Merion Institute professionalizes emerging and underserved areas of coaching practice — beginning with psychedelic integration coaching — by building on standards the field already trusts, rather than inventing new ones.
Focused, advanced specializations for already-credentialed coaches working at the edges of established practice. ICPIC is its first program.

Merion Institute is being built as a licensable educational system. Every role currently performed personally — admissions interviews, assessment, faculty approval, complaint review — is intended, over time, to become a documented, transferable procedure rather than an informal judgment call.
That distinction is what separates an institute from a personal brand with an umbrella name attached to it. It is also what eventually makes a division licensable: a partner organization can be held to a written standard, not to a comparison against any one practitioner.
The institute does not claim to have invented new standards for coaching. Each division builds on frameworks the profession already recognizes — principally the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC) — and extends them into territory those frameworks don't yet cover in detail.
Assessment, admissions, and faculty approval are institutional functions — exercised under a written standard — not personal judgments that happen to currently be made by one person.
Each division will eventually operate under the same governance model — written competencies, an independent assessment function, and faculty standards a successor could be measured against.
The foundational layer: ICF-accredited coach training at Level 1 and Level 2, pursued in parallel with the EMCC EQA pathway. This division will train coaches generally, before any specialization — the population the Specialization and Licensing Divisions eventually draw from. It is not yet open. Curriculum design, the learning-objectives matrix, and a verification-of-learning framework are in progress.
Advanced specializations for coaches who already hold an active credential. ICPIC — the Institute for Certified Psychedelic Integration Coaching — is the flagship and, currently, the only live program in this division, now admitting its founding cohort. Further specializations (business coaching, team coaching) are planned once the ICPIC model is validated through a full cohort cycle.
Visit ICPIC at icpic.chWhere Merion Institute's standards extend beyond direct delivery: a train-the-trainer system, quality-assurance review, and a licensing structure that lets approved partner organizations deliver Merion-standard programs under their own roof. This division depends on the Competency Frameworks and Faculty Standards developed inside the Specialization Division first — it does not yet accept trainers or partners.
Every Merion Institute division is governed by written, numbered policy — not informal practice. The documents below exist today as internal governance instruments for the Specialization Division; reference numbers are public, contents are not.
The credentials above are not the product. They are the floor any future faculty member, trainer, or licensee will eventually be measured against.
Márton founded Merion Institute after seventeen years of executive coaching practice and supervision training made clear that several adjacent fields — psychedelic integration chief among them — had real demand for rigorous coaching formation, and no institution offering it at the standard the work requires.
His role inside the institute is deliberately structured to separate from his role as a practitioner: Founder & Director functions (policy, faculty approval, escalation review) are written as a position, not as an extension of his personal coaching practice. Today he also holds the Instructor and Assessor roles for ICPIC's first cohort by necessity — the Assessment Manual already treats those as distinct roles, anticipating the day a second faculty member is appointed.
Márton's individual coaching practice operates separately under the ManyAI Method brand.
Most visitors are looking for a program. Some are evaluating Merion Institute itself — as a future accreditation partner, licensee, or institutional stakeholder. Both belong here; they need different next steps.
Merion Institute's only currently enrolling program is ICPIC, the Institute for Certified Psychedelic Integration Coaching, run by the Specialization Division. Program details, admissions criteria, and applications live on ICPIC's own site.
