JP is a state-licensed psilocybin facilitator. He trained with InnerTrek, which provides a comprehensive six-month program, including 120 hours of core training and 40 hours of supervised practicum training.
He comes to this work with a deep trust in the non-directive approach to psychedelic therapy, developed over many years working with non-ordinary states of consciousness. His facilitation technique is rooted in a long-term meditation practice and informed by the latest scientific research. He provides a grounded presence and a non-judgmental space, so people can fully relax and get the most out of their psilocybin journey.
Originally from South Africa, JP now lives in Bend with his partner and dog. He has a longstanding career in environmental sustainability, with a BA Hons in Philosophy and an MPhil in Environmental Science. JP has personally benefited from working with psychedelics. While it is no panacea, it has helped him grieve when needed, cry when he was unable to, love more deeply and laugh more freely. He cherishes simple daily routines of exercise and walks in nature. He also loves cooking delicious food with friends and family.
