Hands on Training
One week of hands-on, in-person training with experts in the 5-MeO-DMT field at the Tandava Retreat Centre in Tepoztlan, Mexico.
The owner of this website, F.I.V.E, is providing educational training to educate, inform, and promote harm reduction. The educational training has not been evaluated by the FDA. 5-MeO-DMT should not be used to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or condition. F.I.V.E does not endorse or promote the use of 5-MeO-DMT and does not encourage or condone any illegal activities.
Our training mission
At F.I.V.E., we believe 5-MeO-DMT has the potential to change the world in a big way. In order for this to happen, proper education and awareness must be cultivated around this powerful compound. In offering full and complete training to facilitators, we are making it our mission to make a difference in the quality of experience participants receive.
The F.I.V.E. team has included in this training all of the most important facets of serving this powerful medicine. This training will cover everything from trauma, preparation, integration, serving skills, and more. We aim to prepare students to confidently serve this medicine within full integrity in countries where not legal.
During the program, students will have the rare opportunity to get in-person, hands-on experience in Mexico at an operational 5-MeO-DMT retreat center, both learning the necessary skills to serve this medicine but also applying them under the supervision of skilled practitioners.
Gathering wisdom from experts in the 5-MeO-DMT field, F.I.V.E. has put together a complete training course offering students a comprehensive guide into safely and effectively serving this compound. Included in this course will be both recorded video material and guest speakers, featuring many of the pioneers of 5-MeO-DMT as well as other relevant speakers in the space.
Facilitator Refinement Training
This course is specifically designed for already practicing facilitators of 5-MeO-DMT who would like to refine and expand their toolset.
As a result of 5-MeO-DMT becoming increasingly popular, more and more facilitators are popping up. Unfortunately, most facilitator trainings are shown to be incomplete in their teachings and, in addition, lack basic safety standards. These trainings are sending students out to serve without proper preparation and integration containers. As a large majority of students are being left without any real guidance or accountability, we are now seeing a large spike in unchecked egos, unethical practices and a lack of integrity. As a result, the repercussions have devastated the reputation of this beautiful medicine while leaving participants with further traumas, physical injuries, and even death.
Without any ancient wisdom tradition or culture passing on the knowledge of this medicine to its facilitators, there has been a massive teething process. While it has unfortunately been at the cost of many participants of this medicine, it is now time for the community to come together and set a standard of service to those who are seeking healing. This course has been specially designed to give already practicing facilitators the tools they need to serve this medicine at a gold standard. Facilitators will be equipped to offer safe and effective containers while upholding the utmost integrity in their offerings.
F.I.V.E. 3 Month Facilitator Refinement Training
Who is this training for?
Experience
Existing facilitators who are currently serving 5-MeO-DMT and would like to sharpen their skillsets, as well as facilitators who have done incomplete or shorter training courses that may not have armed them with the necessary skills to keep their participants safe.
Self-Work
Individuals who have done their own work on their paths before attempting to start serving others this powerful compound. Individuals must be willing to continue their personal growth, no matter where they are in their journey with this medicine.
Self-Inquiry
Individuals who already work with their own practice of self-inquiry on their path. A good understanding of ones own patterning is needed to step into this role.
Community
Individuals wishing to work in a community rather than aiming to make their service about them. Individuals must be open to and welcome support and accountability from their community.
Service-Oriented
Individuals focused on learning as much as possible to support participants in getting the most out of their experience. Individuals must understand that there is always room to grow as a student.
Teachers
We have found that individuals who are already in a teaching or leadership position of some sort are best suited for serving this medicine.
Important Note for Students:
This training is intensive and will require your full attention throughout the duration. Each week students will be receiving multiple core topics, videos, handouts, assignments, Live zoom calls, and more.

training structure
The F.I.V.E. Facilitator Refinement Training will take course over a 3 month period consisting of 12 weeks. . The first 11 weeks will all be done online, while the 12th week will be done onsite in Mexico. The online portions of the course will consist of weekly zoom calls with teachers as well as videos, handouts, homework and other resources and materials. The in person portion of the course will take place at the Tandava Retreat Center in Mexico to get real, hands on experience in the field.
We will only be accepting 20 students per year. This allows for student-facilitators to get the highest level of education through focused attention from the teachers. Each facilitator applying will first go through a thorough application process and then those selected will undergo a video conference call with the course facilitators to explore if the student is a good fit for the program. Once through the application process, student-facilitators will then receive everything needed to begin the journey of facilitation with their peers.
hands on training
F.I.V.E. has partnered with Tandava Retreats for the hands on portion of the training. Tandava is the worlds first 5-MeO-DMT retreat center offering a balanced blend of science and spirituality. When it comes to the 5-MeO-DMT experience, Tandava has created a world class name in the psychedelic space for safety, ethics and long lasting results among its participants.
Onsite in Mexico, students will spend 1 week exploring the depths of service, from shadowing experts in the field to holding ceremonies amongst their peers. At this time students will also have the rare opportunity to learn and share their newfound skills at an operational 5-MeO-DMT retreat centre. The in person practicum will end with an examination by experienced facilitators and end in a graduation ceremony.
Disclaimer: F.I.V.E does not support or condone the use of 5-MeO-DMT in countries where not legal.
