6 Week Microdosing Immersive Program
Where ancient wisdom meets modern science to help you expand and nourish your mind, body, emotions, and spirit
Microdosing Institute is proud to collaborate with:
To catalyze lasting change from within,
there's no practice like microdosing.
Microdosing, the practice of semi-regularly engaging with a tiny amount of a psychedelic substance, is more than a trend - it’s a powerful practice for deepening self-awareness and reconnecting to others and to the natural world.
When used with intention and supporting practices and guidance, microdosing can help you disrupt unhealthy patterns, integrate new learnings about yourself and your environment, and achieve life long personal growth.
We will help you identify a powerful intention for microdosing and give you the tools, knowledge, and support needed to make it your reality.
Multidimensional Benefits
Experience microdosing's potential across the four dimensions of being – physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual – to facilitate life long personal growth and well-being.
Honoring Ancestral Wisdom
Engage with earth medicines while honoring centuries-old traditions, fostering a deepened connection to your ancestors and the earth.
Transformation at the Core
Compassionate and trauma-informed facilitation alongside microdosing can support the shedding of old conditioning and transformation of limiting beliefs.
If you're ready to transform your life with microdosing...
Join The Microdosing Immersive Program
A holistic online microdosing program, crafted to guide you on your individual journey towards greater health and well-being.
This program is built on the groundbreaking work from pioneering microdosing researcher, psychologist and author James Fadiman, PhD, and eight years of wisdom and experiences from our invaluable community.
Modern science offers a grounded, data-informed approach that we passionately teach our students. But participants are also encouraged to look at this practice through an ancestral lens. Microdosing can be a unique opportunity to embrace the indigenous mindset, which centers around the interconnectedness of all things and our personal and collective relationship with all elements of nature, including sacred earth medicines.
This unique program is facilitated by both Indigenous and western facilitators, and allows you to fully harness the potential of microdosing through community, personalized support and powerful integration tools.

Weekly breakdown of your experience :
The program begins by building a foundation of microdosing knowledge through self-guided videos. Students will also be supported in defining a powerful and impactful intention to serve them throughout the program.
- Introduction to the practice of microdosing: benefits, risks, dosing, calibration, tracking your experience
- Your intention as a starting point: How to understand it, set it, measure it and achieve it; Uncover the intention inside of your intention
- Mindful consumption: understand the external substances, energies and situations that may affect your (mental, physical, emotional) energy levels
You will begin working with another student in the program, your partner-guide, to help each other more deeply reflect on your journeys. You will also delve into building a relationship with your microdose as ancestral medicine and understand the role of Earth and Spirit in this practice.
- Introduction to the an ancestral worldview and Indigenous perspective on the practice of microdosing
- The 4 dimensions in which the effects of microdosing manifest themselves: Physical, Emotional, Cognitive and Spiritual
- Begin your calibration week to find your optimal dose or “sweet spot”
- Receive and offer peer support
You will continue your microdosing calibration period over this week. You will learn how to approach calibration and tracking, and establish a controlled and safe experience for yourself. You will be sharing your observations from this experience with the group, your partner-guide and your coach.
- Using the journal as your main tool to document your observations and monitor your progress
- Calibration week: Navigating beneficial and challenging effects, finding your ideal dose(s), and developing a personal relationship with your ‘medicine’.

- The learning process: How a microdosing process can unlock hard-to-reach self-learning spaces

- Group explorations: in our group container we continue to work with themes like self-love, interconnectedness, embodiment, play, surrender, community, giving & receiving, reverence for the sacred
How has microdosing lead to changes in your thinking, doing and believing? You will bring the sum of all your discoveries, insights and actions into your day-to-day life. You will develop this integrative work in community, with a particular focus on how to achieve results that are sustainable over time.

From our participants:
I loved it! I loved to feel how close we are, how supported and share all our beautiful processes. I was able to understand and accept what I needed to let go, also move ahead listening to myself on a deeper level that provides wellbeing.
My intention to heal has been accomplished for now, which has enabled me to formulate a new intention for going deeper into the process. I feel also subtly transformed in a pleasant way. All in all, this program has exceeded my expectations for what I can achieve.
The arc of the program worked well and guided us through our experiences. It was very clear from everyone’s sharing that we had all been through a profound process together that touched each of us deeply.

Having microdosed often before the last 7 years I can say that the monitoring, group communication and journaling has a much higher impact than just using it intuitively or even with a strict protocol. I was skeptical of the calibration process, but it did make a significant difference.
Program Details:
Individuals 18 years or older, based in the Netherlands or elsewhere with legal access to truffles or mushrooms containing psilocybin are welcome to participate. All individuals are required to participate in a medical screening and intake – participation in this course is contingent on meeting medicine requirements for safely microdosing.
Additionally, to participate, you (1) wish to experience a guided microdosing journey, (2) are willing to provide peer-support to another participant during the program
You will receive educational video content that is essential for the preparation and integration of your microdosing process. Up to 6 hours of self-study is required in total.
Once a week you will have a live group Workshop & Sharing Circle with our team and the other participants to share and integrate what you have learned and experienced.
6 sessions of up to 2.5 hours on Saturdays.
Outside of the classes and live sessions, you will have an assigned coach to help you get the most out of your experience. You will also be assigned a partner-guide that will support you and you will offer support to. You will be assigned exercises and activities for self-reflection, analysis and practical work.
Approx. 12 hours in total (2.5 hours weekly during 6 weeks)
1) You receive biweekly 1:1 coaching from the team
2) You receive weekly peer-to-peer guidance from your assigned program partner
3) You offer peer-to-peer guidance to your assigned partner
Microdosing often opens up spaces of vulnerability and deep learning. Should you require specialized support and containment beyond the offerings of this program, we provide additional coaching with our facilitation team, and if needed, referral to a specialized therapist (at own cost).
Approx. 42 hours over the course of 6 weeks.
We understand that sometimes life creates unforeseen circumstances. Should you have to cancel your attendance, we support you in the following ways:
Up to 10 days before the program starts: Refund – 10% (after VAT) processing fees, or transfer your attendance to a future program at no cost* (or discount equivalent to the paid amount)
In final 10 days before the program starts: Transfer to a future program free of charge* (or discount equivalent to the paid amount); or 50% refund (after VAT).
Cancelation during the program: No refund
While personal experience with microdosing is beneficial for coaching others, completion of this program does not provide adequate information for safely and effectively coaching others.
Those who are interested in working with microdosing in a broader capacity will be eligible to apply for our Microdosing Facilitators Program – a more in-depth education created to support those working with microdosing professionally.
This course contains the information and support I wish we had when we started Microdosing Institute. As the science and personal practice continue to evolve, we have refined what works into a flexible formula that can effectively support personal growth.

Effective microdosing protocols start with a plan.
Download the Microdosing Coach's Framework to see how microdosing can be integrated into an existing protocol.
The thing is, microdosing for transformation is less than straight forward...
Psilocybin or LSD? Raise or lower the dosage? Adjust for body weight? Stamets or Fadiman protocol? There’s a lot to think about when setting up a microdosing protocol.
It truly takes a skilled person to navigate safety, dosage, and frequency, and thoughtfully integrate the theory into the practice.
Psychedelics microdoses are “non-specific amplifiers” - so clear guidance is essential for seeing results.
Microdosing has the power to change lives, but only when used within a structured container of personal growth, facilitated by an expert, can the results can be extraordinary.
That’s where you come in.
