EPIC Newsletter Issue 9 - Dragonflies, Retreats, & More Services
July 10th, 2024
EPIC Healing Eugene & Radiant Heart Consulting specialize in supporting clients in their healing and transformational experiences. We offer facilitated psilocybin therapy sessions that support clients in making a deeper connection with themselves and the psilocybin, the primary teacher and guide. We focus on providing highly curated and supportive services and a lovely space for individuals, couples, small groups, and those attending our EPIC / RHC's retreats.
Meaning of the Dragonfly: Transformation and Adaptability

Spotting a dragonfly is exciting: after all, you are witnessing a beautiful creature that is a master of change, adaptability, and metamorphosis. Dragonflies represent spiritual growth through change and transformation. -LJ Innes
During a recent session at EPIC Healing Eugene, a baby dragonfly somehow found itself from our outdoor patio to our Garden Room. It apparently had been hanging out inside for a few days, as a client reported after his session that he thought he saw a small blue dragonfly flying around. Of course, since we are often working with people who are under the influence of psilocybin in our supportive setting, the facilitator (Heather) and client attributed the apparent flyby to a psychedelic vision. The next day, I (Cathy) was facilitating a session, when I heard something in one of our plants, then a little blue dragonfly landed on my head. Whether it was a plea to be freed or possibly a hello, it flew to the ground and seemed to be waiting for me. I scooped up my little blue friend and carried him out to the patio. Despite me offering it a beautiful flower to perch on, it didn’t want to leave my finger. I finally convinced it to accept the flower by gently prying it off my finger. It stayed on the flower for a long time. When I was walking back into the garden room, it suddenly flew by my feet and landed. Maybe it was a “thank you” or another hello. I get curious when these encounters with nature happen.
The next day, a little red dragonfly was tapping its wings on my office window. I couldn’t believe it was actually another dragonfly and this time red. Then a few days later I was visiting with a friend on our deck gazing out to our garden. This time there was an unusual display of small and large red and blue dragonflies, about fifteen of them, some flying attached to each other or in a solo display, I took it as a sign or a message, a reminder of the power and beauty of transformation.
We, at EPIC Healing Eugene and Radiant Heart Consulting, feel so fortunate to provide supportive Set and Settings for the individuals, groups, and retreat participants that come to us. Whether you want to have a private experience or one in community with others, it is our honor to provide a variety of supportive services and retreat offerings. We look forward to supporting you in your transformation.
