Mind Medicine Institute is a world-leading consultancy and education organisation dedicated to the development of best practice and best outcome in mental health. We are experts in the design, implementation, and management of psychological treatment with a particular emphasis on the emergent field of Psychedelic Assisted Therapy (PAT). We are partnered with world leaders in the field with long associations with Grof Transpersonal Training (GTT) and the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) and Imperial College, London. We are experts in the design and implementation of clinical trials in psychedelic and empathogenic medicine. We pay deep respect to the long and rich ethnographic cultures from whose midst these medicines first emerged.  We respect the Western forebears who introduced systematic shamanic practice to the West: Michael Harmer, Stanley Krippner, Michael Winkelman, Raphael Locke, to name a few.  However, we believe strongly that the way forward with the psychedelic paradigm is manage it within the context of Western medicine, science, and psychological therapy. 

The way forward is with leadership that at once recognizes the unique opportunities that present with an emerging therapeutic and research paradigm, presents a clarity of purpose in engaging best practice research and therapeutic approaches to this emergent paradigm, and finally, recognizes the need for collaborative engagement of this paradigm. Research into long term efficacy of these interventions clearly demonstrates that a broader view of existence or a deeper sense of connection is one of the fundamental aspects of healing. We live in world broken by long term rivalry, competition, and violence. Our institutions have adapted to the trauma that has marked the evolution of our civilization. Trauma informed approaches mark the education of most forward-looking social organizations. Mind Medicine Institute is committed to operationalizing healing at the deepest and most lasting level. Our protocols and consultancy begin from the place of deep and lasting change.

Strong evidence-based practice. Strong governance. Systematic study of outcomes. Clear and defined evaluation of both strengths and weaknesses of our approaches are all hallmarks of our consultancy culture. Change does not come from hope but from systematic and self-reflective practice.  Hope then, is not a dream of a far off ideal, but the implementation of the science, therapy, medicine, and system that in now at our disposal. Mind Medicine Institute is deeply committed to the realization of this hope through science and reason.

Mind Medicine Institute’s psychedelic-assisted therapy training programs’ purpose is to develop a therapeutic paradigm to support the effective use of psychedelic and empathogenic medicines. 

We do this is in an ethical, legal and evidence-based manner through continued research into world standard best practice, the engagement of a leading international faculty and continuous improvement of our own practices and approach.

We welcome medically trained professionals, psychologically trained professionals, psychotherapists and suitably qualified allied health workers into our training.  

We believe that the inclusion of professionals from different disciplines, when governed and supported adequately, provides the broadest and most fertile ecology for the growth of psychedelic-assisted therapy. 

Mind Medicine Institute is committed to an ethical, clinically focussed and evidence-based application of Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy (PAT). We consider this best achieved through the development of systematic clinical trials, in parallel with a deep consideration of what a broader community access to psychedelic medicine may look like. 

We understand that there is community use of these medicines and we do not support or encourage recreational use of these substances. We are firmly of the view that adequate governance should support the stepwise movement of psychedelic-assisted treatment from trials to the controlled use of this approach by suitably qualified professionals in clinical environments.
