Mycelia: Women's Psilocybin Group

A small group psilocybin experience for women in Bend, Oregon. Every Mycelia group is co-facilitated by Melinda Halpern and Lynne Herbert, both licensed psilocybin facilitators and licensed therapists with over 20 years of clinical experience each. Groups are capped at 4 to 6 participants. The format spans several weeks. You'll start with two 90-minute preparation sessions (virtual or in-person depending on the group), then come together for a full-day guided psilocybin journey at Drop Thesis, a licensed service center in Bend. Afterward, two 90-minute integration sessions are spaced a week apart to help you process what came up and carry it forward. Mycelia is built on the idea that group work offers something individual sessions can't: the experience of being witnessed, the perspective of other women navigating their own journeys, and the kind of relational insight that only surfaces when you're held in community. The name comes from mycelium, the hidden network beneath the forest floor that connects and nourishes everything it touches. That's the model here: individual growth held within a supportive, interwoven community.
