What’s new in 2024?

Yes! We offer retreats! (Visit our services page and scroll down for current retreat offerings).

____________________________

We are finally in a position to expand our offerings, and are excited to offer some retreat experiences. We’re working on it.

While EPIC searches for a larger second location, we will start offering some non-residential and residential retreat experiences, meaning that some of our offered experiences will include arranged lodging, others will offer day programming with lodging on your own. Stay tuned for more details. We are planning some fun and meaningful offerings in Eugene, Ashland, and Portland, Oregon.

Our mini-retreat experiences, will include preparation and integration activities and personal growth experiences that add extra support to prepare and integrate a psilocybin experience, along with having a group psilocybin experience.

Offerings will include 'Heal the Healer' groups for those in the healing field experiencing compassion fatigue, burnout, depression, anxiety, or vicarious trauma.

Our offerings will include a variety of experiences, including time for journaling and exploring.

Extra retreat activities (beyond when we are engaged in structured non-directive approach for preparation, facilitation, and integration session) may include breath-work, cacao ceremony, energy healing sound bath, focused integration work with guided meditations, energy healing with tuning forks, shamanic healing and release strategies, deep exploration using Parts Work (Internal Systems Therapy), Earth grounding, kundalini yoga practices, vision board with inner light coaching, artwork, forest bathing, smudging with herbal blessings, and more.

Contact us to inquire and to add yourself to the “interested list.” Prices TBD and will depend on fair lodging costs, group rates for experience, location, activities, and staffing. We will post a flyer on our website and also a link on our newsletter when we have our retreat dates planned. Thank you for your interest! We have a great Retreat Team coming together.

Yes, we are the first ever officially licensed Psilocybin Service Center in Oregon and the country. We always accept referrals to our wait list and do not go in order. We are a small service center, but operate seven days a week. Currently, we are able to serve 20-30 clients a month at EPIC Healing Eugene. We expect that number to grow when we get a second location.

Thank you for your interest and patience with our process. We specialize in individual and small group experiences, couples or groups of 2-3 that know each each-other.

In an effort to serve more clients on our waitlist, we have created an arrangement with some other service centers (Fractal Soul in Portland, and Omnia in Ashland) for offering sessions there with one of our vetted facilitators.

Once you’ve been chosen from our waitlist, we will reach out and contact you to schedule a 20 minute free consult to determine if psilocybin facilitation is good choice for you at this time.

EPIC Healing Eugene contracts with Radiant Heart Consulting (our sister company) for facilitation and other supportive services offered. Oregon state guidelines require a non-directive approach to psilocybin preparation, facilitation, and integration. This approach is supportive, but not therapy. Each person’s inner intelligence is considered the primary guide for healing, along with the inner-wisdom promoting action of the psilocybin.

EPIC includes two hours of non-directive Individual preparation, a supported yet non-directed experiential session, and two hours Individual integration as part of each offering.

We also offer additional group offerings including a free monthly preparation group, and a free monthly integration group, for those who are signed up or have completed a session with us.

To get on Waitlist, fill out our Contact Form. Please Include your name, what City/State you are coming from, phone, email, reason for seeking services, the month/year you would like to be seen, and other questions. Our waitlist is very long, but we don’t go in order.

We have a Youtube video about our waitlist and what we look for as we sort through the referrals received.

EPIC Waitlist, The Intake Call, & Scheduling:  EPIC’s waitlist is always open. While EPIC historically always has a long waitlist, we don’t go in order and welcome those who have a sincere interest in coming to us. Once you fill out and submit the contact form, you will be added to our wait list. EPIC randomly sends out over a hundred email invitations each week. We welcome repeat inquiries if it’s been a while since you added your name to our wait list. If you are still interested when you receive our invitation for an intake call, please write back to indicate when you may want to come. We will invite you to schedule a 20-30 minute free consultation with our EPIC Intake Team. During the call, we will explore your unique situation and discuss next steps for getting scheduled. If you decide to move forward after your intake call, you can hold a certain date on our schedule by putting down a deposit. You will then fill out our intake paperwork and review this prior to your session with your chosen facilitator. Refer to Radiant Heart Consulting to learn more about our skilled and compassionate facilitators. Our prices are listed on our FAQ page.

Per the OHA guidelines we need to follow and not being a medical setting, we need to direct any specific questions regarding your medications or medical condition and how these variables may effect a psychedelic experience to your medical professional team. We are interested in having this information as well, as this will help us best help you.

Please refer to our EPIC Healing Eugene Services Page, which informs on our process. We pull over over 100 people per week from our waitlist, then reach out with an emailed invitation to arrange an intake call. If you have been on the waitlist for awhile, you can email us at info@epichealingeugene.com. We generally schedule appointments up to 4 months in advance, so if you’ve indicated in your initial inquiry that you are interested in coming at a later date, we will process referrals that want to come sooner. If you want to come within the next 4 months, feel free to reach out again. We look forward to working with you!

Yes, we serve clients from all over. For an actual psilocybin session, you’ll need to travel to Oregon. We will discuss options for you regarding EPIC Healing Eugene’s main location (which is based in Eugene, Oregon) versus alternative annex services that are available with our Radiant Heart Consulting staff in other service center locations.

Our preparation and integration session are offered via Zoom or Google Meet.

RHC Alumni Return Session Discounts

Benefits we are pleased to offer our EPIC / RHC Alumni, meaning clients who have completed a facilitated session with us:

$500 discount to facilitation services pricing for RHC clients returning for an administration session within 12 months of completing intake forms and preparation session, at the same service center location as before. (Per OHA rules we don’t need to re-do forms and preparation in this scenario.)

$100 discount to facilitation services pricing for any returning RHC clients regardless of service center location and timeframe.

Unlimited Attendance for EPIC / RHC's offered Integration Groups, offered twice a month.

Other details:

We do have clients who have repeat sessions. People have different goals and benchmarks for personal and psychological growth following a psilocybin experience. Gernally, those who return for another session are wanting the deeper connection they felt during their experience, or hoping for longer, more enduring benefits in their healing.

We’ve also had inquiries for those who would like to come for a lower dose session then a higher dose session. These options can be dicussed during your intake screening call, and/or during your preparation session with your chosen facilitator. For those who are planning on coming from out of state, we suggest that you might want to plan on having one or two facilitation sessions (depending on scheduling), sandwiched around a few days (or longer) of exploring the beautiful coast or mountain environments nearby.

Yes, in our primary location, we offer small group experiences, and especially enjoy working with couples. Although what we’ve decided works best in EPIC’s small service center, is to offer group services for people that already know each other.

Our facilitation groups are generally limited to 2-3 people, unless it’s a specially arranged group or offered retreat experience, we may serve up to 5 people who want to experience a lower dose session together.

In addition to the individual services we offer regarding preparation, facilitation, and integration, We also offer additional group offerings of a free monthly preparation group, and a free monthly integration group, for those who are signed up or have completed a session with us.

2024: While we search for a larger second location, we will offer some non-residential retreat experiences. Stay tuned for more details. We are planning some fun and meaningful offerings.

We are excited to announce that we are now offering free monthly online integration groups for our EPIC Alumni Clients. We also offer a monthly preparation group for those who are scheduled for a session with us.

These groups are in addition to the individual preparation and integration sessions that clients will have with their chosen facilitator. We also offer an integration journal, which can be acquired for free as our gift when onsite at EPIC Healing Eugene’s Service Center, or purchased on Amazon to use prior to your session that we reimburse clients for purchasing.

If clients desire more than the free groups we offer, and the two hours of individual preparation and two hours of individual integration as part of your psilocybin session purchased, extra sessions can be arranged for with their facilitator.

If additional preparation and integration support is desired beyond what it is included in our packages and what we offer, we offer a resource page on our radiant heart consulting website that includes a variety of additional supportive resources.

Yes, we do have a small courtyard that is inviting and has plants and flowers, ferns, a fountain, and other nice touches.

EPIC contracts with our sister company, Radiant Heart Consulting for our facilitation services. We have two prices for individual services based on whether a client is working with one of Radiant’s Senior-Level versus regular-level Oregon Licensed Facilitators, and group rates with one of Radiant’s Senior-Level Facilitators. EPIC Healing Eugene has separate costs it incurs to provide this specialized service. This includes providing the appropriate staffing and setting for a safe and deep transformational experience. Along with best practice decisions, EPIC must follow state mandated staffing requirements, and rules regarding how long a client must stay at a licensed Service Center after receiving psilocybin. Other costs include the cost of the state regulated psilocybin product itself, as well as taking all of the steps required to qualify for and operate within Oregon’s psilocybin strict regulatory framework, which includes the unknowns of federal tax laws.

Updated price sheets with specific amounts is provided to potential clients prior to their initial consultation.

Psilocybin services fees (Radiant)

Psilocybin product prices (EPIC)

More price ranges and services will be added, once we open our second location.

Yes, we can create a payment plan for you. Just let us know your need and we’ll create the appropriate payment links so you can better budget a healing session.

Discounted rates and occasional scholarships are made possible through EPIC'S and Radiant Heart Consulting’s Pay It Forward Fund. This fund is created and sustained by those feeling abundant to help others have a transformative experience, from EPIC/Radiant’s own in-house donations, from our staff who are willing to discount their rates, and from our psilocybin manufacturer who is also willing to offer donations of product. EPIC Healing Eugene and our sister company, Radiant Heart Consulting donates 5% of our revenue to our Pay-It-Forward Fund each month. We consult a screening form to allow fairness in distribution of available funds, based on client’s financial needs and resources available. We appreciate all donations so we can help others with modest means afford an experience. Thank you.

Due to the legal status of psilocybin, medical Insurance does not cover the psilocybin facilitation or the cost of the psilocybin. We have included two preparation, and two integration sessions as part our experiential sessions, in addition to the free preparation and integration groups we offer.

We offer macrodosing. The dosage range EPIC offers ranges traditionally between 10 mg up to 35 mg. For clients who have come for a previous session, we may consider going up to 50 mg. Oregon allows for service centers to go up to 50 mg dosage, however we’ve decided for our small setting 35 mg is a reasonable limit for those new to psychedelics and/or coming to our service center for the first time. Research and medical settings commonly uses 20- 25 mg dosages.

Microdosing is often around 1/10 or less of a standard dose. True microdosing is generally sub-perceptual. Micro-dosing builds neuro-plasticity and opens receptivity of the heart and mind within the facilitation setting. Many clients prefer to start with this kind of experience to “get their feet wet” using psychedelics.

At this time, we do not offer microdosing, except for special offerings as part of retreat programming. We hope to offer microdosing when we are in a larger space. so we can offer this service more frequently and at a lower cost. In these types of sessions, clients take enough psilocybin to feel a mild expansion of consciousness, but not enough to enter into a deeper psychedelic journey.

Stay tuned.

No, the Oregon model of psilocybin service delivery only allow for purchase of psilocybin to be a part of a supervised psilocybin facilitated journey. There are no legal dispensaries for psilocybin in Oregon, and we do not mail or provide any psilocybin outside of the state allowed regulated framework.

We have a Pay It Forward Fund for those interested in helping others afford a facilitated psilocybin experience. Those with more generous means can also support our growth by helping us get established in a second location.

Details: It has always been our desire to increase accessibility, which we can do when we have a larger space. Currently, we operate out of a leased office space in a professional counseling office building, usually using one, and sometimes two offices. While we love our nurturing space, which is full of plants and has an sweet courtyard, it is too small to offer groups and other creative healing services.

A second, larger, space will enable us to offer more sessions to individuals and couples, and various group and other healing services including retreats, microdosing, personal growth groups, and more. By offering group experiences, we will also be able to offer lower costs and increase accessibility.

For those who would like to contribute to us, so we can expand our services, please contact us directly to learn more and explore investment opportunities. Donations can be made to EPIC'S and Radiant Heart Consulting Pay It Forward Fund. Thank you for any and all donations.

Sorry, we’ve been busy, put have lots of personal thank you and heartfelt reviews we’d love to share:

On September 6, 2023 I had the honor of receiving a psilocybin therapy session with Cathy Jonas and Heather Shelton at their lovely service center. I am grateful for their care and support during this transitional life-affirming event. Know that you will receive their utmost attention. No better companions could be hoped for during your healing journey.

I have done a full session with Cathy and her team and it was an exquisite experience! With her experience and knowledge, Cathy was able to guide me in a most comfortable and insightful way. I cannot imagine a solo journey after this!

I am very happy to be part of this pioneering therapy which has long lasting results.

I have deep appreciation for all the work she has done to lay the groundwork for a new direction forward! Thank you, Epic Healing team!

I was very impressed with the services provided by Cathy Jonas and Heather Shelton RN.

As you can imagine, since I have never had an experience with these types of drugs, I was nervous about what the procedure would be like.

However, Cathy and Heather were very welcoming and supportive, and the room was well equipped for various ways to be comfortable during this process, I was fully educated about what type of experience this could be and assured that they would “come to the rescue” if needed.

Cathy and Heather explained what typically occurs during this process and provided tips on how to deal with possible “scary incidents” to quickly overcome any fearful thoughts.

 What really impressed me the most was how dedicated they were to upholding Oregon’s standards for providing this service. Everything was explained to me about the impact various types of mushrooms could have on people and after those explanations, I chose the one that seemed best suited to me.

I highly recommend Epic Healing Eugene as a great environment to have this experience.

I recently worked with Cathy and her exceptional team on my own healing journey. They provide a beautiful space for healing and a gentle presence to explore this extraordinary medicine. It was a life changing healing experience, and one that would have been quite different had I taken the do-it-yourself home route. I will be eternally grateful to Cathy and Team for accompanying me on this healing journey.

We travelled to Eugene for a session with Cathy. It was a new experience for me, and I couldn’t have been more satisfied. Cathy is intuitive and empathetic, which made me at ease from the moment we interacted.

I highly recommend EPIC.

The atmosphere at EPIC healing is unique and transformative. I was able to receive the care and support I needed. As soon as I walked through that door I was able to feel positive vibes. Cathy and her husband treated me with empathy and respect. Thank you for guiding me on this EPIC healing journey.
