meet your state licensed facilitator: Shelah Wind-Smith

Warmest greetings to you!

  I vividly remember my first mushroom journey!  During a highly charged emotional release my religious programming, (JW) began to dissolve.  Along with the depression, fear, and shame that came with it.  I was basked in universal love and shown my connection to the sacred web of life—forever changing the rhythm of my existence. Since that awakening, psilocybin has been a steadfast ally—an insightful healer, muse, and teacher.

  With reverance for psilocybin's transformative power and the indigenous traditions that preserve it, I strive to make this work accessible through sliding-scale pricing and scholarships.

  Throughout nurturing my relationship with entheogens over the last three decades, I'm dedicated to supporting others to explore extraordinary states of consciousness. My work in harm reduction at large events has allowed me to assist individuals navigating challenging psychedelic trips in chaotic environments.  These experiences have deepened my commitment to accessibility and the importance of intention, support, and proper setting when engaging with these powerful medicines.

 Drawing from my nursing background I bring empathy, attentiveness and a holistic approach to my practice. I take the time to understand your unique needs, offering personalized support, educational resources, and a nurturing space for your inner exploration. Whether co-creating a ceremonial setting or curating your ideal music playlist, I am here to help design a journey space that feels right for you!

  During integration, we’ll work together to process your experience and transform it into actionable steps towards building the life you desire. As your accountability partner I'll provide resources and aftercare suggestions to support your ongoing growth.

  Having navigated a life shaped by extreme adversity, I understand the depths of human suffering. My lived experiences have also given me a personal understanding of the intricacies of LGBTQIA2S+, disabled, and neurodivergent identities. It is my mission to serve with authenticity, promote inclusivity and to empower you along the way.

  Outside this role, I find inspiration in adventure and creativity. Living rurally with my family and cherished animals, I embrace the rhythms of the land. My passions- beekeeping, glassblowing and scuba diving reflect my love for nature and alchemy. These passions mirror the values I bring to my facilitation work: dedication, collaboration, and the courage to dive deep!

  Facilitating these profoundly personal experiences is a sacred duty and I approach every session with care and respect.  If you think we would be a good fit please reach out to me, I would be happy to speak with you!
