Overview
Discover a transformative path to recovery with our Addiction focused Quartet, designed for a small, supportive group of four participants. This program offers a safe and nurturing environment where you can explore the healing potential of psilocybin alongside others who share similar struggles. Psilocybin therapy has been shown to help reduce cravings, address underlying emotional issues, and foster a renewed sense of purpose and self-awareness. By participating in this program, you will gain valuable insights, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and build a strong support network with your peers. Join us to take the first step towards lasting recovery and embrace a future filled with hope and resilience.

This non-profit provides access and scholarships for those seeking psilocybin services for mental health. As an active facilitator, Ryan guides participants through their transformative experiences, emphasizing a client-centered approach that prioritizes personal insight and tailored practices.

He regularly shares his expertise at national psychedelic conferences, advocating for sustainable and accessible psilocybin businesses. A licensed engineer and business owner in Bend, Oregon, Ryan integrates his systematic approach with his facilitation work, ensuring safety and stability.
