Pure love and caring
This experience highly exceeded my expectations, and was among the most meaningful of my life.
I am an internal medicine physician, and I chose this program because I could share the experience with people who are in the healthcare field. The background and experience of the facilitators was reassuring and the thoroughness of the intake interview gave me a feeling of confidence in the professionalism of the program.
Odyssey created a safe, caring environment to experience your journey with other people in the most beautiful setting. Perfectly curated from start to finish. A sense of trust and caring pervaded the entire weekend.
The facilitator team was fantastic. Each facilitator brought a unique perspective and were wonderfully supportive, caring and open. Michelle was in charge and in control the entire time. Organized, compassionate and simply as good as it gets. Just pure love and caring
I would strongly recommend Odyssey to anyone considering the program.

Psychedelic Retreat
I am a Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Advanced Trained Clinical Hypnotherapist as well as a student at Vital Psychedelics. Odessey is a highly trained group of mental health professionals led by a visionary who walks the talk of spirituality. My psilocybin experience was life changing. The words beyond trauma are present. I never thought this was possible. I have done a lot of my own personal work up to this point and will continue to do so. Thank you Gabe and Company 🙏

Surprisingly affordable for how life changing it was
I can't even explain how much this retreat changed my life. It's like giving your soul a chance to be reunited with your body amidst breath taking scenery in a loving, safe environment. It was well worth the time and financial investment, and I may even say it was more affordable than it should have been after seeing all that went in to it.

A renewed sense of involvement with the world
I came away from the experience with a fresh look at my life. I felt more open, positive, and involved with my surroundings. It helped to renew my feeling of involvement in the world around me. The care of the facilitators was special. They were deeply engaged in the retreat process and brought a great deal of knowledge and experience. They had a great deal of experience and seemed to know how to help. I felt comfortable and at ease during the entire process.

A top-class experience
I loved my time with Odyssey. The leadership team and the facilitators were truly unbelievable, caring, professional, and intuitive. Every small detail was taken care of. The psilocybin experience itself was emotive, positive, and therapeutic. Truly a top-class experience.

A Truly Amazing Journey
I had no idea what this retreat would bring my way but I didn't hesitate to sign up and trust the process, which was so professional from beginning to end. The facilitators made themselves available to answer questions, describe the events leading up to our session, and they were there every step of the way with empathy, respect, and thoughtfulness. Honestly, I was concerned because I was the oldest person in my group (68) and thought I might not fit in but the members of my group and the facilitators embraced my presence and eased my doubts.I felt safe to allow myself to experience the journey fully and it was very meaningful.
My experience was truly enlightening and amazing. I never expected to face what I did during my journey and the insights really opened my eyes to what I need to work on. I have a path forward. I'm so glad I took this step for myself.

astonishing
The location is exquisite, spent happy moments watching bats, birds against the backdrop of the Cascades - Broken Top and the 3 Sisters. Lavender bushes full of bees. Fantastic vistas. The house is beautiful and lived in. Minor fixes needed around the place but its beauty outweighed them.
As for the facilitators, I was astonished at how good they were. I feel like that part of Oregon (Bend area) is very rich in knowledge about therapeutic use of psychedelics. The leaders spoke of other experiences and research and were very generous with their time and knowledge. During the ceremony they were supportive. Afterwards with the integration pieces this continued. I never felt like it was intrusive. They listened, reflected and offered their experience. And I learned a lot.
The generosity, skill and support the facilitators provided made a huge difference for me. The medicine is strong - they helped me immeasurably through the process.
My group was fantastic as well. We all came from a similar professional field but - for the most part - did not know each other before. I have never experienced such caring and vulnerability from absolute strangers. I felt real connection.
This was a short event (2 travel days and 2 days on site) but was amazing. More than I imagined going in. Odyssey has worked hard to build up their program - thought went into everything but the whole thing did not feel packaged nor limited.

belonging to each other
Gabe at Odyssey created an open and relaxed environment from the initial inquiry call to the morning of departure. Our lead facilitator, Aaron, was with us from pick up to drop off from the airport. The Odyssey team took good care answering my questions and making my whole experience comfortable. Their understanding of this potent medicine is evident. I have attended many retreats and the presence the Odyssey team provided me and the group was exceptional. My experience was transformational. I highly recommend Odyssey for your journey experience.

I feel sad that the person I was before this waited so long to do it. I feel 100 pounds lighter, like I've cast away a tremendous amount of negative mental energy that wasn't serving me. It has been one of the most profound, and certainly most rapid, positive changes in my life. JP was great. He's a very calm, non-judgmental, supportive presence. Throughout the prep sessions he said many things that I found myself coming back to throughout the journey. Couldn't have asked for more.

Odyssey private session client, September 2024
My Odyssey therapist was able to guide me safely through one of the most important experiences of my life. I loved experiencing the most difficult emotions of my childhood in a more direct manner. This experience has left me feeling much more "in the moment" in my daily life. I find myself often being moved to tears, not in a depressed sense, but in appreciation and gratitude for my life. I cannot think of anything that could have been done better.
Ethan - Florida, USA
Odyssey private session client, August 2024
I can confidently say it has been a pivotal turning point in my life. I find myself more in touch with my emotions, often moved to tears not by sadness, but by an overwhelming sense of happiness and gratitude. This heightened emotional awareness has brought a sense of lightness, a pervasive happiness that colors my daily life.
This experience, while challenging, was also imbued with a sense of peace, bliss, and a serene calmness that enveloped me in a way I've never felt in my almost 35 years of existence. I experienced an intense feeling of love, a deep connection with my loved ones, and a profound oneness with the world around me.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are psilocybin services?
Psilocybin services in Oregon involve guided sessions facilitated by licensed professionals in a controlled environment. These services aim to provide clients with a safe, structured space for personal exploration and growth under the framework of Oregon law.
Are psilocybin services legal in Oregon?
Yes. Psilocybin services are legal in Oregon under Measure 109 and are regulated by the Oregon Health Authority. All sessions are conducted by trained, licensed facilitators who comply with strict state regulations. Participants must be 21 or older.
Do psilocybin services treat OCD or other medical conditions?
Psilocybin services are not intended as a substitute for medical or mental health treatment. While research into the potential benefits of psilocybin for OCD and other conditions is ongoing, our services are designed to provide a supportive environment for individual exploration, not medical treatment.
What does a psilocybin session involve?
Sessions typically include:
- Private psilocybin journey at a beautiful, licensed facility
- World-class screening & intake process
- Comprehensive preparation & integration program, including four hour-long preparation and integration sessions with your facilitator.
- Premier, lab tested, precisely dosed psilocybin
Are psilocybin services safe?
Psilocybin services in Oregon are regulated to ensure safety, including strict guidelines for facilitator training and session conduct. However, psilocybin’s effects vary depending on individual health, mindset, and setting. We encourage clients to consult a healthcare provider if they have concerns.
Who can participate in psilocybin services?
Psilocybin services are available to individuals aged 21 and older. Potential participants are encouraged to review their personal health considerations with a trusted medical professional before scheduling a session.
What is the role of preparation and integration?
Preparation helps clients approach their session with clear intentions, while integration provides time to process the experience. Both are essential for a meaningful and impactful journey.
How many sessions are needed?
The number of sessions varies by individual goals. Many studies use one or two psilocybin sessions spaced several weeks apart, but this depends on personal preferences and intentions.
How do psilocybin services differ from therapy?
Psilocybin services are not therapy. Facilitators create a supportive environment for the psilocybin experience but do not diagnose or treat any condition. Clients often use these services as part of a broader personal or therapeutic journey.
