from spiritual catharsis to profound introspection, a psilocybin journey allows us to reclaim those lost parts of ourselves and move through the world with confidence and grace


Psilocybin therapy is for everyone—the dreamer, the skeptic, the student, and all of us in between.

the student

In clinical studies, involving debilitating conditions like addiction and depression, psilocybin therapy has shown exceptional promise and consistently outperformed conventional treatments.

Here’s a link to a nice round up of the studies on addiction disorder.

the skeptic

It’s not all ineffable moments and vague notions of cosmic awe. Multiple research studies reveal that psilocybin ignites underused neural pathways and neutralizes certain parts of our brain that discourage neuroplasticity.

Here’s a link to some promising ideas about your brain on drugs :)

the dreamer

Plant medicine hands us the universe. The experience is so powerful that we often leave our sessions in a state of spiritual catharsis.

Arlo, PDX

A farm kid from the dirt roads of New England, I treat plant medicine with radical humility and empathy.

In my 42 years on the planet, I’ve worked as a professor, journalist, translator, bartender, cook, farmhand, creative director, counselor, case manager, Fulbright scholar and semi-professional soccer player.

I received my facilitator certificate from Innertrek in pdx and outside of the psychedelic sphere, I lead workshops that dwell at the intersection of wellness and art and actively mentor writers, musicians and visual artists. 

I’m a strong proponent of deliberate and comprehensive preparation and consider this process just as sacred as the medicine session itself. After the journey, we’ll work together to uncover and focus the lessons from the trip—through a creative and artistic lens—and craft a plan to integrate this experience into your daily routine.

“Arlo was all I could have wanted in a facilitator…well prepared, kind and well connected during the session. His attention and focus were unwavering and he was fluid in offering all kinds of support, sitting, talking, walking, visualizing, all of it. He also has some unique creative practices and activities he brings to preparation and integration. It was smooth and I felt seen and held, highly recommended.”— J from Portland, OR
