Indigenous cultures in Mexico and the Americas have used psilocybin mushrooms in spiritual and religious rituals for thousands of years.

Psilocybin is a naturally occurring, non-addictive psychedelic compound found in certain mushrooms. Eating mushrooms that contain psilocybin can have a variety of effects, ranging from euphoria to hallucinations. Depending on the amount consumed, journeys typically last anywhere from 2-6 hours.

Modern clinical trials are studying psilocybin as a breakthrough treatment for mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder

Studies have demonstrated psilocybin to be an effective option for many suffering from depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance use disorders, pain and chronic illnesses. It can also offer a mystical experience, an increased sense of well-being and connectedness, or opportunities for self-discovery and growth. It may be especially beneficial for those who have not responded well to traditional therapies.

While the use of psilocybin is generally considered safe, there are some individuals for whom psilocybin is not recommended. During the intake process, we will determine whether or not an individual is a good fit for psilocybin. If you have specific health-related questions, we encourage you to speak with your primary care physician.

Best Candidates for Psilocybin Therapy

• Open to introspective, non-ordinary states of consciousness.

• Emotionally stability to process difficult emotions that may arise.

• Committed to integration practices post-session.

⚠️ Contraindications & Risks

• Schizophrenia & Psychotic Disorders: Psilocybin can potentially trigger or worsen psychosis.

• Bipolar Disorder: Risk of inducing mania or destabilization.

• Heart Conditions: Psilocybin increases blood pressure and heart rate, so those with cardiovascular issues need medical screening.

• History of Severe Trauma Without Proper Support: The experience may be overwhelming for those with severe unprocessed trauma.

Our services involve psilocybin provided within the licensed healing center environment. While personal use is decriminalized, we cannot combine personal supply with our professional, paid services to comply with state regulations.

Mesoamerican and other Indigenous lineages understand the mushrooms as living, sentient entities that serve as active participants in communal and cosmic healing.

From a chemical perspective, psilocybin works by affecting certain parts of the brain that respond to serotonin, a chemical that influences how we feel and how our body functions. They work like a lock and key—serotonin fits into these areas of the brain and changes mood and body functions.

The surge in serotonin can can create changes in thought patterns and allow access to different emotions.

When psilocybin activates certain receptors, it reduces the energy needed for the brain to switch between different activity states. Through the rapid release of serotonin, individuals can have an increased ability to revisit and process memories and traumas.

The exposure also allows for periods of neuroplasticity to enable new connections and perspectives.

Research suggests that psilocybin can temporarily disrupt the brain’s default mode network (DMN). The DMN refers to parts of the brain that are most active during passive tasks and less active during tasks that require attentiveness.

By suppressing the DMN, psychedelics like psilocybin create an opportunity for new neural connections to form.

Imaging studies have found that psilocybin can increase connectivity between different brain regions that are usually separated. With the disruption of the standard organization of the brain, the belief is that thinking patterns can be more flexible.
