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

Hamish Sullivan is the catering and hospitality manager for our psilocybin retreats — stewarding both the meals and your overall comfort with calm, precise care. A Michelin‑star–winning restaurant leader, he blends modern European sensibilities with the wild generosity of the Pacific Northwest, crafting seasonally appropriate menus—think spring greens and coastal herbs, summer berries and cold-water fish, autumn broths and forest mushrooms, winter roots and mineral-rich tonics. Beyond the plate, Hamish is your point person for hospitality: intake of dietary needs, allergy safety, tea and hydration rituals, gentle pacing, clear labeling, and on‑the‑spot adjustments throughout your journey. He coordinates front‑of‑house, catering, and beverage teams and handles logistics questions so everything feels effortless, nourishing, and truly held.

Mandy is a guiding light in the world of inner work, holding a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies and license credentials as a psychotherapist in Oregon and California. She is also a licensed psilocybin-assisted therapy facilitator in Oregon. Since 2024, Mandy has been shaping the next generation of healers as a trainer for this kind of guided, psychedelic-assisted work at Fluence Training, where she mentors a cohort of trainees and co-leads an intimate, in-person experimental retreat. With a focus on developmental trauma, relationship and attachment challenges, and substance use, Mandy approaches care through a trauma-informed, harm-reduction lens. Her warmth, grounded presence, and intuitive clarity help clients meet themselves with compassion as they venture into the unfamiliar states that psilocybin can reveal. Mandy emphasizes careful attunement to safety and intention, creating spaces where clients feel welcomed to surrender to the journey with curiosity and courage. She believes that a strong therapeutic bond is a cornerstone of the powerful outcomes this guided psychedelic process can unlock, and she makes cultivating that connection a priority at every stage of treatment. As a retreat leader, Mandy holds space for vulnerability to flourish, guiding participants toward deeper insight, resilience, and embodying their emerged truths.

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.
