During this comprehensive consultation we will walk through all the factors that together contribute to whether or not it could be a good fit for you to work with psilocybin (or perhaps another psychedelic) at this point on your journey. We will discuss each factor in depth as well as, when appropriate, ways to enhance the levels of support within a given factor. Factors we will discuss include but are not limited to your medical and mental health, current medications and supplements, current care plans and treatment teams, support structures, lifestyle factors, previous experience with psychedelics or other substances, and most importantly your dreams, desires, hopes and aspirations.

These calls are required in order to qualify for a participating in a psilocybin program. However, they are also offered free of charge for anyone simply curious about working with psychedelics as part of their recovery.

Once you have completed a free Consultation Call the next step is to educate and empower your community in the process of your recovery journey with psilocybin. One of the most essential components of recovery (and of a successfully integrated psilocybin experience) is having the support, understanding and encouragement of others in your community. This Community Preparation Call is conducted in order to provide important education for your loved ones, treatment team and recovery allies about working with psilocybin — including how to better support you during the process. During this call we will go over, in detail, exactly what you can expect during the preparation, administration and integration phases of the program, what you might experience, the layers of support that will be available to you along the way, potential risks and benefits of working with psilocybin, and best practices to increase the likelihood of an optimal outcome.

These calls are also offered complimentary as a way of supporting both you and your loved ones on your journey of recovery and providing broader education about working effectively with psychedelics.

These calls usually include, but are not limited to, spouses, parents, siblings, treatment team members, close friends, mentors and sponsors. Clients will identify these individuals during the initial Consultation Call as well as will be responsible for inviting them to the Community Preparation Call.

Once you have completed both your Consultation Call and Community Preparation Call you are eligible for program enrollment, provided the outcomes of the prior two calls qualified psilocybin as a potentially safe and effective treatment for you at this time.

During enrollment we will compose a 'Program Plan’ that will include details about how long the preparation phase will be, how frequently we will meet, any supplementary interventions we agree together would add support and build additional safety into the process, and we will outline some shared agreements to help facilitate safe and transformational space during the course of the program.

A deposit equal to 50% of the total program cost and signing of the Client Services Agreement is due to complete program enrollment.

The preparation phase of the process is designed to support client's in cultivating confidence and trust in themselves, their facilitator and the process of working with psilocybin. The primary outcome of this phase is that clients feel ready to enter the administration phase, where they will take psilocybin. Preparation is uniquely tailored each individual and their unique needs, desires and preferences, the result of which is often a customized administration environment. Preparation at Ursula + Pearl often includes some degree of psycho-education about psilocybin, its potential effects, risks and benefits along with, importantly, relationship and trust building with the facilitator. Preparation can also include elements of preparing to work with resistance, parts work, desire and values mapping, motivational interviewing, somatic integration, spiritual support and community empowerment.

The specific length of the preparation phase will be recommended during Program Enrollment based on the outcomes of the Consultation Call and the Community Preparation Call, however a minimum trajectory of four 60-minute calls spread over 4 consecutive weeks leading up to the Administration Phase is the standard minimum.

The second 50% of the total program cost is due to be remitted upon completion of the Preparation Phase and prior to Administration.

'Adminstration’ is the technical term used in the Oregon Psilocybin Services nomenclature to refer to the sessions in which you will actually take psilocybin, these will be your journey sessions.

There are several options for these sessions which can be dictated by your needs, desires, and what we determine together will likely be the most effective for your unique program. For example, individual 1-1 sessions are possible, as is potentially participating in a 5-day group retreat (with 7 other participants), or a combination of the two.

Administration sessions (psilocybin journeys) generally last approximately 6 hours, during which time you will take psilocybin mushrooms, in an amount/dose to be determined in collaboration with your facilitator, during the Preparation Phase.

Administration sessions are hosted in Ashland, Oregon in partnership with Omnia Group Ashland, a licensed psilocybin service center. Depending on your needs or wishes, programs may also include accommodations and/or catering, as well as transportation to and from the service center.

The integration phase of the process is designed to support clients in making sense of their psilocybin experience and translating any insights, shifts or challenges into meaningful, sustainable change in daily life, including in their relationship with food, body and self. The primary outcome of this phase is that clients feel accompanied, grounded and empowered as they weave what emerged in their session into their existing treatment plan, values and recovery goals. Integration is uniquely tailored to each individual and their unique needs, capacities and circumstances, and often includes a collaborative pacing process so that changes unfold in a way that feels safe and manageable. Integration often includes some degree of reflection and meaning-making, practices to support nervous system regulation, and practical action steps to further progress along the client's desired path, alongside ongoing relationship and trust building with the facilitator. Integration can also include elements such as parts work, somatic and mindfulness practices, values and motivation mapping, repair and boundary work in relationships, spiritual support, and community-based integration calls or circles when appropriate.

The length of the Integration Phase will be agreed upon during Program Enrollment, with the minimum program length consisting of four 90-minute calls, spread out over 8 weeks following Administration. However, clients often benefit from longer-term integration trajectories with the specific cadence of sessions (e.g. every 2 weeks) decided upon based on the outcomes of the administration session and the client’s ongoing needs and support network. The actual length of the Integration Phase for a particular client will be agreed upon during Program Enrollment.

Integration is on-going process and something we do on a consistent basis, whether we are integrating from a psilocybin journey specifically or not. As a participant in our programs you will always remain a client and can reach out for additional support at any time.

Additionally, if you volunteered to participate in an ongoing research study we will conduct regular follow ups with you according to the study timeline.

Finally, as part of our commitment to making these experiences more accessible, we offer free monthly group integration circles and breathwork sessions that are open to all to attend.
