Inner Compass Course — Free Psychedelic Therapy Preparation
The Inner Compass Course is a free 12-module evidence-informed course covering psychedelic therapy preparation, session navigation, and a full year of integration. No account required. No cost. Built for anyone considering or preparing for psychedelic therapy.
Modules cover: what psychedelic therapy is and isn't, the research landscape, preparation protocols, set and setting, navigating the session, immediate integration, somatic integration, relationships after integration, the 12-month arc, and building a long-term support system.
The Inner Compass Course is designed for anyone considering psychedelic therapy, currently in preparation, or working through integration after a session. Modules cover the full arc from first research through one full year of integration. Each module includes practice exercises, reflection prompts, and evidence summaries.
Topics include understanding the research landscape, the five main medicines, contraindications and safety screening, working with a therapist or facilitator, preparing your mindset and environment, navigating difficult experiences during a session, somatic integration practices, how psychedelics affect relationships, building long-term support systems, and the 12-month integration arc.
The course draws on research from Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic Research, MAPS, NYU, and Imperial College London. All content is reviewed for accuracy and updated as new research emerges. Free, no account required.
Psychedelic therapy preparation is one of the most underserved areas in mental health education. Most people approaching their first session have done extensive research on the medicine itself but very little preparation for the psychological and relational dimensions of the experience. The Inner Compass Course addresses this gap directly. It is the most comprehensive free preparation resource currently available and has been built to be genuinely useful, not just reassuring.
