About Ripple journey work
What is psychedelic journey work?
Psychedelic journey work involves the intentional use of psychoactive substances for healing, growth, and self-discovery. Humans have likely used psilocybin mushrooms for thousands of years, with some estimates suggesting as far back as 10,000 BCE. Evidence of psilocybin use is inferred from ancient art, archaeological findings, and Indigenous traditions.
In Oregon, journeywork includes ingesting lab-tested *Psilocybe cubensis* mushrooms at a state-licensed service center under the guidance of a licensed facilitator. Under this legal framework as long as you are 21+ and don't have disqualifying conditions you are eligible!
This process emphasizes a safe environment, clear intentions, and integrating insights into daily life.
My role
As a licensed psilocybin facilitator in Oregon, I'm here to guide and support you before, during, and after your psilocybin journey.
It is my honor to keep you safe, nurtured and assured to do this profound work.
I see clients at the states leading service center, Satya in Ashland, OR. https://satyatherapeutics.com/
As your guide, I adopt a non-judgmental, non-directive approach.
We may be a good fit if you want someone who:
- Believes we all have the right to heal
- Communicates well and listens deeply, though prefers not to speak in front of large groups.
- Embraces both a scientific mindset and a spiritual perspective.
- Has thirty years of experience working with plant medicines.
- Maintains an open, non-judgmental approach and actively works on recognizing personal biases.
- Appreciates the vast diversity and range of altered states of consciousness.

what are some potential benefits of psilocybin?
Emotional Release
Psilocybin can help people access and release repressed emotions, opening a pathway to process deep-seated traumas and bring clarity to emotional challenges. This emotional release often brings a sense of relief and peace after a session, allowing for a fresh, positive outlook. By releasing trapped emotions stored in the body some people report an improvement in physical pain
A Shift In Consciousness
A psilocybin-induced shift in consciousness often involves a profound change in how an individual perceives themselves and the world. During this experience, people frequently report a sense of heightened awareness, where ordinary thoughts and emotions feel deeply intensified or take on new meanings. Boundaries between self and surroundings may feel blurred, creating a feeling of interconnectedness with others, nature, or the universe.
This shift can allow individuals to step outside their usual patterns of thought, viewing emotions, memories, and beliefs from a fresh perspective. Many describe it as if they’re observing themselves from the outside, which can lead to powerful insights about personal issues or long-standing habits. This expanded state of mind can help people confront suppressed emotions, recognize harmful thought patterns, and explore new ways of thinking, often leading to lasting emotional clarity and personal growth.
Changes In The Brain
Studies show psilocybin enhances both neuroplasticity and neurogenesis. Potentially making it a powerful tool for mental adaptability and growth. By fostering new neural connections, it helps the brain more easily adopt healthier thought patterns and behaviors, supporting individuals in breaking free from deeply ingrained mental habits. Additionally, psilocybin promotes neurogenesis—the growth of new neurons—by activating serotonin receptors that boost brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein essential for neuron growth and survival. This process strengthens the brain’s ability to build new, healthier pathways, encouraging flexibility and resilience. Such effects can be especially beneficial for those experiencing depression or anxiety.
Disrupts Negative Thought Loops
Psilocybin can break negative thought loops by disrupting the brain's Default Mode Network (DMN), which is heavily involved in self-referential thinking, rumination, and habitual thought patterns. In people experiencing conditions like depression, OCD and anxiety, the DMN often becomes overactive, leading to repetitive, self-focused negative thoughts that can feel inescapable.
When psilocybin downregulates DMN activity, it weakens the brain's tendency to get stuck in these loops, allowing individuals to experience thoughts and emotions without rigid attachment or overanalysis. This break in habitual brain patterns can open up space for new perspectives and a more flexible mindset, possibly helping individuals reduce the intensity and frequency of negative loops and foster a more positive outlook.
