EPIC Healing Eugene & Radiant Heart Consulting specialize in offering highly curated and private sessions, supporting individual clients and small groups in their healing and transformational experiences. We also offer retreats. Our facilitated psilocybin therapy sessions support clients in making a deeper connection with themselves and the psilocybin (the magic mushrooms) who is the primary teacher and guide. We are also pleased to offer a long-term community of support to our clients, with free ongoing support and personal growth groups.

The Teaching of the Sunflower… Nurturing Seeds of Change. Changing Seasons as our Teacher.
Since EPIC Healing Eugene became the nation’s first licensed psilocybin service center on May 5th, 2023, our courtyard has gone through many seasonal transitions, getting cleaned up and a new look of flowers, shrubs, ferns, and trees, whatever the season will allow in our Pacific Northwest climate. We and our beloved courtyard have celebrated two springs, two summers, two autumns, almost two falls, and one winter. Recently I (Cathy) visited a pumpkin patch with my five year old grandson; we enjoyed what felt like a perfect, summer day. I couldn't help but have some philosophical musings about the sunflowers and the change of season. The last of the flowers, sunflowers and dahlias, with some honeybees hurrying to feed on them. The changing colors of the autumn-colored trees are becoming more prominent each day, and soon the rains will start along with the massive dropping of multi-colored leaves. But, what do those sunflowers with their seeds tightly nestled into their flower heads teach us? And, how can this relate to taking a psychedelic journey? I believe so many times in our lives things happen that plant seeds of growth and transformation to occur, for when those teachings are ready to flower within us, and even perhaps change the course of our lives. The magic of the psilocybin mushroom operates in the same fashion. Just as we witness in nature, everything seems to happen just as it should. How is it that one small sunflower seed can not only grow into a large specimen to behold, standing out so boldly with its yellow crown of gold petals, but can also produce hundreds if not thousands of little seeds? The spiral pattern of the seeds within the head of the sunflower are so orderly, just as nature has supported its growth, and ours as well. And, now this sunflower reaches the end of its cycle, the prime of its beauty transitioning; its seeds are its legacy, the gift to share with others. (Continued)

The Teaching of the Sunflower… Nurturing Seeds of Change. Changing Seasons as our Teacher.
(continued) - The sunflower seems to represent the selflessness of sharing its bounty. Thank you for the reminder, dear sunflower, of how many seeds are yet to germinate and bloom within us; with each interaction, each pausing in the present moment, each opportunity to shine our light, we continue to cast the seeds of what we've learned, and through that, a feeling of meaning and purpose fills us. There can be hope and freedom as we embrace change, when we get unstuck, allowing the season of expansive joy to bathe us with light, just like the sunflower. Because we don't often know what is happening behind the surface of where life is sometimes guiding us, or how certain life experiences only reveal their significance years later, this is the importance of creating ways of honoring our life journey, the insights that flash in the eye of the heart and mind. This is the path of trusting that endless metaphorical seeds are germinating within us, leading us on our journey. Appreciating the small and grander insights are an important aspect of psychedelic integration, and the gifts we can share with others. May we continue to enjoy the flower teachers, and allow ourselves to be one as well. 🦋
Herbal blessing, Limpia Spiritual Cleansing Ritual, with Amazonian protector herbs, plants, and flowers. This was offered at the Healers of the Heart Retreat, September 2024. Participants loved it, followed by sitting in the sauna and letting the blessing soak in. We'll offer this again!
Shamanic drumming Journey of “Meeting Your Future Self” at the “Healers of the Heart Retreat”. (Cathy drumming at the Dragonfly Retreat House, June 2024). We offered similar offerings during our September offering of "Healers of the Heart" including a favorite for both of the "Healers of the Heart" Retreat: A heart-centered hypnotherapy Decision Making script. We also offered individual energy healing sessions for each participant, which we'll continue to offer each retreat going forward.
