Zendo SIT

After completing enrollment, you will receive a confirmation email with instructions on registering for our live calls. A few days before the first live session, you will receive an additional orientation email about accessing the Zendo SIT portal, recommended pre-class reading, and other important details to review before our first session.

This is a live virtual training. You are welcome to participate asynchronously, but there are some live elements, such as Q&A and breakout groups, that you would miss out on. You would still have access to the Zendo SIT portal, meeting recordings, and all relevant course materials until one month after the end of the course.

If you are a licensed professional seeking Continuing Education (CE) credit, please note that our partnership with the Spiritual Competency Academy does not allow for asynchronous completion of this course.

Yes! You can enroll using a flexible payment plan through Klarna, with options to pay over 3, 4, 6, or 12 months. Simply add the Zendo SIT course to your cart and select “Klarna” at checkout.

Yes, refunds are available at a 90% rate until one week prior to the training. Refunds become unavailable in the 7 days prior to the training, but you are able to move your enrollment to the next available month long training(s). Please email us for details if you need to transfer dates.

While a non-direct approach is familiar to many mental health care professionals, this training focuses on how to apply those skills to people experiencing non-ordinary states of consciousness, or going through crises. We offer experiential opportunities to practice and refine skills, as well as useful reflection practices and resources that will support your clinical work.

Upon successful completion of this course, you will receive a Course Completion Award. Unless otherwise noted, your award will be filled out using the name you provided when you registered for the course.

To earn this award, attendance at live calls is mandatory. In the event of missing a live call, you will be required to review the recording(s) and complete the associated reflection assignment(s) within 30 days of the course’s conclusion. Please contact us to confirm your viewing of the recording and completion of reflection assignments once you have done so.

Please note that the course completion award does not signify certification in any specific field. Instead, it serves as recognition of your dedication and successful completion of the 12 live course hours. 

If you hold a professional license (e.g., LMFT, LCSW, LPC), you may be eligible to earn 12 Continuing Education (CE) credits by completing the Zendo SIT course.

• Attendance: To earn CE credits, you must attend all live training sessions via Zoom. Attendance is monitored to ensure participants attend each session in its entirety.
• Receiving credit: Upon successful completion of the course, eligible students will receive an email invitation to pay the $70 CE processing fee. After paying this fee, you will receive a link to fill out the Assessment and Evaluation (A&E) Form. After completing this form, you will receive your certificate of completion. You have 30 days from the end of the course to submit the form and receive your CE credits.

All accepted volunteers are provided with (and required to attend) a comprehensive volunteer training. This training has three components:

• Core Competency, a 4-hour virtual training covering key skills in psychedelic support and Zendo Project’s core principles.
• Role-Specific Training, online training that focuses on preparing individuals for specific event-based volunteer roles. 
• Interactive In-Person, the training that takes place at each event.

Upon successful completion of the Zendo SIT course, you will be exempted from the Core Competency component of the volunteer training, should you apply and be accepted as a volunteer. The exemption is good for two years from the time you received the SIT training. As a volunteer, you will still need to complete the role-specific and interactive in-person components of the training.

While Zendo SIT completion exempts volunteers from specific event training elements and may be taken into consideration when reviewing applications, we cannot guarantee placement at any specific event. Your application should reflect your interest in providing support and clearly demonstrate your aptitude for the role(s) you apply for.

Our Zendo SIT Course is distinct from our traditional Volunteer Training (Burning Man, Envision, Lightning in a Bottle, etc.).

Our Volunteer Training has three components:

• Core Competency, a 4-hour virtual training covering key skills in psychedelic support and Zendo Project’s core principles.
• Role-Specific Training, online training that focuses on preparing individuals for specific event-based volunteer roles. 
• Interactive In-Person, the training that takes place at each event.

Compared to our volunteer training, the Zendo SIT course provides a more comprehensive and immersive exploration of the core principles of psychedelic care. Rather than focusing solely on event and festival settings, this course explores diverse settings where support may be essential. It’s a transformative online experience designed to equip participants with the skills needed to provide emotional care to anyone, in any setting – including volunteers providing psychedelic support in the Zendo.
