“This program deeply changed me, on both a personal and professional level. Coming out of this year, I not only have skills, resources, knowledge, and a community to support me in safely and ethically facilitating psychedelic work — I have a different way of relating to myself and others. I have done many years of therapy prior to this program, but the practices I honed here and the container Gil created to learn, heal, and whole was truly transformative. I am changed, and I am so grateful.”
— Bronwyn L.
“I am sooo much more confident and comfortable with this work than I was before starting this program. I had taken guide trainings prior to this one, but I have always felt tentative and tread so carefully in the journeys I facilitated before this program. Now I can trust my knowledge, expertise and intuition. ”
— Catherine L.
“As a psychotherapy practitioner, I chose an underground training specifically because of its emphasis on the elements of ceremony and wisdoms much older than Western knowing. Gil’s program not only equipped me with the skills to do ethical preparatory, ceremonial, and integrative work, but yielded me deep life-long friendships and a renewed sense of hope for my personal future.”
— DK, graduate
“Gil’s training program gracefully blends Western psychology with ancient, earth-based wisdoms to provide a holistic and effective framework not only for healing trauma, but for moving through it to realize one’s full potential and thrive in life. I could not recommend this training enough. Gil exudes compassion and brilliance and is an endless source of wisdom and knowledge. His healing container is impeccable and the space he holds masterful. I’ve experienced many ceremonies and never felt so safe and well held in my journeys.”

“Thank you for all your love, support and hard work to pass your wisdom and knowledge to us. What a gift. I feel so blessed to know my purpose and be on the path. I am beyond grateful to be walking the medicine path with you. ”
— Lauren R.
“I have a keen bullshit detector and a cynical, but spot-on part of me that is always available to warn me of any potential breaches in a person’s integrity. You have never, ever raised any warning flags for me, and have always shown nothing but full integrity. I truly cherish this quality in you, and especially in this line of work.”
— Catherine L.
““This experience has been transformational in ways that continue to unfold in my life, even five years later. Through the many tools, practices, teachings, and experiences Gil brought to our work together, I began to explore myself with greater curiosity, compassion, and openness. Learning Internal Family Systems and parts work was a particularly meaningful part of that journey. It opened up a much more expansive way of relating to all the parts of myself. One of the most profound aspects of the program was having my soul on the agenda every week for an entire year. I discovered new ways to listen to my inner wisdom and to allow myself to be changed by and with life. I found my own internal muse, my unique siren song, the wisdom that continues to pull me toward my deepest becoming. This has been soul work for me.””
