Sign Up Now ✨
Psychedelics have never been more popular — decriminalization is happening all over the world, and legalization feels just around the corner. Sacred Mushrooms have never been easier to get. Yet many communities are still lacking in effective role models to inspire the new generation of Psychonauts.
We believe that anyone with a kind heart and a passion for Sacred Earth Medicines and helping peers is capable of stepping up and becoming a force of good in their community!
The Psychedelic Journeywork Cohort is designed to help people approach psychedelics with more intention, education, and care… so we can better support ourselves, our friends, our families, and our communities.
By the end of the cohort, you'll have a deeper understanding of psychedelic best practices through the lens of both traditional wisdom and modern psychedelic research, while building meaningful connection with a community walking this path alongside you.

Voices From The Community
Real experiences from our Journeywork Cohort alumni
Joining the Fungi Academy's Psychedelic Journeywork Cohort was one of the best decisions of my life — and I don't say that lightly. The PJWC was a light at the end of the tunnel, guiding me out of the darkness… I had finally found my tribe. The community aspect of the experience was essential for me. It kept me on track with the material and made me look forward to every call and class. I made lifelong friends with whom I still communicate and collaborate. The experience completely shifted my trajectory. If you feel a call to work with psychedelics in any capacity, I highly recommend Fungi Academy's Psychedelic Journeywork Cohort.
Joining The Fungi Academy cohort was one of the best decisions I've made for both my personal and professional growth. The program provided a grounded and comprehensive learning experience that allowed me to integrate a significant amount of knowledge in a relatively short period of time.
What stood out most was the level of care, intention, and attention to detail invested into the course. The support and guidance throughout the experience helped me develop confidence in my voice as a facilitator and gave me a strong foundation for moving forward on this path.
I am now integrating this work alongside my energy healing services, and it has greatly enhanced the way I am able to support my clients in a meaningful and impactful way. I am deeply grateful for the wisdom, community, and transformational experience this program provided.

Absolutely not! If you want to become a psychedelic therapist, you'll need proper training. This course is made for people wanting to get more out of their personal experience. We'll cover basic peer-to-peer psychedelic support on how to be the best co-journeyer for your loved ones. When it comes to becoming a "shaman" — it's better to search for people who have a lineage of doing it. Or wear crazy hats. 🧙♂️
