Initiatory rites of passage

Why Transilience?

Every traditional culture knew that life's major transitions — the threshold crossings that have the capacity to fundamentally change who you are — were never meant to be crossed alone.

They were meant to be held by community, elders, ritual, rites, and wise counsel.
That understanding is almost entirely absent from modern culture. Without it, people have the psychedelic experience but miss the crossing.

Held within a rites-of-passage framework, sacred ceremonies becomes something far greater: a catalyst for lasting transformation.

"Transilience"
describes a leap across A psychological threshold

Transilience is training a new generation of guides and coaches who embody the wisdom, presence, and skill these profound crossings deserve.

BECOME A CERTIFIED PSYCHEDELIC COACH & PLANT MEDICINE INTEGRATION GUIDE

From thoughtful preparation to skillful integration, Transilience prepares practitioners to guide the full arc of psychedelic transformation.

Graduates earn an official certification, positioning you as experts in psychedelic integration and transformation, with the authority to carry a recognized title that highlights your unique skills and commitment to excellence in this evolving field.

Transilience Is Designed For Mature Practitioners Who:

  • Understand that psychedelic experiences are only part of the transformation, and you’re seeking a more robust framework to support meaningful integration after the ceremony ends.
  • Are deeply curious about the inner landscape of the psyche and the unconscious patterns beneath the surface that shape identity, meaning, and the direction of a person’s life.
  • Value a multi-disciplinary approach that weaves both wisdom and science into a cohesive, unified framework.
  • Sense that psychedelic experiences can become powerful rites of passage and you want to learn how to guide those thresholds with depth and integrity.
  • Aspire to stand at the forefront of a rapidly evolving field, aligning your practice with the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and care.
  • Ready to invest in your growth and education with this certified program
  • Feel a deep sense that supporting others through profound transformation is part of your path, even if you are still discovering exactly what that will look like.

Transilience Is NOT for you if...

What You Will Learn

Core Modules & Topics Covered

a 120 hour in-depth Transilience curriculUm

Please Note:
This is not a comprehensive list of each topic covered within Each module.
1. Foundations of the Journey
Preparing the Ground for Safe, supported & Sacred Psychedelic Experience

A new framework for understanding set and setting through the lens of creativity, right relationship & human flourishing

An expanded 5-part model for psychedelic preparation and integration

Safety, Harm Reduction & Trip Sitter Training

Medical & Pharmaceutical Considerations

Psychedelic Education: Microdosing to Macrodosing

The Guide-Participant Relationship: Roles, Boundaries, Ethics & Consent

Psychological foundations: Exploring how early environments, formative attachments, unmet needs, and unconscious patterns shape the inner landscape a client brings to every journey

Developmental Psychology & Core Human Needs​

The Childhood Roots of Adult Patterns & Identity

Attachment Theory & Parts Work

How the Strategies We Developed to Survive Childhood Shape Who We Are Today​

Shadow Work & the Unconscious

Illuminating What We’ve Spent a Lifetime Avoiding

Neuroplasticity & The Reopening of Critical Periods

The brain does not change at a constant rate — it becomes dramatically more plastic in response to certain experiences, including psychedelics. Drawing on Gul Dolen’s research on critical period reopening, this module explores why the integration window following a psychedelic experience is biologically precious, and what that means for how coaches support their clients through it.

Beliefs, Worldview & the Stories We Inherit

The beliefs and worldviews we carry into adulthood were largely formed before we had the capacity to consciously choose them — inherited from family, culture, and early experience, and then reinforced so consistently they became invisible. This module explores how those inherited frameworks shape perception, behavior, and identity, and why psychedelic experiences so often bring them suddenly and powerfully into view.

The body is the primary ground through which all experience is processed, all emotion is constructed, and all lasting change is made real. This section teaches Practitioners how to read the nervous system, attune to the body's signals, and work skillfully with emotion, trauma, and regulation.

Polyvagal Theory & Neuroception​

How the nervous system continuously scans for safety and threat — and why understanding this changes everything about how a guide shows up in the room

Nervous System Regulation & Windows of Tolerance​

How to recognize hyperarousal and hypoarousal states in real time and support clients in returning to the zone where learning and healing can actually occur

Self-Attunement & Interoceptive Awareness​

The practice of reading your own inner body signals — the somatic foundation of attuned presence with every client you work with

Emotional Intelligence & Mastery​

Drawing on Lisa Feldman Barrett’s Theory of Constructed Emotion, this module explores how emotions are actively built from body signals — and how that understanding opens new possibilities for working with the full spectrum of feeling in psychedelic work

All change has an architecture. The most skillful practitioners understand how perception is constructed, how language shapes meaning, and how to work with the brain's capacity for rewiring as the biological foundation of lasting transformation.

Language & Metaphor

How the Words We Use Shape What We Perceive and Experience​

The Neuroscience of Perception & Consciousness Research

Predictive Processing: How the Brain Actively Constructs Reality​ and How Prior Experience Informs What We Perceive

Transformative Learning & Disorienting Dilemmas

How Disruption Becomes the Doorway to Growth — and Why Psychedelics May Be the Most Powerful Disorienting Dilemma Available to Human Beings

The Rewritable Past: Memory, Reconsolidation & Autobiographical Identity

How the Neuroscience of Memory Reconsolidation Explains Why a Single Well-Held Journey Can Reorganize Decades of Personal Narrative

Psychedelic Neuroscience

Psychedelics don’t just alter experience — they alter the very systems through which experience is constructed. This module explores how psychedelics activate the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor, affect brain networks and the neural correlates of altered states, quiet the Default Mode Network to produce significant shifts in identity and self-perception, boost brain connectivity and neuroplasticity, and reopen critical periods of cognitive flexibility — giving coaches a rigorous scientific foundation for understanding why these compounds open such unusual windows for change.

The Ecology of Mind: 4E Cognition & How Mind, Body & Environment Co-Create the Conditions for Change

Mystical-type experiences are among the strongest predictors of lasting positive outcomes in psychedelic research. This module examines the science behind these states, including Roland Griffiths’ research and the Mystical Experience Questionnaire, revealing why these moments often produce enduring shifts in values, perception, and behavior.

Some experiences cannot be explained — only Experienced. This section gives coaches the mythological maps, philosophical frameworks, and experiential vocabulary to accompany the kind of profound threshold crossings that reorganize who a person understands themselves to be.

Rites of Passage & Threshold Literacy

How Ancient Structures of Transformation Apply to Every Psychedelic Journey​

Living Myth: How Ancient Story Structures Map Onto Every Psychedelic Journey

How the great story structures that humans have used across cultures and centuries to navigate transformation — Campbell, archetypal psychology, indigenous cosmologies — become practical tools for helping clients locate themselves in the larger arc of their own becoming.

Ego Dissolution & Self-Transcendence

How to Hold the Experiences That Go Beyond the Ordinary Self​: Transformation often begins with the loss of psychological certainty. This module develops the capacity to accompany clients through disorientation, ambiguity, and identity destabilization—supporting the unfolding of insight without prematurely forcing interpretation or closure.

What Makes Transilience Different?

While Most psychedelic training programs focus on treating mental illness, ​Transilience focuses on enhancing human flourishing.

Learn how to Apply the Wisdom and Science of Psychedelics to Support Your Clients on the Journey of Embodied Transformation.

01

You Cannot Lead Someone Where You Have Never Been: Two Solo Journey Ceremony Weekends

Transilience includes two dedicated ceremony weekends where students can work with medicine themselves — not as a requirement, but as an invitation to cultivate their own living relationship with these experiences. The most skillful guides are not those who have studied the territory from a distance. They are those who have crossed it themselves.

02

Held by the Community: Intimate Sub-Cohorts Led by Transilience Alumni

Every student is placed in a small, intimate sub-cohort led by a trained Transilience alumnus — someone who has walked this path before them and knows the terrain. This creates a layer of mentorship, accountability, and genuine relational holding that most programs simply don’t offer. You are not just taking a course. You are being welcomed into a living community of practice.

03

Learning by Doing: Two Signature Projects That Bring the Curriculum to Life

Knowledge without application remains theory. Transilience students complete two signature projects over the course of the training — not as assessments but as genuine opportunities to embody what they are learning by doing it. Because the most enduring learning happens not in the listening but in the making, the applying, and the discovering what you actually know when you have to use it.
04

A Truly Interdisciplinary Framework: Where Neuroscience, Psychology, Myth & Ancient Wisdom Converge

Most trainings draw from one or two disciplines. Transilience weaves together developmental psychology, neuroscience, somatic practice, narrative identity, eco-psychology, shamanic wisdom, Eastern philosophy, contemplative traditions, and the science of mystical experience into a single, unified framework. The result is not a collection of modules — it is a coherent and deeply integrated way of understanding human change.

Dr. Manesh Girn,

Psychedelic Neuroscientist

Manesh will discuss how the latest findings on the brain mechanisms of psychedelic drugs provide valuable insight into the processes that catalyze and support personal transformation, with or without drugs. Drawing on this scientific discussion, he will also provide practical tips on how to maximize and harness neuroplasticity for growth and lasting change.

Dr. Manesh Girn has been lead or co-author on nearly two dozen scientific publications and book chapters on topics including psychedelics, meditation, and the default-mode network. Having completed his PhD in Neuroscience at McGill University, he currently works as a postdoctoral psychedelic neuroscientist at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF). At UCSF, Manesh works closely with pioneering psychedelic researcher Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris, where he conducts research on the brain mechanisms underlying psychedelic drugs and personal transformation. Manesh also runs a YouTube channel and Instagram page – called The Psychedelic Scientist – where he discusses the latest findings in psychedelic science in a layperson-friendly form, and he also serves as Chief Research Officer at the psychedelic bioscience company EntheoTech Bioscience.

Dr. Sabrina Hadeed

Existential-phenomenological PsychologIST and PhD in Counseling, Counselor Education, and Supervision.

Foundations of Eco-Therapy

This interactive lecture offers an introduction to the art of psychedelic integration and therapy specifically exploring the experiences of interconnectedness and ecological themes that often manifest in psychedelic states. The presentation also provides an overview of the current research exploring ecological and spiritual themes often experienced in psychedelic states.

Dr. Sabrina Hadeed holds a Master’s degree in Existential-phenomenological Psychology and PhD in Counseling, Counselor Education, and Supervision.

She spent nearly 7 years of her 20 year career in the mental health field as an outdoor educator and nature based therapist. During which time, she spent an estimated 15,000 hours in the wilderness, 5,000 of which were in the remote wilderness for 23 day stretches. These experiences deepened her understanding of the wisdom and power of living to the rhythm of the natural world – amplifying internal strengths and limiting beliefs, as well as, the need for trust and interdependence in others and nature itself. She experienced awe, curiosity, humility, and the existential potency of knowing our place within a larger ecosystem.

Dr. Hadeed founded Bend Ecotherapy in 2017, a counseling practice dedicated to taking therapy outside. Over her career she has worked with thousands of clients, families, and couples helping them to navigate struggle (be it trauma, loss, or life stress), move through transitions with more grace, parenting with less conflict, relationships with more tenderness, and to find their inner wisdom in all things.

She has served as an adjunct professor for Oregon State University and Montana State University. Notably, at MSU she has been a contributing instructor for 6 years in the graduate online Addiction Counseling Certification Program.

Dr. Hadeed was honored with an “Emerging Leader Award” by the Association for Counselor Educators in 2015. And emerge she has, using her drive to empower others, creating opportunities for meaningful change, promoting diversity, and maintaining alignment with the notion that there is always more to learn and blindspots to examine (shadow work). In her leadership roles, she maintains a commitment to non-hierarchical models of leadership – which promote collaboration, inclusivity, and empowerment. She is passionate about using her voice to educate and inspire. Honoring this, she has presented at national and regional conferences throughout her career and has authored several professional articles.

She currently resides in Bend, Oregon and provides ketamine assisted therapy, as well as, guided facilitation for legal guided psilocybin experiences. She recently started a podcast called Microdose Your Marriage and a practice by the same name exclusively for couples work.

She is a certified Breathwork facilitator and a yoga instructor. Dr. Hadeed maintains credentials as a Licensed Professional Counselor (OR), Licensed Mental Health Counselor (WA), National Certified Counselor, and Approved Clinical Supervisor.

Her enthusiasm as an eco-psychedelic science educator is greatly influenced by her experiences in nature both personally and professionally, as well as, the amazing human and plant teachers that continue to inspire her.

In her private time, she is most at home in her role as a mother to two spirited little girls, her most sacred teachers.

Connect with Your Ancestry & the Natural Elements through Shamanic wisdom teachings Qi Gong and Mindful Movement

Diana will lead a Qi Gong movement and embodiment practice rooted in self care to help you ground your energy. Weaving body, mind and spirit through movement, visualization and breath, this practice will allow you to connect to your ancestry, the elements and the ancient linages we all carry deep within.

Diana was born in Costa Rica and has traveled the globe to study and refine her craft and healing modalities with some of the most sought out teachers and masters.

Diana’s passion is to serve humanity. Her personal journey and curiously in natural health and transformation led her to the studies of Psychology, Indigenous Healing Arts, Thai Massage and Yoga.

Diana was part of Granito de Arena non profit for 5 years, writing and organizing projects with indigenous communities in Costa Rica through the program “Youth in Action” from UE.

She lived for 5 years in several indigenous communities in Costa Rica (Boruca, Bribri and Cabécar) what brought a deep understanding of the cosmovision and allowed her to create strong relationships with some activist in those territories.

With over 20 years of experience, Diana serves guests and trainees throughout Costa Rica Hotels, Spas and Retreat Centers, as well as facilitating transformative retreats and trainings in Costa Rica, United States, Germany and Peru.

In 2010 she moved to Chirripo area where she co-funded and is currently co-administrating “Centro Educativo Finca Mia Chirripo”. A waldorf school that allows local kids to have access to alternative education and integrate foreigner families into a spanish speaking school.

My philosophy is “Live a simple life with authenticity, love, compassion, and integrity.” I believe that through the kindred flow of the Divine, together we create a ripple effect that heals and changes the world.

Fill your cup with fulfillment, pleasure, and happiness and transform your life.

Dream Mullick

death coach, Teacher, Healer

Inscendence: the way out, is in

Cultivate more JOY for life through a guided meditation on death. When we journey in, to the core of who we are, we prepare for our death and for more life. By meditating on our death, we may find ourselves (re)connecting with our deepest truths, our innate wholeness, and with what makes us fully human: our mortality, our soul essence, and our inherent belonging.

 

If you’re working with sacrament or psychedelics, this essential practice helps you to prepare and embody your experiences so that you can anchor them more fully into your daily life. It also motivates you to clear out your closet, so to speak, so that when you die, no one else has too. 

Born in Madras, India, to an East Indian dad and a Jewish American mom, I was destined to bridge cultures and weave worlds. My childhood unfolded between a hippie commune in Tennessee called The Farm and a suburban coastal town in central Florida, and I learned from a very early age how to navigate many diverse realms of “reality”. 

My birth name, inspired by John Lennon’s “Imagine,” mirrors my intrinsic connection to “extra-ordinary” realms of consciousness and dreams, which often guide and illuminate my path. Deeply rooted in the beauty way of the natural world and mystical spiritual realms, my work today is a tapestry of these influences. 

With a personal understanding of deep trauma and complex PTSD, I’m devoted to healing the perceived divide between self and the divine, guiding others back to the essence of who we are—Love.

Everything I offer is in service to cultivating a flourishing, resilient and beautiful world, to becoming “fully” human, to restoring the ordinary as sacred.

My current teachings focus on the sacred thresholds of birth and death, alongside the ancient and modern science of plant and psychedelic medicines.

 

Profoundly shaped by my own encounters with Death, Sacred Plants, and Psychedelics, I regard them as my master teachers. My first experience with mushrooms, 35 years ago, continues to guide me as do the deaths of my father and husband.

My offerings are enriched by diverse studies and initiations, including divination, dreams, death meditation, Tibetan dream yoga, business school, intuitive studies, soul retrieval, somatic trauma work, Shambhala meditation, 19 ways to the 5th world, and other transformative modalities.

I am committed to our journey home—to Love, to the divine, to remembering our interconnectedness, to cultivating resilience, and to our individual and collective liberation. To Truth.

Spirit-Psyche Integration: Expand Into Light and Simultaneously Heal Fractured Aspects of Your Psyche

Class One: The Biology of Trauma and Psychological Fragmentation

In this class, we will explore the biology of trauma and psychological fragmentation. We will delve into the four basic human needs, define trauma, and examine its effects on the physical body, particularly focusing on the freeze response. Additionally, we will investigate how the brain stores memories and how this can lead to short-term survival behaviors that may have long-term, devastating effects on people’s lives. We will analyze how trauma profoundly impacts an individual’s perception of reality and its interaction with the law of attraction. We will be discussing integrative healing that aligns with the laws of nature, utilizing a methodology that encompasses all aspects of a person, including the mind, body, emotions, imagination, and spirit. We will also explore the principles of vibration and polarity, demonstrating how working with these fundamental laws fosters healing, resolution, and an expansion of consciousness. I’ll also give you some practical exercises for you to practice with each other and your future clients.

Class Two: Parts Work


In this class, we will extend our exploration of trauma by diving deeper into the concept of multiple selves created within the psyche due to trauma. We will examine what traumatic socialization is and its impact on the personality structure. We will look at exiled selves (vulnerable parts), manager selves (prison wardens), and firefighter selves (protector parts), as well as explore the concept of the ‘True Self’ versus the limited personality. I’ll also introduce you to relationship triggers, the drama triangle, and the qualities of healthy friendships. This will lead into a practical demonstration of how to work with a couple of different parts work techniques to resolve trauma and heal relationships. My goal is to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of how trauma shapes the inner personality, how that impacts the external world, and how to use parts work techniques to become an inner architect.

Holly Achaya defies the conventions of a typical healer or spiritual teacher—intense, rebellious, passionate, and a unique amalgamation described affectionately by her students as part alien, part angel. Beyond titles, her mission on this planet is to help bridge the gap between the head and the heart, the sciences and the Spirit, so that people have the opportunity to turn knowledge into wisdom, heal their relationships, and create a more beautiful world together.

When she was 23, her heart was shattered, and she lost all faith in the Western healing system. This catapulted her into a spiritual quest through India, seeking both God and resolve. Here she met a woman who, instead of providing solace, manipulated and distorted spiritual teachings, plunging her into an even deeper psychological hell. The agony of this experience ignited an unwavering passion and a desire to heal herself and help others heal without causing harm.​​

Although Holly is a passionate student of healing and transformation, studying modalities including biology, science, Chinese medicine, trauma healing, parts work, shadow work, self-inquiry, hypnosis, theta healing, emotional mastery, relationships, psychedelics, Spiral Dynamics, Gene Keys, psychology, and more, she has never lost sight of the fact that, for her, the real point of all this is love, connection, and friendship. ​

Today, Holly combines her vast knowledge and transformative methodologies and offers it all to her students so that they can apply it to their lives. Professionally, Holly is the founder of the ‘Shadow Workers Academy’ and is known for her cutting-edge ‘Spirit-Psyche Integration’ healing program.
