#12 - Perspectives on Psychedelic Guiding (Expansion Seminar Live Panel)

Welcome to Episode 12 of the The Flying Sage Podcast! This is a special pre-recorded episode from one of our live Expansion Seminars in Vancouver. These seminars are opportunities for our community to come together to hear from professionals in the psychedelic space and to share resources, research and knowledge about the benefits of psychedelics and we host them once per month.

For our first seminar of the Fall we invited four experienced underground facilitators in Vancouver to discuss the work that they do and their approach to psychedelic healing. This was a fascinating panel and like any of these events, we could have spent hours and hours going deeper into the conversations that were unfolding.

Some specific questions we addressed in the seminar include…

• What does it mean to be a psychedelic guide?


• What is the difference between a guide and a trip-sitter?


• What are some of the top qualities to look for in a psychedelic guide?


• How does healing work in psychedelic therapy?


• What is role of touch and music in psychedelic therapy?


• How can we create safety in psychedelic containers?


• How do you approach money?

These are just some of the main questions we touched on during this conversation. We hope you enjoy the episode and if you would like to learn more about each panelist, you can visit their work below…
