Hakomi Training for Psychedelic Practitioners & People Exploring Altered States (Arizona)

Having worked with Tony Hoare in the context of ceremony and therapy and having both witnessed and personally benefited from Georgia Marvin’s Hakomi mastery, I enthusiastically recommend their new training initiative for post-medicine integration.

Gabor Maté M.D.

This training is designed to enhance your existing practice as a medicine practitioner, supporting the way you already work while adding the Hakomi method to deepen your clients’ experience.

Hakomi encourages clients to step out of story and thought, and into awareness of their adaptive unconscious, where their natural wisdom lives. It is non-intrusive, meaning the practitioner is not working hard or pushing for outcomes. Instead, Hakomi offers a powerful edge: helping you assist a client’s self-study in a way that aligns beautifully with the altered states accessed through medicine work.

Curious about Hakomi? These resources offer a helpful introduction:

If this training feels aligned with your work, we invite you to join the waitlist. You'll be the first to hear when registration opens and receive details about upcoming training dates.

What Will Be Different After This Workshop:

• Expand the way you work with altered states
  Learn to track subtle body-mind signals and follow the client’s organic unfolding. Hold clients who may be distressed without needing to rescue or fix anything.
• Learn practical, gentle tools for preparation, the journey + integration
  Hakomi’s loving presence, present-moment awareness, and playful experimental approach help clients soften their defenses and turn insights into real change.
• Strengthens your therapeutic presence
  Embody the attuned, grounded, relational presence that psychedelic work depends on. Your presence becomes a primary healing mechanism.
• Enhances safety + trust in sessions
  Create conditions where unconscious material can surface safely through mindful, embodied exploration rather than analysis.

Why Hakomi + Psychedelics Align So Naturally:
Both disciplines expand awareness and bring unconscious patterns into consciousness. Both rely on a warm, openhearted therapeutic relationship. Hakomi gives psychedelic practitioners a language, structure, and set of practices that integrate seamlessly into every phase of the work.
