Networking & Connecting with other facilitators is IMPERATIVE
We've chosen to be here during this very critical paradigm shift and as psychedelics become mainstream, your voice should be heard. We are celebrating, connecting, collaborating and networking in an effort to influence the above ground movement.
We live in community and have to work in community. Joining a collective of like minded individuals empowers us all as one to impact the emergence of plant based medicine.
We've seen the clinical model, we've explored the shamanic approaches and alternative methods and it's our understanding that the most beneficial way forward includes a little bit of each.
Your background, orientation and style is welcome here and we value your input. Come connect within our association to join the movement in impacting the way psychedelic medicine is unearthed into our culture and future generations.

What Happens in a Wisdom Circle?
-
Case Presentation
The first hour consists of a case presentation for psychedelic facilitators typically includes a detailed account of the client's personal history, current mental state, and any relevant medical conditions or medications. The facilitator should also provide information about the medicine work, set and setting of the client/session, as well as any unexpected experiences or challenges that arose during the session.
-
Open Discussion
The second hour allows space for open discussion around other topics, themes and brief consultation topics for anyone and everyone in the group to offer up for feedback. All questions are welcome here and no question is a stupid question, we are all learning together and at some point have gotten stuck where you are. You might be met with resources, referrals or suggestions from your peers. At the very least, you'll receive support around your open discussion share.
-
Structured Containers
In case consultation, a structured container refers to a safe, supportive, and confidential space for exploring the case. It involves setting agendas, group agreements, and establishing a shared understanding of the goals and objectives of the consultation

Testimonials
Here's what some of our current members have to say about PGN:
"I signed up for PGN because it's exactly what I had been looking for. As a licensed professional who has spent years working on multimodality treatment teams in a medical setting, consultation has been the cornerstone of my practice."
-PGN Member
"The best thing about PGN is having other practitioners who are doing the same work, and they come from many different backgrounds, offer suggestions and ideas in the spirit of growth for all involved, we hold each other accountable, we support each other through difficult cases, we celebrate wins and become colleagues, collaborators, and even friends."
-PGN Member
"By being a member of PGN and encouraging others to hold themselves in an ethical, authentic, and compassionate way, not only are we better clinicians, our clients are better cared for, and all are safer. I feel that it is through consultation that we are true stewards of our medicine."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How many practitioners per group?
Each group has a Wisdom Circle of 8-10 practitioners, facilitator of the wisdom circle included.
How often do groups meet?
Wisdom Circles meet every other week (Bi-Weekly).
Can I try out a group before I join?
Because our containers are closed groups, each seat is reserved. We don't have ‘trial groups’ but if it somehow turns out this is an experience not for you, you are free to exit the group after the 3 month period has completed.
What happens if I miss a group?
Well.. you miss a group! We encourage as much attendance as possible to support the community building aspects of each Wisdom Circle but also understand: Life shows up! Take care of you!
Are groups recorded so I can see what i’ve missed?
Due to the strict confidential nature of our group and material shared, there is no recording permitted on any level, of any group, ever.
If this is a peer to peer model, why is there a fee?
PGN is more than just a peer to peer experience. We are an organized and professional association offering structure, dashboards, and are dedicating our time to solving many of the problems found in the standard peer to peer models. We also have other perks of the association of value including our speaker series. Our facilitators are paid for their time and the technology supporting our organization also comes at a cost.
