“It would be my honor to prepare and support you through your own psilocybin journey of growth, healing, and self-discovery. The phrase “psilocybin assisted therapy” gets used a lot for these services, but that only implies the self (you the client). The aim of these sessions is to connect you with your own inner healing, truth, and insight. It is this experiential nature of the practice that provides significant lasting outcomes for clients. I will work with you to give you the tools you need to gain as much from your experience as possible.”

“I believe that all our feelings are sacred and important. Listening to these feelings, honoring them, and learning how to process them is an important key to unlocking our full potential while repressed and unprocessed feelings manifest as mental and physical health problems.  I help you interpret the lessons your journey has taught you and how to use these lessons to become a more authentic version of yourself.”

MD and psilocybin facilitator with decades of psychedelic experience and clinical care, trained with SubtleWinds and now teaching Neuroscience and Pharmacology. At Vital Reset in Oregon, he provides safe psilocybin treatment and supports clients from all backgrounds through trauma-informed, medically grounded care.

I completed my facilitator training with SubtleWinds Cohort #1 and serve as lead instructor for their Neuroscience & Pharmacology modules. My relationship with the psychedelic movement began in the late 1960s. Over the decades, these experiences have “made me who I am today”.

I received an MD degree in 1983 and spent twenty years practicing general & trauma surgery and six years as an emergency physician. I assisted patients from all walks of life and countries. My preference is to remain a generalist as a facilitator and therefore serve all clients regardless of demographic background.

My work in harm reduction at festivals and mass gatherings has exposed me to the range of adverse outcomes from the unregulated use of psychedelics. I have supported the goals of Measure #109 since its inception. The opportunity to participate in the Oregon “experiment” with facilitated psilocybin journeys is both thrilling and humbling.

The client and the medicine do the necessary work. I feel the role of facilitator is to provide a safe container for the client’s journey. Music, color, breath & movement all offer deeper journeys. The importance of proper preparation prior and nonjudgemental integration following a session cannot be overstated.

Magic mushroom facilitator Henry Fields, thinking about playing his guitar for a client.

Hi, I’m Henry. I am a musician, yogi, mystic and intuitive counselor. If you and I work together, I will support you in preparing for your journey, and teach you the basics of a shamanic journey to be used to craft your intention statement. During the ceremony, you will be held within a safe container of non-judgment. And, on the other side of your journey, I will lead you through a psychedelic integration session, which I view as the most essential part of your journey. I will support you in implementing into your daily life the themes, directives, and body awareness received in non-ordinary reality.

I began my journey with psychedelics in high school, to heighten my explorations into musical improvisation and consciousness. I am also a diagnosed narcoleptic. I regularly experienced lucid dreaming and astral travel as a child—experiences I now view as shamanic initiations awakening in me a deep calling to explore the mystery.

Much like the figures of the Summer of Love I so deeply admired, I rode my consciousness exploration train into the substance abuse station. After years of struggling to shed addiction’s chains on my soul (and bouts of depression), my moment of clarity came at thirty-four. I reached towards spirit through various mediums and came to understand and embody the wisdom that I was receiving from my sponsors, yoga teachers and pastors. With their insights and grace, I was able to pivot and embrace a different path—one where I learned to trust and have faith.

After thirteen years of complete sobriety, and a full year of deliberation in advance of the journey, I found myself on a plane to Peru to experience Ayahuasca. On a soul level, I was being called to the medicine. Ayahuasca gave me deep insights into the generational trauma I was carrying, revealed my choices that did not support my soul’s purpose, and showed me just how much love and light was within and around me. I was also given clear, specific directives for changing my life—but never acted on most of them. This is one of the reasons why I have become such a proponent of psychedelic integration. Yes, there are great gifts in the healing experienced through the journey itself, and the truth of interconnectedness it sparks, but the circle is completed during the integration session. This is where the true alchemy occurs, as your higher self leads you to take action steps that bring your life into alignment.

The magic continues as we realize that we are enough and begin sharing our true gifts with our community. Along those lines, my journey led me to transition from a thirty-year restaurant career into doing psilocybin facilitation, psychedelic integration, hypnosis, and shamanic counseling. I bring my music, humor, intuition and vast experience to each journey. I greatly look forward to connecting with you.

Being a part of a military family, he has a deep respect and specializes in clients who have served in the military as well as first responders.  His experience as an athlete who has suffered traumatic brain injuries (TBI) as well as being physically assaulted, has taught him valuable lessons about patience, diligence, and forgiveness as well as his 15 years of holistic wellness practices.

Aaron is committed to supporting his clients for the best possible experience, which starts with the preparation work and continues long after their session. He offers three integration sessions after the journey and is happy to schedule as many preparation meetings as needed before the journey so that clients feel supported, respected, and confident at each step of the process.

Portrait of Arlo, a psilocybin facilitator in Oregon with a background in art, mental health, and creative integration, offering safe psilocybin treatment and support for psilocybin experience in Oregon.

A farm kid from the dirt roads of New England, Arlo approaches his work in plant medicine with radical humility and empathy.

In his 42 years on the planet, Arlo has been a professor, journalist, translator, farmhand, creative director, counselor and case manager, semi-professional soccer player. This spectrum of experience helps him connect with people from all walks of life, regardless of class, race or gender. He received his facilitator certificate from Innertrek in Portland, OR and holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Oregon as well. Outside of the psychedelic sphere, he leads workshops that dwell at the intersection of wellness and art and actively mentors writers, musicians and visual artists. 

Arlo’s a strong proponent of deliberate and comprehensive preparation and he considers this process just as sacred as the medicine session itself. After the journey, you’ll work together to uncover and focus the lessons from the trip—through a creative and artistic lens—and craft a plan to integrate this experience into your daily routine.

Psychedelics profoundly shape how Arlo views the world, helping him to redefine his depression and anxiety as sources of strength and wonder. He is particularly drawn to working with athletes, folks with treatment-resistant depression, people burdened by grief and skeptics who are new to the world of plant medicine.

He welcomes all who are called to this healing modality, knowing that each person’s experience is unique and deserving of individualized attention. 

Mushrooms aid in connecting us with ourselves and in healing cognitively, emotionally, somatically, and biochemically. Esa nurtures this transformative process by fostering the imaginative and creative abilities inherent in each person to create positive, lasting change.
