InnerTrek noted.
“As a Colorado resident who completed the InnerTrek program, I can’t emphasize enough how vital it is for Coloradans to have access to trained, ethical psilocybin facilitators,” said Jamie Blackburn, InnerTrek graduate and Colorado resident. “Created by the architect of the country’s first legal and publicly accessible psychedelic model, InnerTrek’s program has been well-established over the past three years, giving us a thorough understanding of the complexities of working with psilocybin.”
InnerTrek said it has trained more than 300 students to date, including the nation’s inaugural class of psilocybin-therapy facilitators in 2023. InnerTrek recently opened its new Center for Psilocybin Services in Portland.
