One of the key challenges concerning the implementation of psychedelic-assisted therapies (PATs) lies in the lack of qualified and trained therapists to facilitate these novel treatment modalities. This is exactly why we felt the need to create the most extensive and scientifically grounded training program. 

The Augmented Psychotherapy Training is a 15-month curriculum that provides participants with the knowledge and skills they need to practice Psychedelic-Augmented Psychotherapy and Integration-Focused Psychotherapy in a legal, safe, and evidence-based framework. 

Providing excellent training to a new generation of psychedelic therapists is key to the success of implementing psychedelic therapies.

To harness the potential of altered states of consciousness for human development, we need to create a new, and responsible culture. That is why the INSIGHT Forum opened it doors in February 2024. Here we critically explore the science and the practice of consciousness from a variety of perspectives - the medical, philosophical, societal, economic, and many more to inform our discourse. Ultimately, we strive for a responsible enculturation of psychedelic states into medicine and society, much in the way the German philosopher Thomas Metzinger describes with his concept of a Bewusstseinskultur (an ethical culture of consciousness). 

In practical terms, the INSIGHT Forum is realized in an event series that lends itself to this goal. Each event consists of three parts: the Rationale as critical, intellectual discourse, the Transrationale as an experiental practice such as meditation, and Communitas as a networking space. Through this combination of activities, we strive to build a new cultural context.
