PROFFESSIONAL REQUIREMENTS

Clinicians, Event Leaders & Facilitators

  1. All clinicians are required to be licensed in their respective field or: have worked in a clinical trial of psychedelics in the role of a therapist or guide or: be an authorized tribal/indigenous representative. Facilitators, event organizers, retreat/event/workshop leaders, and support staff are not required to be licensed but must agree to our Code of Conduct.

  3. All provider advertising and social media postings should be aligned with DPS’s mission, values, and ethics. 

  4. Professional references may be collected and contacted as part of the application process.

Maintaining Quality Providers/Services

DPS may:

Withdraw participation, affiliation, or partnership with any collaboration project leader, clinician, shamanic healer, facilitator, service provider, or other professional at any time, for any reason except in cases where doing so creates danger or unsafe conditions for anyone.
