The mission of the Holistic Psychedelic Nurses Collective is to create psychedelic care learning opportunities rooted in a framework of holistic nursing including respect for nature, traditional practices, and spiritual care.

This nursing continuing professional development activity was approved by

the American Holistic Nurses Association, an accredited approver by the

American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation.

Return to Roots is a step on the path for nurses who long to unite the worlds of

nursing, psychedelics, and spirituality.

It is not a comprehensive psychedelic practitioner training, but an invitation to focus on three areas of crucial self-development that will continue to unfold throughout your ongoing practice:

cultural humility,

caring for the healing environment,

and energetic competencies.

• Clarify your intention for working with sacred medicine
• Explore the complexity of overlapping cultural frameworks in the psychedelic landscape
• Identify the unique contributions the field of nursing can make in psychedelic practice, including the core competency of caring for the healing environment
• Understand the strengths and blind spots that you bring to the work
• Develop and strengthen a personal practice to build competence as a space holder
• Utilize a framework for ritual in the healing arts
• Understand how to bring sacred medicine concepts into any nursing role
• Experience the enthusiasm and wisdom of a network of kindred nurses
