Our certifications are designed for practitioners who want to work with complexity in a grounded and relational way. Rather than relying on fixed protocols or outcome-driven models, we focus on developing the capacity to stay present with processes that unfold over time. Change rarely happens in a straight line. It is shaped by relationships, environments, timing, and support. Our trainings are built around that understanding.

We offer two primary areas of certification: Coaching Certifications and training in the Lascaux Facilitation Method.

Coaching Certifications

Relational approaches to addiction, behavior change, and psychedelic work

Our coaching certifications prepare practitioners to work across a range of contexts, including substance use, behavior change, and psychedelic preparation and integration. While these areas are often treated separately, we approach them as overlapping domains that require a shared set of relational skills.

Within this track, we offer several distinct training pathways.

Addiction and substance use coaching focuses on supporting people in changing their relationship to substances without imposing a single definition of recovery. Coaches learn to work with ambivalence, recognize the role of environment and context, and support movement that is gradual and often uneven. This includes what is often referred to as harm reduction, though our emphasis is less on the term and more on the stance: pragmatic, non-moralizing, and grounded in what is actually possible for a person at a given time.

Psychedelic coaching for addiction sits at the intersection of substance use and psychedelic work. Coaches are trained to support preparation and integration in a way that does not overstate what psychedelic experiences can do, while still recognizing their potential to shift perspective and open new possibilities. The focus remains on continuity, support, and what happens before and after the experience.

Psychedelic preparation and integration coaching is designed for those supporting clients who are working with psychedelics in legal or supported contexts. This training emphasizes preparing for the broader arc of the experience, including expectations, support planning, and post-experience integration. Coaches learn to resist the pull toward over-interpreting or over-directing, and instead help clients stay connected to what is actually unfolding in their lives.

Coaching for challenging psychedelic experiences focuses on how to respond when things do not go as expected. Rather than quickly pathologizing or romanticizing these experiences, coaches are trained to prioritize stabilization, pacing, and relational support. The emphasis is on helping people regain footing before moving toward meaning-making.

Across all of these trainings, coaches develop the ability to provide continuity, recognize early signs of destabilization, and support clients in building forms of support that extend beyond the coaching relationship.

The Lascaux Facilitation Method

A relational approach to holding experience

The Lascaux Facilitation Method is a distinct training for those who want to deepen their ability to work within the relational field of an experience, particularly in psychedelic contexts. This is not a protocol or a step-by-step model. It is a way of working that prioritizes attention, timing, and presence over technique.

Facilitators are trained to remain with experience as it unfolds, rather than directing it toward a predetermined outcome. This includes recognizing the difference between support and intrusion, and developing sensitivity to when intervention is helpful and when it disrupts a process that is still taking form. The method draws from dialogic practice and relational traditions, with an emphasis on what is happening between people, not just within individuals.

It is especially relevant in high-intensity or uncertain situations, where the impulse to guide or interpret can easily outpace what a person is able to integrate. At its core, Lascaux is about developing the capacity to hold experience in a way that allows it to take shape on its own terms.

A Shared Foundation

Relationship, context, and restraint

While these trainings can be taken independently, they share a common foundation. Across all of our certifications, we emphasize relationship over technique, process over immediate outcome, context over isolated intervention, and ethical restraint over urgency to produce change. Whether you are working as a coach, therapist, or facilitator, the aim is the same: to support people in ways that are grounded, responsive, and sustainable over time.
