5-Day All-Inclusive Oregon Psilocybin Retreat in Nature: 2x Licensed & Regulated 🍄 Journeys

My story begins in the high mountains of Colorado where I grew up among the pines, alpine lakes, and towering peaks of the Rockies. The pursuit of a college education brought me to California and to UC Santa Cruz where I loved the culture and community but missed the mountains and four seasons. When on June 10, 1989, I first stepped foot in Ashland I knew I had found my home though it took many years to make the changes necessary to be able to make the move. Until I could, I dedicated myself to expanding my work with psychedelic medicines through the guidance and mentoring provided by elders and plant-medicine wisdom-keepers in California. I also completed my graduate training and then pursued training in psychedelic therapies and research. In 2019, I received my Certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies and Research from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, completed parts A-D of MAPS’ MDMA training, and received my Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy certification through the Ketamine Training Center in San Anselmo, California. In 2022 I received my Psychedelic-Assisted Facilitation (PAF) certification as a member of InnerTrek’s inaugural class and in 2023 became an Oregon-licensed Psilocybin-Assisted Facilitator.

Since 2018, Myles Katz has dedicated himself to advancing the field of legal psilocybin experiences. He co-founded The Synthesis Institute in Amsterdam, where he helped develop one of the world’s first legal psychedelic service models. This initiative supported over 1,000 individuals on their wellness journeys and included a significant partnership with Imperial College London, enriching his understanding of effective psychedelic practices. His experience with Synthesis led to an invitation onto the board of the Oregon Psilocybin Training Alliance (OPTA) and various Rule Advisory Committees for the Oregon Health Authority (OHA), where he helps shape the framework for Oregon’s legal psilocybin services. Through the ongoing exploration of psychedelics across the globe and under the mentorship of inspirational teachers over the following eight years, Myles has developed a deep appreciation for both the power of the psychedelic experience itself and the neuroplasticity it fosters. This neuroplasticity helps individuals become open and receptive to things that otherwise feel out of reach or inaccessible due to the noise of our chaotic, technology-overloaded modern world. It has been pivotal in helping him and others make meaningful, lasting changes in the months following the psychedelic journey that once seemed impossible. He believes that knowing how to work with this neuroplasticity is key to using psychedelics as a tool to support the journey from ‘functioning’ to ‘flourishing.’ Myles’s own journey with psychedelics began at the age of 28 when he overcame his addiction to alcohol and lifted the fog of depression that had shrouded his life since the passing of his mother when he was 15. This profound experience revealed the incredible potential of psychedelics to facilitate deep healing and transformation. He is passionate and experienced in guiding individuals on their first therapeutic and inward psilocybin journeys. His goal is to help others not just make the changes they seek today but to embark on a conscious healing journey that transforms their lives. With the Hi-U Foundation and Confluence Retreats – the nonprofit he founded and conducts his facilitation practice through – Myles utilizes his expertise to create nature-based, multi-modality psilocybin retreats within Oregon’s legal framework. These retreats are enhanced by partnerships with indigenous communities and are grounded in validated therapeutic practices, reflecting his dedication to facilitating profound personal growth and healing. At Omnia, he focuses on providing one-on-one client sessions, bringing elements of their transformative retreat experiences into a more traditional setting to maximize the therapeutic benefits of psilocybin.

Thundereater is a member of the indigenous Shasta Nation, White Eagle Clan. A 65-year old great grandfather, he has lived a very full life including serving in the US military abroad, working with plant medicines and many trainings in the realms of spirituality and healing. Most recently, by trade, he is a stone mason, and the visionary and creator of the Sacred Land’s magical Labyrinth.

As a Native American and Tibetan shaman, Thundereater has spent the last 20 years facilitating full moon healing circles at Mt. Shasta, California bringing together people of different cultures and religious frames of reference to promote the Peace and Healing of all.

Thundereater’s ancestors came to this Sacred Land (Ashland, Oregon) to heal to heal with the Hi-U-Skookum medicine, and he came to this land to play as a child. He has now returned as an Elder to help usher in the next iteration of the land’s journey and help preserve it as a place of healing for all in perpetuity.

I have been serving the wellness industry for over 13 years as a Women’s Empowerment Coach, Trauma-Informed Emotional Healer, Shamanic Reiki Master, Transformational Breathwork Facilitator, E-RYT 500 YogaWorks Teacher Trainer, Medicine Woman and Mama. My signature program, Unleash the Priestess Within + Thrive, empowers the awakened woman on a healing path to unleash her passions, power and purpose into the world and thrive! I also have a podcast by the same name called "Unleash the Priestess", with She Speaks Talk Radio, as well as a co-authored book called, "Manifest Like a Goddess" that launched on 2-22-22! I have a Facebook community called "The Priestess Within Sisterhood" in which I offer Goddess Full & New Moon Gatherings. I also offer Coaching, Intuitive Healings, Transformational Breathwork + Sound Healing Ceremonies, Women’s Empowerment Retreats, and workshops at large festivals like Burning Man, Lightning in a Bottle, Symbiosis, and Oregon Eclipse Festivals. For over two decades, I’ve been mentoring, healing and teaching with highly respected coaches, yogis, shamans, and healers in the US and Peru. I’ve worked with thousands of students and clients over this time in their healing process through plant medicine facilitation, my workshops and trainings privately and at large festivals. As a trauma survivor and thriver, I’ve come to understand through my own deep healing journey that we all have very specific core wound beliefs in our subconscious that we need to work through with attention, accountability, compassion, sincerity, and love. I create sacred ceremonial space for the deep inner work needed to initiate into higher states of consciousness, by bridging the gap between the subconscious programs and the conscious mind through integrative transformative healing techniques and coaching. These tools empower you to heal the past in a sustainable and lasting way allowing you to more fully step into the present and align with your purpose. I’ve become highly adept, sensitive and intuitive through this journey and thus very skilled at customizing programs with incredibly transformational results. Your journey begins with a deep alchemical healing process to discover your childhood programs. These programs affect all levels of your development through the architecture of the chakra energy system. We examine the chakras through this programming lens to create an understanding of our belief systems and how that’s affecting our body-mind-spiritual balance now. This is a holistic and integrated approach to coaching and healing. These spiritual teachings are grounded in processes that create real tangible results. Let's create your life vision with tangible, actionable steps so you can thrive.
