In this introductory course, we'll introduce you to various psychedelic medicines and how they can be used to treat conditions like depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, substance use disorders, and others. This course invites you to explore the world of psychedelics, their effects, their harm potential, and their potential as therapeutic tools. We will embark on a journey through time, exploring the impact of The Controlled Drugs and Substances Act in Canada and The Controlled Substances Act in the United States on psychedelic research and drug policy. This program will also explore the nuances of cultural safety and humility within the context of psychedelic-assisted therapy, recognizing the significance of inclusive and respectful practices.

WHO WE ARE
Numinus exists to help the world heal, starting with addressing the global crisis in mental health by harnessing the power and promise of psychedelic medicine. Through our integrated model, we are actively contributing to the body of primary and clinical psychedelic research while delivering best-in-class therapeutic protocols across our clinics.
At Numinus we understand that psychedelics are powerful medicines, but not magic pills. We understand that they can profoundly change lives, families, and communities, and that success requires more than just a breakthrough experience-it also takes careful, sensitive attention to every individual’s story, mindful preparation, and a grounded, realistic plan for what comes after.
Numinus boasts a diverse and interdisciplinary team of professionals, from physicians and psychiatrists to mindfulness teachers, nurses and psychotherapists, researchers and technicians. Our protocols are backed by rigorous science, and delivered by a team that understands that even the best tools still require genuine human care to be effective.
At the core of what we do at Numinus is a deep sense of curiosity and humility about everything we encounter. We know that psychedelics, mindfulness, and embodied practices are not new tools, but rather owe a debt to some very old ways of being and caring for one another. We’re working every day to honour that wisdom and those traditions, and integrating it with the best that modern science has to offer.
