Who we are
The Equinox Collective team have been on a transformational journey together. We understand the importance of a strong container; that when we strive for safety and security, when using the power of psychedelic medicines combined with therapeutic support, profound personal change is possible.
All of our team are highly skilled health professionals and are graduates of the Diploma in Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy - Depth Relational Process, with the Institute of Psychedelic Therapy. Throughout this two year training, we connected at a powerfully deep level, and since graduating we have continued to work together to bring you these offerings.
