Brent Maxinoski
Psychedelic Practitioner & Educator
Brent has been on an intentional psychedelic path for over 20 years and it’s shaped every facet of his existence. This journey and the profound positive impact it has had on his life lead him to develop a framework for working with psychedelics which he calls Psychedelics as a Practice, and later to found Jornada, a Colorado-based organization dedicated to assisting the modern West with the healthy adoption of intentional psychedelic practices and modalities through public education, facilitated group spiritual psychedelic ceremonies, and comprehensive private therapeutically-inclined psychedelic sessions and services.
His almost lifelong calling has included guiding and educating individuals and small-to-medium-sized groups through the profoundly transformative terrain of intentional psychedelic practice.
Drawing from a wellspring of education and experience, Brent’s approach to psychedelic facilitation underscores the importance of in-depth preparation and integration, intention setting, deepening one's understanding of substances and process, and crafting a mindset and physical setting to support an optimal outcome with lasting tangible results.
Aside from his many years of self education, apprenticeship and facilitation experience, he has professional training from the Oregon Psilocybin Facilitator licensure training program “Myco-Method”, a secondary degree in psychology, and a bachelor’s degree in business.
Erin Witter
Psychedelic Coach & Breathwork Practitioner
Erin Witter has been serving the community as a Psycho-Spiritual Integration and Transformational Recovery coach since 2022. His focus is helping people to kindly look inward for answers to life’s challenges.
Integration of Psyche and Spirit is one of Erin’s passions because as humans it serves us best when we can discover and find balance with these parts of ourselves, rather than relying too heavily on one or the other.
Processes of personal Transformational Recovery are another focus of Erin’s, because he's learned from personal experience that transforming challenging experiences with the help of our hearts and bodies is how we grow more resilient.
Erin has been on an inward journey since he was very young. Throughout life he has learned about himself and the world through travel, meditation, connecting with nature, writing, and his own psychedelic and transformational work. As a result of these experiences, Erin gave up his corporate career and followed his heart’s true calling, which is to help others who seek to explore the universe through carefully-curated mind-expanding experiences.
Erin is certified in integrative psychedelic practices, serves clients as a transformational recovery coach, and is an active trip-sitter in the Colorado Front Range and beyond.
