Healing is deeply personal, but it doesn't always have to happen alone.
There’s something beautiful about gathering with others who share an intention to explore, heal, and grow. Each person arrives with their own story, hopes, and path. Yet within a group, we can find connection in our shared humanity.
At Prism Bend, I offer small, intentionally guided group psilocybin journeys at Bendable, a licensed service center in downtown Bend, Oregon. These experiences include individualized preparation, compassionate facilitation, and meaningful integration in a supportive setting.
Whether you're new to psilocybin or returning, a group journey offers another way to experience this kind of therapeutic psychedelic work.
The Power of Journeying Together
A group psilocybin journey is not about everyone having the same experience. What makes group journeys special is the opportunity to move through this experience alongside others, with the comfort of knowing you're not alone.
A Group Journey May Offer…
Connection: A sense of belonging through a meaningful shared experience.
Perspective: Reflect on your life, relationships, and patterns in new ways.
Compassion: Space to meet yourself and others with greater understanding.
Community: The possibility of building supportive connections.
The intention is to support both individual and collective exploration, self-discovery, and personal growth. Although participants share the environment, music, and general schedule, the inner journey remains deeply individual. Psilocybin experiences vary, and outcomes are not guaranteed.
Upcoming Group Psilocybin Journeys
Winter Solstice | Monday, December 21, 2026
A Gathering for Reflection, Renewal & New Beginnings
The winter solstice marks the longest night of the year and the gradual return of light. It's a natural invitation to turn inward, honor what has been, and make space for what’s emerging. We'll gather with the intention of welcoming this seasonal transition through reflection, connection, and personal exploration.
Throughout the journey, I'll gently weave in elements of sound therapy, including singing bowls, tuning forks, and other tools, to complement the music and support relaxation, reflection, and renewal.

A Journey Within a Shared Experience
I intentionally keep groups small to offer personalized attention while maintaining the intimacy and connection of a shared setting.
Individual Preparation | 1 Hour, Zoom
We'll meet privately to explore your intentions, discuss your history and expectations, prepare for the experience, and answer questions.
Group Preparation | 1 Hour, Zoom
Pre-journey, we'll gather as a group to connect, establish shared agreements, discuss the experience, and create a foundation of trust and respect.
Psilocybin Journey | 6-8 hours, Licensed Facility
On your Journey Day, you'll be welcomed into a comfortable, cozy space. Each participant receives individually selected psilocybin strains and dosing within legal limits. I'll guide the experience with a gentle presence, offering support while allowing space for your process to unfold.
Group Integration | 2 Hours, Zoom
Post-journey, we'll reconnect as a group to reflect on our experiences, explore meaningful insights, and bring what we've learned into daily life.
Is a Group Journey Right for You?
Group journeys can be meaningful for both first-time and experienced participants. A group journey offers the opportunity to have an inner experience alongside others, with the potential for shared connection and reflection. An individual journey offers greater privacy, flexibility, and personalized attention.
Neither is inherently better or more transformative. The best choice depends on your intentions, comfort level, and support needs.
A shared setting involves other people’s presence, sounds, movements, and emotions. While some find this comforting, others may prefer a private experience. Group work also requires respect for others' experiences and boundaries.
If you feel called to explore psilocybin, schedule a free consultation. We'll explore your questions and determine whether a group journey aligns with your goals.
