Epic Mushrooms, Rafting & Crater Lake Journey in Oregon!

This once in a lifetime journey brings you through enchanted forests, emerald rivers, arid canyons, and a lake in the clouds, as your inner landscape becomes deeply transformed with the incredible powers of magic mushrooms!

Mushrooms and nature just go together, and fortunately Oregon is the place that psilocybin is now legal, because the nature here is on another level!

Crater Lake was once Mt. Mazama, a snow capped volcano, like Mt. Hood, Mt. Shasta, or Rainer. It then erupted thousands of years ago, and left a massive crater in the middle of the mountain, now filled with gorgeous blue water! There truly is no place like it on earth!

Below, the North Umpqua Valley has been sculpted for millions of years by this and other lava flows, and the river that carves through it. Massive rock spires line the river canyon, which is blanketed by an enchanted feeling Pacific Northwest Forest. We camp along the river 2 nights so you can fully integrate your Psychedelic Journey.

Eric has a background in wilderness therapy and a master's in Ecopsychology, and recognized this river and the journey with it as the ideal place to do something like this for years before the opportunity became available. The rafting shifts you into a flowing state of consciousness, not getting in vehicles or being on screens will allow you to create new mental patterns. And you can decide how to deepen into the nature connection portion of the experience.

This journey is done in a group setting. You are able to meet the group online beforehand and process some things that arise if you chose. We hold online groups seasonally, as well as one group prep just before the journey. Plus, you will also have access to the larger online medicine community for real-world bonds and further integration opportunities!

Journey Flow:

Upon booking, you will go through the initial exploration process, to make sure the fit is right for everyone.

You'll be part of a group and preparation session, and have an individual one. You will also have access to seasonal groups, depending on how early you sign up.

Day 1 - Smith Rock

Our first stop is the famous Smith Rock, an arid canyon on Oregon's desert side of the Cascade Mountains. Eric and the team of licensed psilocybin facilitators will hold our first in-person circle here. This is a chance to share what you are bringing into the journey, and witness others sharing their stories. You can go for a 5 mile day hike, or relax by the river and talk more. Being in nature during the preparation process for psilocybin helps to open the conscious experience, and ground you.

In the evening, we will stay in shared accommodations in the Bend area. We'll have yoga and hold another circle in preparation for the upcoming journey. You can also meet with your facilitator privately.

Day 2 - Medicine Day

We wake up with a light breakfast and optional yoga and then move to the service center for the magic mushroom part of the experience with your facilitator.

On the second day we will go to a service center in Bend for the psilocybin session.

During the psilocybin session, you will be able to chose your dose, measured in actual psilocybin content rather than mushroom weight. Everything comes from licensed facilities with lab tested potency, and you'll be in the care of our loving facilitators and the small group of folks who are on the journey with you.

You must purchase a facilitated mushroom experience separately, meaning the room and the medicine. The price listed includes our incredible, state-licensed facilitator's services.

We spend the night in Bend again to rest before moving on to our next spot.

Day 3 - Crater Lake

We start the day slowly, with breakfast in Bend. We pack up and move on afterward.

We visit Crater Lake in the afternoon and hang out there. This was a volcano the size of Mt. Rainier, Mt. Hood, or Mt. Shasta that erupted and blew its entire top off. Now, a massive, deep lake sits in the center of the mountain, a place unlike anywhere else on earth! It's a great spot to sit and let the magic of the place sweep over you as the gust of the wind sweeps across the lake. There's also an optional hike up one of the peaks.

After our time there, we start our descent into the Umpqua Valley. We set up camp riverside that night. All you need is to bring a sleeping bag or pick from one of our options. This will be our extended time in the natural world, and there will be plenty of chances to share what arises for you.

*We'll cook breakfast and dinner, and you'll have a bag lunch. You can also purchase an excellent lunch at Crater Lake Lodge.

Day 4 - Exploring The Umpqua Valley

The day begins at the campground for breakfast, and we check out the waterfall-lined North Umpqua Valley.

With fresh springs sprouting right out of the ground, a ton of different falls, and even hot springs on the side of the river. There's more to do here than we have time for!

In the afternoon, we launch the rafts on the river for the first two days. The North Umpqua, a.k.a. the Emerald Jewel, is an incredible river lined by the iconic PNW forests that Oregon is famous for! It's a class III, beginner-friendly river yet still exciting, with plenty of places to play and swim. Being on the river invites a conscious flow and plenty of excitement!

That night we camp the riverside. We have a final circle, and people choose how they spend their last night (in community, by themselves in this deep, gorgeous nature, or a mix).

*All meals provided.

Day 5 - Finish Rafting and Return

On the final day of this epic journey, we start with breakfast, have a final circle at camp, and raft through the morning. We close with lunch at the delicious Steamboat Inn or snacks on the road. We then take you back to either Bend or Portland.

*Breakfast Included
