EPIC Healing Eugene has been offering facilitated psilocybin session since becoming the first licensed service center, serving its first official clients on June 23, 2023. As a state regulated “service center” rules mandate a non-medical, non-directive approach be employed. And, those with medical, mental health, or other advanced degrees not use these in the context of providing services. So what is offered then? How does healing happen?

First, what is mushroom therapy? Mushroom therapy, particularly using psychedelics like psilocybin, offers a revolutionary approach to mental health treatment. Supported by a growing body of research, this therapy can help address a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction.

What sets mushroom therapy apart is its ability to facilitate profound emotional breakthroughs and self-discovery, often leading to lasting improvements in mental well-being. During guided sessions, individuals are introduced to psilocybin in a supportive environment, encouraging deeper introspection and emotional release. This points to the importance of “Set” and “Setting.” At EPIC Healing Eugene, and our facilitation service provided through our sister company, Radiant Heart Consulting, we provide the safe and supportive setting for clients to deeply explore their inner world. This mindset that a client brings to the session, their intention and willingness to let-go or lean into the healing experience, whatever may come, is the “Set.”

Both “Set” and “Setting” are quite different than what typically happens if you take psychedelic mushrooms with your friends. Sometimes a person may mean to have a fun experience with their friends, but suddenly they need to lay down or need some quiet time, this is the power of the mushrooms wanting to take them deeper. Psilocybin, the mushrooms, always have this potential, though often the mushrooms show their intelligence and helpfulness by helping a person go to where they are emotionally and psychologically ready. Going intentionally inward during a psychedelic experience is more likely to happen if space and the time is created for it to happen. This is what we offer at EPIC Healing and Radiant Heart.

The therapeutic process is rooted in preparation for the actual experience, safety and how the experience is planned for then embarked upon, and integration, ensuring that each experience is understood and valuable to your journey. Many participants report significant reductions in symptoms and renewed perspectives on life after just one or a few sessions. The main variables to how lasting the experiential insights and shifts are in a person’s life, depends on what is done to keep these aspects alive in one’s life following the psychedelic experience. This is the importance of psychedelic preparation and integration. At EPIC Healing and Radiant Heart consider ourselves experts in the regulated psychedelic space, as we’ve not only have served hundreds of clients since opening our doors to the public, we offer five hours of individual preparation and integration to each client signed up for services, and then complimentary bimonthly preparation, and bimonthly integration groups, as well as extra personal growth groups monthly to all who have scheduled or have had services with us.

If you’re seeking an innovative and transformative approach to mental health, consider the benefits of mushroom therapy. It’s not just a trend; it’s an opportunity to unlock the potential for healing and growth within you. This may be the path to reclaiming your joy and peace of mind. We look forward to serving you.
