About this Retreat
Eric has been a professional river guide since his teens, and facilitating nature connection experiences since he graduated with his M.A. in Cultural & Psychological studies with a specialty in Ecopsychology. When psilocybin journeys became legal in Oregon, it was a natural fit.
In 2023, the first year Oregon officially began offering legal psilocybin services, Eric completed his psilocybin facilitation training at InnerTrek.
Eric is here for the free thinkers, adventurers, explorers and radical agents of change, even those who don't know how to live that into being. Those who know things are off and want to break free from the matrix, but have had trouble finding a path that calls the core of their being. Those who have seen through the false rewards of our material culture, but still feel burdened by the weight of expectations to conform to it. And the sensitive, particularly men, attuned to the suffering of other people and beings, the harsh realities of the world, the role they play, the guilt that goes along with the privilege they never asked for, and struggle to deal with it all and try and make something better in the process.
Megan has been exploring healing and self-awareness through meditation, nature, yoga, psychedelics, and expressive arts for almost 30 years. Her experiences began with personal experimentation and were validated through the guidance of teachers at the San Francisco Zen Center and the California Institute For Integral Studies in her early twenties. Her effort toward personal growth is ongoing and continues today.
Megan is now a Licensed Marriage, Couple, and Family Therapist and a Licensed Psilocybin Facilitator. She works from a systemic, socially just lens to help others tap into their most authentic expression of self and orient their place in the world so they may feel fulfilled, at peace, and connected.
Megan has a collaborative, non-hierarchical approach and aims to work alongside you throughout your journey to help you access and integrate what is most meaningful to you.

Evelyn's Background
Evelyn studied psychology, sociology, anthropology, and philosophy, worked as a peer counselor with at-risk youths, and earned a degree in Social Sciences from Portland State University. She feels fortunate to have learned from experienced guides, mentors, counselors, Indigenous leaders, and her mother, a classically trained therapist.
Upon the legalization of psilocybin-assisted therapy in Oregon, Evelyn became one of the first people to acquire OHA-approved training through the Changa Institute. She began working in Jamaica, then in Oregon soon after service centers began opening their doors. She is one of the most experienced facilitators in the state with the legal model of psilocybin
Evelyn's Approach
Leslie is a board-certified Family Medicine/Obstetrics physician and Licensed Psilocybin Facilitator. She pivoted her career to offer psychedelic-assisted therapy after working in primary care and obstetrics in the Salem, Oregon, community for over a decade.
As a primary care physician, she witnessed her patients struggle with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and PTSD and how the current medical system continued to fail as they encountered barriers to care and tried multiple medications without relief. While searching for a better option for her patients, she experienced how psychedelics helped to heal her own trauma and improve her mental health. She wanted to be able to offer this type of healing to her patients, as well.
Driven by her belief that everyone deserves that same level of healing in a way that integrates mind, body, and spirit, she completed the InnerTrek Psilocybin Facilitator Program in December 2023. She continues to be amazed by the parallels experienced in birth work and rebirth work through psychedelics. She believes that the path to healing is reconnecting to our own Inner Healer and beloved Mother Earth.
Details of this retreat
Looking for a guided psilocybin experience paired with several days immersed in wild nature?
This is something far deeper than a retreat.
This journey combines a state-licensed psilocybin experience in Portland with three days of nature-based integration beside a Cascade alpine lake surrounded by old-growth forest. The experience is designed to help you slow down, reconnect, reflect, and meaningfully integrate what emerges during the journey.
Rather than following a rigid retreat structure, we create a flexible and supportive container that allows your experience to unfold naturally. You’ll have access to guided integration practices, optional yoga and movement, group sharing circles, solitude in nature, and supportive facilitators throughout the process.
The setting itself is an essential part of the experience. Time spent near alpine water, beneath towering trees, and away from the noise of everyday life creates ideal conditions for insight, grounding, nervous system regulation, and meaningful personal reflection.
This retreat is welcoming, adaptable, and designed to meet people where they are. Whether you are seeking healing, clarity, reconnection, life direction, emotional processing, or simply a deeper relationship with yourself and the natural world, the journey can support many different intentions.

The Experience
Arrival in Portland
After arriving in Portland, transportation is provided to your accommodations. The group gathers for an opening circle where participants can share intentions, connect with one another, and settle into the experience together.
That evening includes dinner, optional yoga, and time to speak privately with facilitators if needed.
Psilocybin Ceremony
The following day, we travel to a licensed Oregon psilocybin service center for the medicine experience. Experienced facilitators support participants throughout the journey in a safe, legal, and professionally held environment.
Following the ceremony, we return to Portland for rest, nourishment, and quiet reflection.
Into the Cascades
The next morning, we leave the city behind and head into the mountains for several days of integration in nature.
Along the way, we may stop at waterfalls, forest trails, or quiet sit spots in the Columbia Gorge and Cascade forests. Afternoons are spent beside a beautiful alpine lake where you can swim, paddle board, relax in a hammock, journal, or simply absorb the stillness of the natural world.
Integration is a central focus of the retreat. Nature offers space to process insights, emotions, and realizations without the constant distractions of modern life. The combination of wilderness immersion, supportive community, movement practices, and reflective space helps many participants deepen and carry forward the benefits of the experience.
About the Experience
The retreat is guided by a team of experienced facilitators and outdoor guides.
Eric, who leads the wilderness and integration elements of the journey, has a background in wilderness therapy and holds a master’s degree in Ecopsychology. His work focuses on helping people deepen their relationship with both the natural world and themselves through direct experience in wild places.
Optional River Rafting
On the final morning, participants may choose to return directly to Portland or join an optional rafting trip on the White Salmon River, a beautiful glacial river flowing through volcanic canyon landscapes beneath Mount Adams.

Schedule
Each day is different.
Day 1: Gathering & Preparation - We can pick you up anywhere in Portland, including the airport, and bring you to the place. We'll have a group check-in, yoga, and some time for individual preparations.
Day 2: Medicine Day - After a light, medicine-friendly breakfast and an optional yoga session, we travel to a service center in Portland for the psilocybin ceremony. We return to our accommodations and rest that night.
Day 3: Nature Connection & Integration Day 1- After breakfast and yoga, we leave for our Cascade Lake Experience. We do a short waterfall hike on the way. Upon arriving, we go over some ground rules, ways to connect, and more. You're then free to go to your tent and sit with the rhythms of the place, or hang with us in the group/social area.
Day 4: Cascade Camp Day 2 - This is a day unlike any other in most people's lives. You wake up in nature and have no schedule. There are things you can do, but nothing you have to. The whole point of the day is to connect, and you have the time, space, and guides to help you do it.
We do offer yoga and food, there are paddleboards, you can check-in, and, of course, we can give you practices. You'll likely come into the day with some thoughts about that. But mainly, just chill. Sit with the world on its terms. Allow your consciousness to roam in this wild landscape, and start to reprogram the way you understand life.
That evening we have an extended integration & sharing circle.
Day 5: -Final day: After breakfast and a morning stretch on the SUPs or on land and a closing circle, we head out of camp. You have the option of going down the White Salmon River with Eric as your guide. It is gorgeous and exciting. You can also just hop a ride straight back to town.
