MAGIC MUSHROOM
FACILITATOR PROGRAM
A grounded training for those called to hold intentional, ethical, and safe spaces for magic mushroom experiences.
IS THIS PROGRAM FOR YOU?
This program is for those who feel called to work more consciously and responsibly with magic mushrooms and to develop the skills, awareness, and presence required to hold space for others.
You may be here if you:
Feel called to support others through intentional magic mushroom experiences.
Want to develop a deeper understanding of set, setting, preparation, and integration.
Are already holding space and want to strengthen your facilitation skills.
Want to explore the psychological, relational, somatic, and spiritual dimensions of this work.
Are committed to approaching entheogen work with humility, ethics, discernment, and care.
This is not about becoming an expert. It is about becoming a more conscious and responsible space holder.
OUR THREE PILLARS IN THIS PROGRAM
This training brings together ancestral wisdom, embodied facilitation, and transpersonal approaches to create a multidimensional foundation for responsible space-holding.

Meet India
India Mayorga is a holistic therapist, ancestral healing guide, ceremonialist, educator, and artist who has spent more than a decade facilitating transformational spaces and mentoring others in embodied and relational practices.
Her work weaves together somatic awareness, inner-child work, meditation, visualization, cacao medicine, purpose work, and ancestral approaches to healing. Her training includes Holistic Therapy, QHHT, and 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, alongside years of learning and mentorship with Indigenous elders and medicine practitioners.
India has spent approximately 18 years mentoring and supporting young people and communities, and has increasingly devoted her work to empowering women and supporting those who feel called to become responsible space holders themselves.
She is also a co-founder of an international retreat center, and has developed her approach through years of direct practice, mentorship, ceremony, and relationship with ancestral wisdom.
Her work is ultimately rooted in a simple question: not only what do we know, but who are we becoming as we hold space for another human being?

WHAT PARTICIPANTS SAY
“What impacted me most was observing how India holds space, prepares people before ceremony, and supports integration afterward. I felt really safe and supported before, during, and after my experiences. The immersion deepened my trust and intuition in myself, in this work, and with the medicine.”
— Margareth, Facilitator Program Participant, 2025
“My journey through the program opened a deeper relationship with my heart, dreams, and my own boundaries. Through the process, I gained greater clarity about who I want to become—stepping toward my path as a grower and an elder, with a desire to guide and support others, India is such a grounded medicine woman..”
— Donna, Facilitator Program Participant, 2025WHY THIS TRAINING?
The work begins with you.
As psychedelic work expands, more people are being called to hold space for experiences that can be deeply vulnerable, transformative, and unpredictable.
Good intentions are not enough.
Holding space asks us to develop ourselves alongside our skills—to cultivate presence, discernment, ethical responsibility, embodied awareness, clear boundaries, and the capacity to meet another person's experience without imposing our own.
This training is an invitation to become the facilitator before you become the guide.
