Common Questions About Our Psilocybin Services

  • image/svg+xmlimage/svg+xml
    01. Why Choose Satya?

    We like to believe we are the best Psilocybin Service Center in the world.  Our  5 Star Google Reviews are a testimony to what you can expect from Satya and from your facilitator/guide.  We strongly recommend you research every option, and we think Google Reviews are the best indicator of quality at this early stage of the “industry.”

    The facilitators working at Satya are Independent Service Providers.  They are the most experienced in the State, with several facilitators having seen over a hundred clients in the past year.

    Every client develops a custom-tailored program to have the best opportunity to find the healing they seek.

    We certainly hope you choose Satya for a life changing experience.  If you have any questions we will be delighted to answer them immediately.

    02. Do I Need More than One Session (should I book two)?

    We believe the answer is NO, you do not need two sessions.  We suggest a single session.  After that time you will have a very clear idea of the benefits of psilocybin and if you need to proceed then you will be much more informed on how to proceed.  95% of the people who have an intense psilocybin experience require time to “integrate” that experience prior to doing another intense journey.  So you will want to take your time in the integration phase.

  • image/svg+xmlimage/svg+xml
    03. Will it Work for Me?

    Everyone is different.  Research conducted by respected institutions shows significant improvements in depression, anxiety, OCD, addiction, and existential crisis.

    The estimated results we have seen to date are excellent, with over 1,000 clients:

    Complete Elimination of Symptoms:     20%

    Significant Reduction in Symptoms:      25%

    Reduction in Symptoms:                           35%

    Little to no Improvement:                         20%

    04. Why is Satya’s Price for Psilocybin So Low?

    We grow all of our mushrooms to the highest “organic” standards.  Mushrooms do not cost much to grow.  We have decided to pass the cost, plus a small markup, to clients.  The resultant cost is $21.74 for up to 50mg of psilocybin.  There is a 15% State tax and that makes the cost to you $25.

    We also believe other service center clients should have the same opportunity to allow clients affordable mushrooms.  As a result we sell psilocybin at $0.80 per mg, or $40 wholesale for 50mg to a number of other service centers in the State.

  • image/svg+xmlimage/svg+xml
    05. Does spending more on psilocybin services = better results?

    People do sometimes receive benefit going the D-I-Y route and we believe the success rate is under 5%.

    We are one of the lowest cost options in the State of Oregon.

    We have the most experienced facilitators in the State, some have seen over 100 clients.

    We believe our process gives you the best chance of success: money well spent.

  • image/svg+xmlimage/svg+xml
    06. Do I Need to Stop Taking My Medicine?

    That is up to you and your doctor.

    We take people as they come.  We believe up to 95% of the clients we see have not changed their prescription medications prior to coming.

    That being said, we believe your results could be much better if you do make adjustments: consult with your doctor.

  • image/svg+xmlimage/svg+xml
    07. How Much Psilocybin Will I Take?

    The amount of psilocybin you will take is determined by you and your facilitator.  The choice depends upon:

    Your condition(s) and medications you take,

    Your prior experience with psychedelics,

    Your intention,

    The medications you may be taking (SSRI’s)

    A strategy will be developed for your specific needs and situation.

    The typical dose strategy involves starting with a preliminary amount (say 10mg of psilocybin or 1 gram of mushrooms).

    After an hour a “boost dose” may be given after you see what the effects are.

    Our goal is for you to reach the experience level you need: not too high and not too low.

    We also advise that consuming amounts greater than 35mg are VERY LARGE doses and careful consideration should be given to the decision to take large doses.

  • image/svg+xmlimage/svg+xml
    08. What is the Maximum Dose I Can Receive?

    The maximum dose is 50mg of psilocybin which is twice the typical therapeutic amount referenced in medical research.

    The dosing choices are made between you and your facilitator after careful consideration.

  • image/svg+xmlimage/svg+xml
    09. How Confidential is the Process?

    All of your records are stored physically in a vault.  Nothing is ever digitized.

    The only way your records can be released is if you request for their release.

    No one will ever have access to your information.

  • image/svg+xmlimage/svg+xml
    10. How Do I Know this is “Legitimate?”

    We are fully licensed by the Oregon Health Authority.  We suggest you research all of your options, especially paying attention to Google reviews.  How many reviews are there for the service center you are considering?  How do you rate the quality of the reviews themselves?  We have a large number of high-quality reviews that you can read (Google Reviews).

    11. Do You Have a Wait List?

    No.  We have openings every day of the week.  Call us today (541) 930-2478.

    Please be aware that State regulations require your LAST preparation session be 24 hours prior to the administration session.

  • image/svg+xmlimage/svg+xml
    12. People Say I Will Have a Spiritual Journey, What Does that Mean?

    Psilocybin is an entheogen which means it tends to produce effects that lead toward “spiritual” experiences.

    Everyone’s definition of spiritual is different.  Entheogens tend to enhance a person’s connection to spirituality.

    If you have a faith (Christian, Muslim, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc.) you can expect your connection to that faith to improve.

    As a company we believe in diversity and our facilitators have diverse backgrounds.

    Whatever your beliefs may be, they will be supported and respected in a safe space.

  • image/svg+xmlimage/svg+xml
    13. Will I See Colors and Shapes?

    The best expectation for a psilocybin journey is to not make an expectation based on what others have experienced.

    You may see shapes, colors, landscapes, universes, or nothing at all, or all of these things at once.

    You may experience a multitude of emotions intensley, maybe at the same time.

    Your experience may be purely intellectual with a precise clarity.

    Whatever you experience you can trust that the psilocybin is making your mind show you what you need to see.  100%.

  • image/svg+xmlimage/svg+xml
    14. Will I Have Control Over My Actions When I Take Psilocybin?

    The answer is “yes” in a psychedelic way.

    You will always be able to move about, you will be able to follow directions if needed, and you will always have your free will.

    That being said, internal “control” is something many clients need to give up to help resolve issues.

    Psilocybin is a great tool to help do that.

    15. Introduction Information Prior to Choosing a Facilitator

    What is Oregon Psilocybin Services (OPS)?

    Oregon Psilocybin Services (OPS) is the state regulatory framework that governs the legal use of psilocybin for personal and therapeutic purposes in Oregon. OPS oversees licensing, safety standards, product testing, and facilitator training to ensure safe and ethical access to psilocybin services.

     

    Is psilocybin legal in Oregon, and who is eligible?

    Psilocybin is legal for adults 21 and older in Oregon. No diagnosis or prescription is required, but all clients must complete mandatory preparation sessions with a licensed facilitator.

     

    Do I need a diagnosis or prescription to access services?

    No. In Oregon, you do not need a medical diagnosis or prescription to access psilocybin services. Anyone 21 or older is eligible to participate.

     

    Can out-of-state or international clients participate?

    Yes, anyone over 21 years old can legally access psilocybin services in Oregon, including out-of-state and international clients.

     

    Is there research supporting psilocybin therapy?

    Clinical trials and research have shown that psilocybin can be effective for conditions like depression, PTSD, and substance use disorder. However, psilocybin therapy is not yet FDA-approved, and ongoing studies continue to explore its efficacy and safety.

     

    What scientific research supports psilocybin therapy?

    Numerous studies from leading institutions like Johns Hopkins and UCLA support psilocybin’s therapeutic potential for depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, and end-of-life distress. The FDA has granted psilocybin “breakthrough therapy” status for certain conditions, and ongoing research continues to explore its benefits and safety.

     

    What is the science behind psilocybin and how does it affect the brain?

    Psilocybin works by temporarily altering activity in key brain networks, such as the default mode network, which can lead to increased emotional processing, new perspectives, and lasting improvements in mental health.

     

    What effects can I expect from a psilocybin session?

    Psilocybin can cause a wide range of effects, including changes in mood, perception, sensory experience, time distortion, and even ego dissolution. Each journey is unique and can be unpredictable. A controlled, supportive environment helps ensure safety and comfort during the experience.

     

    What are the potential risks and side effects?

    Common side effects include nausea, elevated heart rate, headache, and fatigue. Rare but serious risks can include psychosis, serotonin toxicity, long-term heart issues, or Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder (HPPD). We advise consulting your doctor if you have a history of heart conditions or mental health concerns.

     

    Is psilocybin safe?

    Psilocybin has a low risk of addiction and overdose when used in a controlled, supervised setting. Our facilitators are trained to support you throughout the experience and monitor your well-being.

     

    What is “set and setting” and why are they important?

    “Set” refers to your mindset and intentions, while “setting” describes the physical and social environment for your session. Both are crucial for a safe and beneficial experience.

    16. Choosing a Facilitator

    What is a licensed facilitator?

    A licensed facilitator is a professional who has completed state-mandated training and certification to guide clients through the psilocybin experience. Facilitators support clients before, during, and after the session to ensure safety and maximize the benefits of the experience.

     

    What are your facilitators’ qualifications?

    All facilitators are licensed by the state and many have additional healthcare credentials or backgrounds in related fields. You can review our facilitator list and choose who you’d like to work with.

     

    Do I get a free consultation before booking?

    Yes, every client receives a free, private consultation with at least one licensed facilitator before booking a session. This consultation helps answer your questions and ensures psilocybin services are appropriate for you.

     

    How does facilitator matching work?

    You choose the facilitator based upon your connection to a specific person. We suggest you speak to several facilitators to establish a great fit. If you need some suggestions we will be happy to assist you.

    I’m coming from out of town. How long should I plan to stay?

    We recommend at least three nights in town.  This provides a travel day, the session day, a rest day and then a travel day.

    How is dosing determined, and what if I’m on antidepressants?

    Dosing is individualized based on your needs and goals. If you are taking antidepressants, higher doses of psilocybin may be needed for effectiveness.

     

    Are there any health conditions or medications that would exclude me from participating?

    Yes. People currently taking lithium, those with active suicidal ideation, or those who have had an active psychosis cannot participate in psilocybin sessions, as required by state regulations.  Please consult with your medical professional to determine if you have any health conditions that might preclude you from psilocybin services.

     

    Can I bring a support person?

    You may be able to bring a support person to your session. Please discuss this with your facilitator in advance so they can make appropriate arrangements.

    20. Post Journey Information

    Integration sessions are recommended after your psilocybin experience to help process and apply insights gained during the journey.  All of the facilitators working with Satya provide integration sessions free of charge.

     

    What happens if I have a challenging or difficult experience during a session?

    It’s common for strong emotions or challenging themes (such as trauma or grief) to arise. Facilitators are trained to provide a safe, compassionate environment, supporting you through difficult moments and helping you process them for healing and growth.
