Position: Psychedelic Guide


About the Position

A psychedelic guide at CIT is someone who is a pillar in our client’s journey to achieve positive transformational outcomes, contributing to our mission of transforming lives and helping clients reach their goals and behavioral transformations. The role of the guide is to attend to the physical, personal, safety, and other interpersonal needs of participants, with full attention and open acceptance, while avoiding “care-taking”, psychoanalysis, fixing, labeling, diagnosing, or being distracted. 

We are looking for a psychedelic guide to help provide patient direction, safety, and security when working with psychedelic/altered states of consciousness.  Guides are equipped and trained with specific skills in case any challenges or obstacles arise along the way and are responsible for aiding patients in their preparation of their experience through “set” and “setting”.  Guides are familiar with the “territory” – the process of using psychedelics - to aid in mental health support by helping patients unlock powerful experiences or deeper truths while ensuring a safe journey. Guides help individuals move through transformative experiences, and are skilled in navigating with compassion, calmness and empathy or any other sensations that arise during the journey.
