SOMATIC PLANT MEDICINE INTEGRATION PRACTITIONER 50-HOUR TRAINING (SPMI) with Atira Tan

10-Week Program: May 10th - July 12th 2025

Virtual & Live Online | Self-Paced Option Available

Plant medicine ceremonies are sacred spaces for profound healing and transformation. But the real magic unfolds in the days, weeks, and months after the ceremony—during the integration process, where insights are transformed into lasting, embodied change.

Without the right tools and support, integration can become a source of confusion, re-traumatization, or stagnation. Participants may struggle to bridge their ceremonial experiences with everyday life. Sadly, this crucial phase of plant medicine work is often overlooked, leaving individuals feeling unsupported and disconnected.

The Somatic Plant Medicine Integration Model fills this much-needed and overlooked gap. 

Over 10 weeks, this comprehensive program offers the tools, knowledge, and trauma-informed approach you need to guide others—and yourself—through the powerful process of somatic integration, creating a pathway for profound, sustained transformation.

What Makes This Program Unique?

The Somatic Plant Medicine Integration Practitioner Program (SPMI) blends somatic psychology, trauma-informed care, and plant medicine wisdom into a cohesive, practical model. Designed for integration practitioners, facilitators, and plant medicine coaches, this program empowers you to guide others with skill, compassion, and a deep understanding of the integration journey.

Led by Atira Tan—a #1 bestselling author, somatic trauma specialist, and TEDx speaker—this program will deepen your knowledge and practice, helping you support meaningful, embodied healing for yourself and your clients.

Why Trauma-Informed Integration Matters

In the integration phase, participants’ insights from plant medicine ceremonies are turned into embodied, sustainable change. This requires a trauma-informed approach that ensures safety, care, and support as participants navigate the challenges of processing past trauma, emotional imprints, and transformational growth.

The Somatic Plant Medicine Integration Model prioritizes:

• Safety, so participants feel held and supported
• Somatic awareness, connecting the body and mind for deep healing
• Embodiment, turning insights into actionable, life-changing practices

This is integration at its most profound—a practice that transforms ceremonial experiences into real, lasting change.

Testimonials: 

"Wow!! Thank you so much Atira!!!!! I just want to say thank you for holding space for such an incredible informational experience in this Trauma-Informed Plant Medicine Workshop. I feel that I have SO many resources now to draw upon now. 

You are filled with experience and hold such beautiful. vibrant energy that is powerful, but also open and level with the people you work within such a way that it is easy to feel safe, and seen in your presence! True magic!"

– Molly Moon
Grandmother Facilitator, Isreal.

"This TIPM workshop’s deep dive into the realms of living impeccable service was nothing short of life-changing.

I remembered so much about the nervous system, about my life, about my purpose, about the bridges between paradigms, and the collective trauma on the Earth. I was deeply warmed, inspired, challenged, and excited by the entire experience.

Atira transmits genuine, care, curiosity, understanding, and expertise. She is devoted to providing safe spaces for people to heal and her life’s work is testimony to her wisdom and character.

If you’re curious to learn about the nature of trauma and how to access and support its healing potential, this body of work is well worth opening your heart and mind to."

– Melanie Gunn
Naturopath and Transpersonal Art Therapist, Australia

"I’m super grateful for this unique program. Atira’s extensive knowledge on the subject of trauma and working within the PM context has been immensely beneficial. I’ve gained a deeper sense of how to hold the container of healing, which in turn, opens doors for journeyers to be met with more compassion, understanding, and safety to move through their process.

This program is essential for anyone supporting or facilitating PM ceremonies and the process of preparation and integration."

– Simone McKay
Somah Journeys Founder, Canada

"I just came out of the 1st Trauma-informed Plant Medicine Facilitation online training with Atira Tan from Aya Healing Retreats and wow!!

I cannot recommend this training enough for anyone working in the PM space – whether you are pouring medicine, a supporter/facilitator, a pre or post-ceremonial integration specialist, or even a student of the plants.

In fact, I feel that this should be a basic foundational training (alongside 1st Aid) for all healers and support staff.

As the medicine continues to gain momentum in its spread across the globe- we are beginning to see and hear more and more stories of harm from its unskilful use, the lack of quality screening and preparation beforehand, the lack of integration support afterward, and/or the limited understanding of trauma activation and re-traumatization during retreats and ceremonies.

I feel that, in addition to traditional training, this community would benefit hugely from having facilitators and spaces rooted in a basic understanding of the nervous system and how to work skillfully with trauma survivors (and of course, how to work with our own trauma when it shows up in these spaces).

I personally feel that Atira is an excellent bridge and guide into the intersectional realms of plant medicine and trauma therapy."

– Skye Cielita Flor
Wilderness Therapist, South Africa

"My mind and heart are in deep amazement and gratitude as I apply all that I learned in the Trauma-Informed Plant Medicine workshop. 

Now more than ever, the world is in need of people who have the ability to listen and hold open space, as the entire human population is currently undergoing a traumatic event. This course is filled with gems of how to meet and support those who are intensely impacted by trauma at any stage of life. I highly recommend this course/workshop, not only to those who are interested in the relationship between trauma and plant medicine but anyone who is curious about understanding human relational patterns to self and society.

Atira shares in-depth knowledge and expertise of trauma studies while offering takeaways that are applicable for ceremonies, friendships, and even for common conversations during the COVID time. Atira and Elio’s work is much needed in the world.

– Betty Gottwald
Photographer & Kambo Facilitator, USA.

"If you are ready to engage in serious trauma healing work, Atira is the practitioner to go for. Her own genuine humanness consistently lived and embodied, and her outstandingly compassionate nature creates a strong and safe therapeutic container that cannot be surpassed. 

After a search for decades for the right trauma therapist, all thumbs up for her, as the healing and transformation, I’ve been looking for has finally become real!"

– Jessica Bertram
