History

Chiron Academy was founded by Melania Eliza Lumezanu and Bradley Foster in 2020. They have designed and facilitated Trauma-Informed Preparation and Integration Training in Psychedelic Therapy, alongside with facilitating other harm reduction and educational workshops, and mentoring programs for mental health professionals and others in the healing field, both in British Columbia and Ontario. After embarking on different paths in August 2021, Bradley created the Phoenix Academy, which can be found at Phoenix Academy.

Another pivotal milestone in Chiron Academy’s journey came in 2022, involving the collaborative efforts of Melania and Len Benoit, Fit 1. Their work has been instrumental in fostering community engagement and adding a sense of magic to many individuals’ lives. Their focus on community building and transformative experiences has greatly enriched the academy’s impact and reach.
