Resilient Heart: A Women's Psilocybin Retreat for Sacred Healing and Self-Discovery

Michelle Roberts is a retreat leader who honors the deep, healing wisdom that lives inside every woman, guiding them through sacred psilocybin journeys with warmth, rigor, and heart. She has spent a lifetime studying how our past shapes our present, and she believes healing is a blend of soul and science—a delicate conversation between inner knowing and proven practices. With a background as a journalist, psychotherapist, and professor, she brings a unique blend of storytelling, clinical insight, and scholarly rigor to her own women’s psilocybin retreats. Her early work laid the groundwork for understanding how relational trauma and early-life experiences shape intimate connections, and over the years she’s expanded that lens to create spaces where women can safely explore, unburden, and reconnect with their authentic flourishing. She is one of the first licensed psilocybin facilitators in Oregon, having led therapeutic journeys for more than a hundred people, mostly women, including several intimate, high-end retreats in Bend, Oregon. Her approach draws on EMDR, IFS, somatic trauma therapies, and a solid foundation in traumatic stress studies, all woven together with compassionate presence and ethical care. She holds a Doctorate in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and teaches psychopathology and diagnosis, continually grounding their work in evidence and compassion. Her credentials include advanced training in psychedelic-assisted therapy, licensure to practice psychotherapy in Missouri and Oregon, and board-certified specialization in trauma, reflecting a long-standing commitment to healing from complex trauma. At heart, she believes women are the authors of their own healing narratives, equipped with inner wisdom and the courage to reimagine relationships, self-worth, and sightlines to joy. If you’re seeking a retreat that honors your whole self—where perceptive inquiry meets safe, structured facilitation, and where the medicine of ceremony pairs with science-backed practice—you’ll find a compassionate guide in her, inviting you to listen deeply, heal boldly, and return home to your truest, most luminous self.
