Abstract

<p>There is a need to provide training in spiritually, existentially, religiously, and theologically (SERT) responsive psychedelic care. We developed a brief training workshop entitled "Tending the Spiritual", focused on SERT-responsive care for psychedelics, which would be consistent with a continuing education model. This supplementary training format was identified as an optimal approach in formative research. This manuscript presents a program evaluation and lessons learned from the development and execution of the “Tending the Spiritual” workshops, and provides an account of the workshops’ creation, implementation, and evaluation by the faculty who developed and conducted it. The workshops demonstrated acceptability and feasibility, and were well-received by attendees from two different contexts of psychedelic care practice. They were deemed suitable for further scaling and adaptation to a variety of pedagogical contexts.</p>
