Join the Mission

Heroic Hearts Project

The Heroic Hearts Project exists to help veterans and their loved ones heal from the impacts of military trauma by providing and expanding access to effective, life-saving psychedelic care. Our training focuses on our established process, which addresses the urgent needs of the veteran community while driving long-term change to make this care more widely available. 

Join Us in the Fight to End PTSD

PTSD has killed more soldiers by suicide in the U.S. than were killed in war since 9/11, and even more sobering, fewer than 10% of veterans who begin traditional PTSD treatment programs complete treatment and experience marked improvement. Many veterans try everything — from doctors to therapists and nothing works. Veterans and their families feel helpless, alone, and out of options.

Our training programs change that.

When veterans run out of options, Heroic Hearts steps in with a path forward.

We help veterans and their loved ones access legal, safe, and effective psychedelic programs designed to reduce suffering, restore connection, and rebuild lives. You’re stepping into a community built by veterans, for veterans, and grounded in hope.

Transforming Hope into Healing

Psychedelic Programs for Veterans

Heroic Hearts Project helps veterans and their families access safe, structured, and evidence-supported psychedelic programs using a proven process designed for the realities of military trauma. When community-based psychedelic healing is paired with intentional preparation, skilled facilitation, and thoughtful integration, it supports veterans in working through the impacts of military trauma while also building the internal capacity needed to navigate life’s ongoing challenges with greater steadiness and agency.

80% of veterans experience significant improvement after participating in just one psychedelic program.

They are able to connect with their families in ways that they couldn't before.

Our approach

The Heroic Hearts Process

Self-care and Resilience 

The Heroic Hearts Process recognizes that ethical psychedelic practitioners are deeply committed to their own personal work. Our model centers on helping aspiring coaches and facilitators develop emotional steadiness, healthy boundaries, and practices that allow them to support clients from a grounded and stable place. 

Understanding Military Identity

Veterans carry unique psychological and cultural experiences that shape their healing needs. The Heroic Hearts Process honors military identity, service, and trauma exposure, creating supportive and trauma-informed environments where veterans feel understood, respected, and safe to open up.

Preparation & Integration

The healing process begins long before a psychedelic session and continues long after it ends. This training builds the competencies required to support care before and after the experience. It emphasizes structured preparation that builds trust, clarity, and the internal orientation needed for lasting progress, along with integration practices that help translate insight into real-world application. 

Community Healing

The Heroic Hearts Process is rooted in connection and collective healing. Practitioners are trained to support both individual and group work across preparation, the experience itself, and integration. This approach recognizes that healing happens through personal reflection and in relationship with others, allowing veterans to learn from their own process while being supported by the presence of the group.

The Path to Licensure

As psychedelic programs expand, so does the need for ethical, trauma-informed, veteran-focused practitioners. The Heroic Hearts Process Coach and Facilitator Training is a progressive program that begins with Integration Coach certification and continues into Facilitator training for those interested in pursuing licensure in the US.

The coach training is a required foundation for the facilitator pathway, ensuring that all facilitators are grounded in self-work, coaching foundations, preparation, and integration before conducting psychedelic experiences. For those continuing on, the facilitator training meets and exceeds Oregon Health Authority (OHA) educational requirements for psilocybin facilitator licensure and emphasizes ethical practice and veteran-centered care. The full facilitator pathway includes 90+ hours of didactic learning, 50+ hours of live online classes, and a 40-hour in-person practicum.
Testimonials

Voices from Our Community

The doctors told me I would never walk again or use my arms. Even after regaining these abilities, I wasn’t ok. Paranoia and hyper-vigilance made my life a nightmare. Just washing the dishes was overwhelming. Now, I am starting to thrive versus simply surviving. 
Kegan Gill
U.S. Air Force Veteran
For years I medicated my own depression and trauma with alcohol, benzodiazepines and antidepressants until I finally reached a place where I could not go on. My journey with psychedelic therapy and the work I continue to do very literally saved my life, my marriage and my children’s lives.

After I returned from Iraq I left the military and joined the civilian world. I was traumatized, as it is hard to forget seeing true pain and death... My life is so different now, I get to live a life that is happy, joyous and free.
— Paula Cajiao

I am honored to work for Heroic Hearts Project, to be in service to veterans, to pass on the knowledge and experience that I have learned over the past 15 years working with these plants in their ancestral homes with the indigenous elders, to be a witness to the healing that happens time and time again.
