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

- Understand the strengths and blind spots that you bring to the work
