Oregon Guided Psilocybin
Assisted Therapy

Lighting the Path to Wholeness

Psilocybin Therapy & Psilocybin Service Center

At Aurora Healing Gardens, our facilitators are grateful to have the opportunity to walk with you in this most mysterious and potentially transformative life event.

Whether you are searching for a new vision, or to understand early childhood trauma, or seeking assistance with substance use disorder, or the resolution of a chronic condition, we are honored to care for you as you embark on your unique personal experience. You have arrived at just the right time. Now……..is the right time.

This medicine comes from the earth. It is a substance which can not only call us back to our natural origins, but it can help to revitalize old neuronal pathways in the brain, and to ‘wake up’ the connections between neurons which were weakened or lost through chronic stress, trauma or just over time. We believe that nature is a critical aspect of a healing journey, and is our ally. We strive to incorporate as much of living, growing energies into our services as possible.

For your safety, you must be 21 years or older, not have a history or a family history of schizophrenia, or have taken Lithium in the last 30 days.

Susie Corcoran

Licensed Psilocybin Facilitator
FNP-C., CNM., MN., RN.

I began caring for women as a licensed midwife in 1990, and went on to expand my education becoming Certified Nurse Midwife in 2003, and then a Family Nurse Practitioner in 2009. As a midwife, I have been a longstanding witness to the timeless miracle of birth. There is a magical quality to the unbelievable transformative energies that have always held my passion. It is what held me, and kept me mesmerized for over 30 years. I have practiced midwifery in all settings, home, birth center and hospital. Over the last 20 years I owned a family practice clinic and free standing licensed birth center in my little town of Aurora.

As it tends to do, the time came to close the chapter on midwifery, and strangely, in the course of doing so, Psilocybin assisted therapy came into my awareness. Similar to birth, this mysterious form of therapy was sounding almost like a ‘re-birthing’ process, and was compelling and hopeful. In doing a deeper dive into the research on Psilocybin Assisted Therapy, I, like so many, was astounded to see the incredible outcomes on PTSD, depression, anxiety, substance use disorders and more. Not only were the outcomes so favorable, but the data was showing that Psilocybin therapy was ‘lighting up’ connections in the brain, and actually helping neurons to connect and communicate.

Through the relentless stress of being a healthcare provider in today’s medical world, a practice owner, and having served so long in one of (what can be), the most stressful and unpredictable areas of healthcare, I was exhausted and ‘burn out’ was an understatement. So I opted to look into this form of therapy for myself. I still can’t believe the effect that it has had not only on my brain, emotions and body as a whole, but also on my spiritual life and my connection to my own personal practice. People keep saying to me, “you look younger”, and while I don’t know if that is objectively true, I certainly feel like a new person. It has also helped to transform some relationships closest to me.

After going through this experience, I felt it only natural, and almost obligatory, to bring this therapy into my own practice, and to transform our little birth suite into psilocybin service center! It is now, here, for you, to start your journey toward what it is that you need.

Karin Calde

Licensed Psilocybin Facilitator
Ph.D, CPC, LPF

Karin has been supporting couples and individuals for nearly 20 years - initially as a therapist, and now as a relationship and self-development coach and state-licensed psilocybin facilitator. She has her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, but leads with her heart, recognizing the strengths in each person she sees. Her values of love, connection, self-growth, and integrity are evident to her clients and she believes everyone has the right to feel safe, seen, heard, and respected. Additionally, her training in IFS (Internal Family Systems) helps her see her clients as whole people with the inner capacity to heal and grow, rather than as something to be fixed. She feels honored to work with her clients and witness their transformations.

I discovered psychedelics when I was in my mid-40s and they changed my life. Even though I had a an advanced degree in psychology, worked as a therapist, and had been in therapy on and off for 20 years, I felt stuck. I had lot of anxiety about using psilocybin, but my experience changed everything. Psilocybin therapy gave me the insight to finally make progress in therapy, and experience more joy and less stress in my life.

I became a licensed psilocybin facilitator because I want to help people experience healing, connection, and growth. And while no one can predict what anyone’s experience with psilocybin will be like, working with a Licensed Psilocybin Facilitator who understands how the process works and what can come up during a session, can help with anxiety and fear and make the whole process much more rewarding.

Why Use a Psilocybin Facilitator?

Some people wonder if it is worth it to access the services of a Licensed Psilocybin Facilitator. It can be a bit mysterious at the beginning, but having set forth on this journey, there will likely be a lot of questions that arise: both ‘inner’ questions, and ‘outer’ questions. A lot comes up through the course of this therapy, and a Licensed Psilocybin Facilitator can help you to navigate the winding road, and be a witness to, and to help reflect your experience.

In addition, by choosing a Licensed Service Center with a Licensed Psilocybin Facilitator, you can be assured that your mushroom medicine is well-sourced, lab-tested, and correctly dosed.

The carefully curated space and peaceful environment of Aurora Healing Gardens can help clients find clarity, perspective and relief from long and deeply held beliefs that can keep us from living our lives as happily and fully as we can.

After having chosen a facilitator and possibly a service center, you will have 2-3 Preparation Sessions prior to the actual Administration Session. There will also be at least one follow up, called the Integration Session to explore your experience and reflect on what was encountered or uncovered. This is an important part of your care, and your facilitator will be with you for the whole of this process.
