Level One Training Videos
Video Library
Welcome to our library of training videos, where we offer open access to the filmed lectures that make up part of our Level I didactics. This video series is designed to be viewed in sequence. At present, we are offering access to some of our videos free below. Additional free content is also here.
Note: With the exception of Video 2, the entire series is mandatory for LMI Trainees in the Certificate Program.
Our Mission to Educate
Why we make these resources FREE
We understand that training is expensive. Often therapists from under-served communities- the very communities who have the least access to this form of therapy- cannot afford the time and expense of a quality training course. Though we recognize that the experiential aspect of training cannot be done remotely, we hope that free, public access to these teaching resources will allow the global community of psychedelic providers to benenfit from our years of experience. We offer this in service to all of you working to heal others.
