Watch Gabor sharing his thoughts with Kiyumi on how the questions we ask can
sometimes be more important than the answers we get.
Our
Collaborations
Collaboration is at the heart of what we do. We’ve had the privilege of working with pioneering organisations, researchers, and creatives who share our vision – including respected voices like Dr. Gabor Maté. We recognise the responsibility that comes with participating in and shaping the evolving psychedelic field, and we remain committed to ongoing dialogue, shared knowledge, and collective stewardship.
As we continue to grow an international community rooted in thoughtful exploration, we welcome collaborations that resonate with our values.
If you’re interested in working together, we’d love to connect and explore what we might co-create.
Vital Training with
Psychedelics Today
Our collaboration with Psychedelics Today occured as part of the Vital Training Retreat. We led an immersive retreat designed for therapists, coaches, and leaders in the psychedelic space, offering hands-on training in space-holding through supervised psilocybin-assisted sessions, mentorship, and guided practice. Blending somatic work, sound, and creative integration, it provided a deep, supportive environment for self-inquiry, healing, and skill development.
Connected Leadership for a Regenerative Future
This pioneering program brought together executive leaders to explore the role of psychedelics in leadership development. It combined transformational coaching with psilocybin-assisted retreats, providing participants with immersive experiences that expanded their leadership capacities and inspired new ways of thinking. The retreats also served as the foundation for a University of Maryland research study, with preliminary findings expected to be published within the coming year.
Collaboration with
Dr. Gabor Maté
Dr. Gabor Maté’s collaboration has deeply influenced Kiyumí’s trauma-informed, psychedelic-assisted approach. As part of our Psychedelics & Compassionate Inquiry Experiential Program, he guided group sessions over a six-month period, offering live demonstrations of his Compassionate Inquiry method with participants. This gave those in the program a rare opportunity to engage with their own process while exploring how psychedelic experiences can be integrated through a compassionate, relational lens.
Collaboration with Dr. Rosalind Watts
Dr. Rosalind Watts, former clinical lead on the Psilocybin for Depression trial at Imperial College London, has played a supportive role in shaping Kiyumí’s approach to preparation and integration. Over the past years, she has contributed to our programs by leading group sessions and providing guidance and resources to participants before and after their journeys – having helped participants engage with their experiences in a way that fosters meaning and continuity beyond the retreat space.
We are incredibly grateful for her contributions to Kiyumí and great influence in the psychedelic field.
Collaborations with Leading Voices
We have the ongoing privilege of collaborating with inspiring thinkers and practitioners such as Camille Barton, Dr. Leor Roseman, Julian Vayne, Gabriel Amezcua, and Dr. Galia Tanay—each of whom has brought depth, nuance, and care to the evolution of our work at Kiyumí.
Camille Barton supports us in integrating embodied social justice and somatic awareness, helping us hold space with greater sensitivity to systemic harm. Dr. Leor Roseman contributes through his research on psychedelics, identity, and collective trauma, opening new pathways for relational and ancestral healing. Julian Vayne brings a wealth of experience in ceremonial and esoteric traditions, supporting our approach to altered states with reverence and grounded wisdom. Gabriel Amezcua offers deep knowledge rooted in anthropology, advocacy, and somatic therapy inviting us into respectful relationship with psychedelic medicines. Dr. Galia Tanay weaves trauma studies, ecology, and contemplative practice, reminding us that healing is inseparable from our connection to each other and the Earth.
Their contributions continue to shape our work in essential, generative ways.
