Founder & CEO, Kaivalya Kollectiv & Tandava Retreats; Co-Founder, F.I.V.E.
Joël Brierre has a strong background in the Yogic traditions and has been teaching these practices for nearly two decades. His unique approach of applying classical non-dual yogic philosophy for both the preparation and integration of the 5-MeO-DMT experience, and from the entheogenic experience is deeply relevant to navigating these states of consciousness and the landscape of psychedelic use. Joel is the founder & CEO of Tandava Retreats as well as CEO and Co-founder of F.I.V.E. (5-MeO-DMT Information and Vital Education). Joel integrates the history of 5-MeO-DMT and modern integrative practices into every aspect of the retreat experience.

As psychedelics become increasingly integrated into the medical mainstream, practitioners across various fields may be eager to learn how to engage with this emerging area of treatment. At a fundamental level, clinicians can begin by educating themselves about psychedelics and sharing their insights with patients. However, once they discover the effectiveness and transformative potential of psychedelic therapies, many seek to become more actively involved.
For instance, we frequently receive inquiries in our forums from members asking about the best pathways to become psychedelic-assisted therapists or facilitators. Additionally, there is significant interest in which training programs are most beneficial.
To address these questions, we will be dedicating some of our upcoming monthly webinars to explore training programs and other relevant topics for those looking to deepen their involvement in psychedelic therapies.
