“Great training shows in the thought and quality put into the program—it doesn't feel like a box to check. As a licensed nutritionist, I found Changa's psilocybin facilitation program engaging and valuable. The heart-centered, experienced instructors made the live sessions and discussions impactful. I still keep in touch with many from my group and love the community they created.”
