5-MeO-DMT Facilitation Training Q&A

With Joel Brierre & Victoria Wueschner

FIVE co-founders Joel Brierre and Victoria Wueschner answer the community’s questions on ethical 5-MeO-DMT facilitation, training and readiness.

What you'll learn

  • Why it matters to check your "why" before stepping into a facilitator role, and the "beginner's impulse" to serve too soon
  • What a facilitator training can teach, and the skill sets (like psychotherapy or IFS) it cannot replace
  • Why mentors and community accountability are essential for seeing your blind spots
  • Whether facilitating Bufo alvarius and synthetic 5-MeO-DMT differs, and the ethical case for synthetic
  • Why licensed clinicians still need personal experience, and the unlearning many therapeutic paradigms require
  • The risks of serving with vape pens without full-release experience, and why short trainings fall short
  • Managing participants' expectations rather than chasing a particular "deep" experience
