Bend Inner Alchemy

A home, not a clinic. 🏡

Bend Inner Alchemy is in a craftsman house in Bend, surrounded by trees and a quiet yard. No waiting room, no fluorescent lights, no clipboards.

We serve people from across Central Oregon, the rest of the state and beyond. You don't need to live in Oregon to take part.

Come see if it feels right. Free 30-minute consultation, link in bio.

A journey can open a lot in a single day. What you do with it in the weeks after is where it takes root.

That's why every package includes a 2-hour integration session. It's time to talk it through, notice what stood out and turn insights into small, real changes.

A few simple integration practices:
✍️ Journaling the morning after
🚶 Slow walks without your phone
🎧 Re-listening to music from your session
💬 Talking it through with someone you trust (including your own therapist, if you have one)

Let's talk about cost, openly.

An individual journey with us is $3,200 (two prep sessions, the journey day and integration). We know that's a real number for a lot of people.

If cost is a barrier, ask us about financial aid options. One resource is the Psilocybin Access Fund from the nonprofit Sheri Eckert Foundation. It offers grants for people with financial need using Oregon's licensed program. Funding is limited right now, so apply early and talk to us about other options too.

Some journeys are better shared. 💛

Our couples journeys give two people a private room, a licensed facilitator and a shared day of reflection. It's a chance to slow down together, listen differently and explore what you want your relationship to feel like.

Preparation and integration are included.

Couples journeys are $5,000 for two. Book a free consultation together to see if it's a fit. Link in bio.

The question we hear most: "Wait, is this actually legal?"

Yes. Since Measure 109, Oregon has licensed psilocybin services through the Oregon Health Authority. A few basics:

✅ You must be 21+
✅ No prescription or medical referral required
✅ You don't need to be an Oregon resident
✅ A preparation session with a licensed facilitator comes first
✅ Products are purchased and consumed only at a licensed service center, with your facilitator present

Bend Inner Alchemy is a licensed service center (SC-289af77b).

You are never alone in the room.

In Oregon's licensed program, a trained facilitator is present for your entire journey session. At Bend Inner Alchemy that means someone who already knows you from your preparation sessions: your intentions, your questions, what helps you feel safe.

They're not there to steer the experience. They're there to hold the space, so you can let go.

Want to meet the team first? See bendinneralchemy.com/meet-the-team or book a free consult. Link in bio.

What actually happens when you work with us? Three parts, one package:

1️⃣ Preparation: two 60–90 minute sessions with your facilitator. You'll talk through intentions, questions and a safety plan.
2️⃣ Journey day: a 6–8 hour session in one of our private rooms, with your licensed facilitator present throughout.
3️⃣ Integration: a 2-hour session afterward to reflect and make sense of the experience.

An individual journey is $3,200 and includes all three parts.

Questions? Our free 30-minute consultation is the easiest place to start. Link in bio.

This is where the day unfolds. 🌿

A private, softly lit room in a Bend home, not a clinic. A couch built for resting, blankets, an eye mask, music, and a licensed facilitator nearby the entire time.

We designed every corner of our journey rooms so you can stop scanning the room and simply settle in.

Psychedelic medicine continues to move into the mainstream.

A new Washington Post story follows a woman who lived for years with persistent headaches, fatigue and brain fog following treatment for Lyme disease — and her experience participating in a Johns Hopkins study involving supervised psilocybin sessions.

The small pilot study followed 20 participants with persistent symptoms after Lyme disease treatment. Six months after receiving psilocybin, participants reported an average reduction of approximately 40% in their overall symptoms, along with improvements in energy, sleep and mood.

The study was small and did not include a control group, so researchers cannot say that psilocybin caused these improvements. But the findings add to a growing body of research examining how psychedelic experiences may affect the brain, neuroplasticity, mental health and our relationship with chronic illness.

Perhaps one of the most interesting parts of the story wasn't simply symptom relief.

It was a change in perspective.

The woman featured in the article described the experience as fundamentally changing how she copes with illness and how she sees herself in the world.

That distinction between simply treating symptoms and exploring deeper healing is one of the reasons this field deserves thoughtful, responsible research.

We’re encouraged to see conversations around psilocybin becoming increasingly grounded in science, safety, preparation and professional support.

Heres a little "peek behind the curtain" on what we do and how we do it.

Psilocybin-assisted therapy is legal in three states, but access has so far been limited and expensive.
