What are Psilocybin Mushrooms?
Psilocybin mushrooms, often referred to as "magic mushrooms," contain the naturally occurring hallucinogenic compound psilocybin. This compound is a psychoactive tryptamine found in nearly 200 species of mushrooms that grow across the globe. Psilocybin-containing mushrooms have been consumed by various cultures in many different parts of the world for thousands of years. As a classic psychedelic, psilocybin has played a significant role in religious ceremonies and has been thoroughly investigated for its medicinal value by universities such as Harvard, Stanford, Cambridge, and is currently being researched at John Hopkins University and the Imperial College of London.
What to Expect from a Psilocybin Support Session
Expeditions are typically scheduled as full-day sessions, planned for your well-being and growth. Our sessions are scheduled for eight hours, providing ample time for preparation, an immersive journey, and integration. We aim to provide ceremonies conveniently held in the comfort of your own home. The journey involves intentionality, deep introspection, and guided support throughout the experience. Once ready, you'll be invited to consume the medicine and lie down with your eyes closed to turn inward. Your guide will support you as you ease into the psychedelic experience, ensuring safety and support throughout the journey. Post-session, clients have time for integration and sharing.
The Experience of Psilocybin Mushrooms
When ingested, the body converts psilocybin into psilocin, the primary psychoactive agent responsible for the profound psychedelic effects. The effects typically onset within 20 to 40 minutes after ingestion. These effects can include:
- Heightened sensory perception
- Cathartic emotional release and joy
- Increased heart rate and somatic awareness
- Vivid visual, spatial, and time distortions
- Enhanced creativity and insight

Research shows that psilocybin is generally safe when used in controlled settings. We conduct thorough screenings to ensure both physical and psychological readiness for the experience.

Legal, Ethical Considerations, and Supported Use of Psilocybin Mushrooms
Clients must source their own psychedelic medicine. We assist with support services, harm reduction, and educational resources. We do not provide or sell psilocybin or any other psychedelics. We are not affiliated with any suppliers or retailers in any capacity. Our practices strictly adhere to all local, Arizona State, and federal laws and regulations.
Microdosing with Psilocybin
Microdosing involves taking very low, sub-perceptual doses of psilocybin to promote neurological health and overall well-being. The aim is not to experience a full psychedelic trip but rather to benefit from subtle cognitive, emotional, or creative enhancements. Users often report improved mood, increased focus, creativity, and productivity without the hallucinogenic effects associated with larger doses. Microdosing regimens usually involve taking the substance every few days or on a specific schedule, with the goal of integrating these benefits into daily life. Our Microdose and Harm Reduction Education provide guidance on safe and effective microdosing practices.
