Welcome to the in-person immersive training program hosted by the Emerald Valley Institute.

All participants are expected to foster an environment of mutual respect and psychological safety. Disruptive, aggressive, or disrespectful behavior toward facilitators, fellow trainees, or staff will not be tolerated. This includes any form of harassment, intimidation, or discrimination.
2. Confidentiality
Due to the sensitive nature of the content and personal sharing that may occur during training, all participants are required to keep strictly confidential any and all information heard, observed, or discussed during the program. This includes, but is not limited to, personal experiences, identities, medical or psychological information, and professional methods shared by peers or trainers.
Information shared in this training must not be disclosed, repeated, or discussed outside the training environment. Any breach of this confidentiality obligation will result in immediate removal from the program.
3. No Drugs, Violence, or Misconduct
Illegal drugs, alcohol, and unauthorized substances are strictly prohibited during practicum.
Participants may not attend practicum under the influence of any substance.
Students may have the opportunity to participate in a psilocybin administration session through Emerald Valley Holistic (EVH) as part of their practicum experience. Because practicum is conducted at an OHA-licensed Psilocybin Service Center, participation is only permitted under strict compliance with all OHA regulations and EVH procedures, including:
Completing the full client intake, preparation, and screening process
Meeting all OHA-required eligibility and safety standards
Participating in a supervised administration and integration session, if approved
Participation in psilocybin services is not guaranteed.
Eligibility is determined solely through EVH’s regulated screening process, safety considerations, and practicum planning.
Students who do not qualify for psilocybin services, or who choose not to participate, will engage in alternative, non-substance altered-states-of-consciousness training methods that fully meet practicum requirements.
Students are not required to use psilocybin in order to complete practicum or graduate from the program
Any form of violence, threats, harassment, or possession of weapons will result in immediate removal from practicum.
