This is a live virtual training. You are welcome to participate asynchronously, but there are some live elements, such as Q&A and breakout groups, that you would miss out on. You would still have access to the Zendo SIT portal, meeting recordings, and all relevant course materials until one month after the end of the course.

If you are a licensed professional seeking Continuing Education (CE) credit, please note that our partnership with the Spiritual Competency Academy does not allow for asynchronous completion of this course.

Yes, refunds are available at a 90% rate until one week prior to the training. Refunds become unavailable in the 7 days prior to the training, but you are able to move your enrollment to the next available month long training(s). Please email us for details if you need to transfer dates.

While a non-direct approach is familiar to many mental health care professionals, this training focuses on how to apply those skills to people experiencing non-ordinary states of consciousness, or going through crises. We offer experiential opportunities to practice and refine skills, as well as useful reflection practices and resources that will support your clinical work.

At the end of this course, you will receive a Course Completion Award for attending the Zendo Sitting and Integration Training Course. Your certificate will be filled out using the name you listed when you registered for the course. Please let us know if you would like the name on your award to be changed by emailing us at the address below. 

Please note that the course completion award does not signify certification in any specific field. Instead, it serves as recognition of your dedication and successful completion of the 12 live course hours. 

To obtain this certificate, attendance at live calls is mandatory. In the event of missing a live call, watching the recording is compulsory by the course’s conclusion. Please email sit@zendoproject.org to confirm your viewing of the recording and completion of course material for the week the live call was missed.

All accepted volunteers are provided with (and required to attend) a comprehensive volunteer training. This training has three components:

• Core Competency, a 4-hour virtual training covering key skills in psychedelic support and Zendo Project’s core principles.
• Role-Specific Training, online training that focuses on preparing individuals for specific event-based volunteer roles. 
• Interactive In-Person, the training that takes place at each event.

Upon successful completion of the Zendo SIT course, you will be exempted from the Core Competency component of the volunteer training, should you apply and be accepted as a volunteer. The exemption is good for two years from the time you received the SIT training. As a volunteer, you will still need to complete the role-specific and interactive in-person components of the training.

While Zendo SIT completion exempts volunteers from specific event training elements and may be taken into consideration when reviewing applications, we cannot guarantee placement at any specific event. Your application should reflect your interest in providing support and clearly demonstrate your aptitude for the role(s) you apply for.
