For the journeys you can’t process alone.
This is the professional circle.
A structured peer circle where you bring real situations, rotate through three roles: presenter, consultant, facilitator, and leave with more clarity than you arrived with.

You finished your training. You were ready, or ready enough.
And then you started doing the actual work.
The client who doesn’t land the way they’re supposed to. The session that surfaces something in you you weren’t expecting. The ethical question no training program prepared you for, because it isn’t a question with an answer. It’s a question you have to sit with.
With someone who understands what the room requires.
Most guides are doing this alone. Not because they want to. Because the psychedelic space doesn’t have a structure for what comes next.
“It can be a lonely world out there as we navigate our inner landscapes.”

“A component I found lacking within the psychedelic domain.”

Peer-led inquiry. Not supervision. Not advice.
In a PGN InnerEthics® Wisdom Circle, every member rotates through three structured roles: presenter, consultant, and facilitator. You bring a real situation: a case, a moment, a pattern you’ve been carrying. Your peers don’t solve it for you.
They inquire.
The goal of InnerEthics® is not to arrive at an answer. It’s to help the presenter see what they couldn’t see alone. The InnerEthics® model, developed by Kylea Taylor, is built on one premise: the most important ethical work is not behavioral compliance. It’s understanding your own internal motivation in the room.
The Presenter
Brings a real case. Not hypothetical. Not sanitized. What you’re carrying between sessions has a place here.
The Consultant
Asks questions designed to illuminate, not advise. Holds the compassionate inquiry structure. Emotionally attunes to the presenter.
“What was happening in you when that moment arrived?”
The Facilitator
Holds the container. Ensures the process. Rotates every session. The power is peer-distributed. There is no hierarchy here.
This is not a consultation group. It is not a Signal community. It is not a place where experienced guides give newer ones advice.
It is the container for the people who hold the container: where the work of being a guide gets examined with the rigor and care the work deserves.
You’ve probably tried the alternatives.
vs. Clinical supervision
Supervision is hierarchical. A licensed professional evaluates your work and tells you what to do differently. InnerEthics® Wisdom Circles are peer-led. Nobody here is above you. Nobody is assessing your competence. The inquiry comes from equals, and it goes deeper because of it.
vs. Consultation groups
Most consultation groups are unstructured. Good intentions, loose process. People share cases and offer reactions. InnerEthics® circles have a method. Every session has a structure. Every role has a function. You leave with more clarity than you arrived with, not just a sense that you talked it through.
vs. Online communities
Communities are passive. You post. You hope. You scroll. A Wisdom Circle is accountable. You show up. You present. You witness. You are witnessed. The container is built on commitment, not convenience.
The circle meets you exactly where you are.
For you if…
The Conscientious Transitioner
You came to this work from a clinical or structured professional background. You know how to hold space. And you have discovered that none of your training fully prepared you for what psychedelic facilitation asks of you.
“You spent years learning how to hold space for others. Who’s holding space for you as you navigate this transition?”
For you if…
The Isolated Integrative Guide
You’ve been doing this work for a while. You have lineage, experience, and real competence. What you don’t have is a peer group that meets you at that level, where you can bring the hard thing and trust that you’ll be met with genuine inquiry.
“You’ve been doing this work for years. You know what you’re doing. And you’ve been doing it completely alone.”

Not Sure Yet?
If you’re not sure whether InnerEthics® Wisdom Circles are right for where you are right now, the Ethical Readiness Assessment surfaces your profile in 5 minutes.
Take the Assessment“My professional background in psychotherapy has instilled in me the importance of peer supervision and support, a component I found lacking within the psychedelic domain. The opportunity to receive guidance and insight from fellow practitioners within a space characterized by authenticity and clarity is not only supportive and grounding but also facilitates personal and professional growth.”
Maria DimakosPsychotherapist & Psychedelic Practitioner
Wednesday Circle → Thursday Client Session
“I want to thank everyone who was on our call this Wednesday. It really helped me to make a shift with my client. We had the most honest and tender conversation to date around death, and what is ahead for her.”
Jean JohnsonPsychedelic Guide & PGN Member
“I feel so much more resourced, knowledgeable, and confident in my guiding, because of my connection with you all.”

Said During Her First Circle Session
“I feel like I’ve died and gone to heaven.”
Shira Etzion, LMFTPsychedelic Guide & PGN Member
“I’ve shared my satisfaction and the PGN link with other groups I belong to, I hope it’s resulted in another member or two, or at least some community awareness.”

The moment you sit down to answer it,
the work has already begun.
The InnerEthics® Wisdom Circle application asks one question. Not your credentials. Not your certifications. Not your years of experience.
It asks you to write your Ethical Biography: the defining moments in your practice that have shaped how you understand right relationship with clients. The places you’ve gotten it right. The places you’re still working through.
Most guides have never been asked this question before.
That is the point.
“I read every Ethical Biography personally. It’s how I understand where you are in your practice, and whether a circle is the right next step.”

Your application begins with your Ethical Biography
The Ethical Biography is a guided self-reflection, seven inquiries into your relationship with this work. It takes about 15 minutes, and it’s the first step toward a Wisdom Circle.
Begin Your Ethical BiographyYour first three months are fully included.
Enrollment

Includes full participation for your first three months.

$199/mo
When you know it’s right.
First Three Months Include

Ongoing Monthly ($199)

Note on course access: InnerEthics® CE courses (Ethics 101–103 and 106) are included in your Wisdom Circle membership. These recorded online trainings are part of your preparation for live circle work, not an add-on. CE credits are available for all recorded trainings and the live 3-hour Onboarding Training. Circle sessions are not yet CE-accredited. Ethics 104 and 105 are available separately on the PGN site and are not included with Wisdom Circle membership.
PGN does not offer sliding scale pricing. The enrollment reflects the seriousness of the container, and pre-qualifies the commitment it requires.
Begin Your Ethical BiographyLet me answer the ones I hear most.
“I’ve tried communities before. They were surface-level.”
I hear this one more than any other. And I understand it. Most communities in this space are passive, you post, people react, nothing changes.
InnerEthics® Wisdom Circles are structured by design. Every session has a method. You bring a real case. Your peers rotate through specific roles. The inquiry is guided, not casual. You don’t leave having talked about the work, you leave having actually done it.
If what you’ve experienced before was a Signal group or an open Zoom call, this is not that.
“I don’t know if my background fits.”
Our circles include therapists, ceremonialists, coaches, somatic practitioners, and integrators. The diversity is intentional, it’s how you learn to see around your own training’s blind spots.
The Ethical Biography tells both of us if the fit is right. That’s what it’s for.
“$799 is a lot.”
I’ll be direct: your last training certification probably ran $3,000–$10,000. This is what happens after training, the ongoing support that makes the training worth what you paid for it.
Your first three months are fully included in the $799 enrollment. You’ll know whether this is worth $199/month before you ever pay it.
“What if the circle doesn’t work for me?”
Your first three months are included in your enrollment. There’s no lock-in. No pressure. You’ll know if it’s right before your first renewal.
“I’m not experienced enough.”
Circles are calibrated for where you are. If you’re actively guiding, there’s a circle for your level of experience. The question isn’t how much experience you have, it’s your willingness to be honest about what the work is asking of you.
InnerEthics® is for active guides. Fieldcraft is for those building toward it.
The circle doesn’t rush you.
If you’ve read this far, you already know whether this is the kind of space you’ve been looking for.
The Ethical Biography asks you to arrive honestly. Not perfectly. Not with the right credentials or the right number of years. Just honestly.
“I’ll read what you write. And I’ll know if there’s a circle for where you are.”
