“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.”

“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. ”

“This training is the answer to my prayers. Beloved teacher, my heart is bursting with gratitude for you and the way you walk through the world 🙏 Thank you for saying yes to your calling, thank you for following the whispers of life, thank you for opening your heart and your work to us, thank you for allowing me to participate in this class and to sit with and learn from these ancient teachers. I am so deeply humbled and honored to be in this space and none of this would be possible without you saying yes each step of the way. ”

“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.”

“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. ”

“Gil’s holistic approach reminds us that we are so much more than our wounds and the defense mechanisms that we developed to cope with life. His process wakes us up to uncover and embody the natural resources we inherited at birth, discovering gifts from the heart of the earth to all of her children that were there all along. ”
— AS, graduate
“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.”
