The sacred is already here: in the everyday moment, and in the very work that you do. Church of Our Earth’s Microdosing Minister Training is an eight-week course in mushroom religion, spirituality, and sacramental microdosing. It’s for anyone called to bring mushroom spirituality into their work. Students deepen their spiritual practice, study the science, and learn to walk beside others with reverence and care. The course covers microdosing and high-level microdosing.

Format: Live 2-hour virtual sessions with weekly mentor check-ins. Every Tuesday starting April 6 to May 25, 2027, 6-8 pm EST. 

What ordination opens up:

More and more people are curious about mushrooms and are looking for someone they can trust to talk with. As an ordained Microdosing Minister of Church Of Our Earth, you can answer that call. You’ll be able to:

• Guide Church Members in sacramental microdosing

• Speak openly with the people you serve about psilocybin, the mushroom and its place in our faith

• Lead retreats, circles and gatherings for Church Members

• Offer spiritual counsel and help people integrate what comes up

• Be listed as a minister of the Church and supported by a community of fellow ministers

Your ministry is its own sacred work, separate from your professional practice, and the two can live side by side. A doctor might keep their medical practice and offer spiritual ministry to Church Members on the side. A somatic practitioner might hold a weekly mushroom ceremony alongside their bodywork sessions. A yoga teacher might lead a sacramental retreat between classes. A therapist, a doula, a nurse, a coach or an artist can each build a ministry that sits beside the work they already do. We’ll help you shape a ministry that fits your life and calling.

If you’d like help with the practical side, we also offer optional business classes for ministers.

What the class is like:

This isn’t a course you watch alone. Each week you’ll gather live with people who are drawn to the same path. You’ll practice together, share what’s coming up in your journals, and learn from each other’s work. Your mentor checks in with you every week, so you’re never figuring this out by yourself. We built this course around community, because this work is meant to be shared. You’ll leave with ordination, and also with friends and colleagues who will keep walking beside you long after the course ends.

Here are some of the things we explore together:

• Church doctrine, the mushroom as Sacrament, and finding the sacred in the everyday

• The history and lineage of sacred mushroom use

• The science of psilocybin, from how it may work in the brain to current research

• Intention, integration, and daily spiritual practice

• Safety, screening, and knowing when to refer

• Building your own ministry

What ministry looks like:

Your ministry is its own sacred work, separate from your professional practice, and the two can live side by side. A therapist might keep her therapy practice and offer spiritual ministry to church members on the side. A yoga instructor can bring sacramental microdosing into the classes she already teaches. A retreat leader might add ceremony with the Mushroom to his retreats. An artist could open her studio for a creative microdosing circle where people gather in ceremony and make art together. A nurse can offer spiritual counsel and sacramental microdosing outside her shifts. A doctor, a doula, a coach or anyone else can each build a ministry that sits beside the work they already do. We’ll help you shape a ministry that fits your life and calling. If you’d like help with the practical side, we also offer optional business classes for Ministers.

This Is Religious and Spiritual Training

This course is religious and spiritual in nature, and we want you to know that before you sign up. You aren’t earning a certification or adding a technique to your toolbox. While you will learn the same skills, you are entering a religious tradition, learning its doctrine, taking up its practices and being ordained as clergy of Church Of Our Earth. If you’re looking for just a professional psychedelic certification, there are other programs out there that do that well. If you feel called to this as a spiritual path, we’d love to walk beside you.
