nepantla mentorship

Individually tailored, apprenticeship-model

Those who are called to serve as nepantlerxs, intermediary guides who walk between worlds and serve as bridges between states of consciousness, traditionally prepare for this work through a lifetime of commitment to a way of life. They may have one or many teachers on the journey, who provide personalized mentorship.

In contrast, contemporary facilitator training in the so-called “psychedelic renaissance” is fast-paced, brief, and one-size-fits-all. Such trainings can provide fundamental building blocks, but are no substitute for ongoing, apprenticeship-style practice and support.

If you are called to deepen your facilitation work through one-on-one mentorship, experiential intensives, teachings from lineage carriers, a community of practice and peer support, please join us for the upcoming Threshold Medicine Practice Cycle.

The program consists of three independent 3-month Cycles over a nine-month period. Each 3-month Cycle is distinct and builds on the previous. The themes of each cycle are grounded in decolonial praxis through engaged relationship with seasonal themes and embedded with teachings that correspond to working with liminal states and spaces.

The Threshold Medicine Nepantla Mentorship consists of:

  • Biweekly one-on-one sessions for tailored consultation, spiritual care resources, technical guidance and feedback, and supportive reflection

  • Optional in-person intensives, co-created to meet the needs of the practitioner (i.e. facilitated experiential as participant, co-facilitator, and/or assistant)

  • Community of practice peer support container

  • Small group learning and consultation with lineage carriers

  • Resource library

Mentorship is most suitable for those who already have experience working with clients, providing care work, accompanying people in vulnerable or non-ordinary states, and/or experience with ceremonial practices. The orientation of our work together is abolitionist, rooted in healing justice and harm reduction, and process independent from the medical industrial complex and state regulatory models.

Program Logistics

  • One-on-one sessions are scheduled biweekly, twice per month, at a time that is mutually convenient for us. These take place over zoom.

  • Each three month cycle within the larger nine month cycle operates independently and builds upon the last. A minimum three month commitment is required to participate, with continuing optional.

  • Experiential learning is optional and will be offered to best meet the needs of the practitioner. Opportunities will be made available to learn hands-on through experience, observation, and direct facilitation in group and individual contexts.

  • Travel arrangements and costs are the responsibility of the participant, with logistical oversight and coordination through the mentorship. We recognize that in these times of shifting global circumstances, we all need to remain adaptable to the unexpected as it pertains to travel.

  • This mentorship structure operates outside of state regulatory models and does not qualify toward certification.

testimonials from former mentees and mentors:

  • "My time with Diana was incredibly potent. I believe that all of the experiences we collect in our life prepare us to meet folks and opportunities in the right moments and you can tell that this is true for her. Diana is relatable, constructive, thoughtful, and always finds a way to create resonance. I felt comfortable bringing my full self to our sessions and I was comforted by her ability to hold it all with me even when things felt incredibly fragile or complex. Incredibly grateful for the time we got to spend together!

    -- Former Mentee

  • "(Diana is) a natural spiritual caregiver… (her) commitment to radically compassionate care and dedication to supporting those in community, outside of institutions, as they come home to themselves and get free is an uncommon and very necessary gift to the world. "

    -- AC, Clinical Pastoral Education Mentor

  • "I have been so grateful for our time together. It has been extremely valuable for me both personally and professionally. It has helped refill my cup."
