1:1 psilocybin session cost is facilitator dependent. The most common range is $1500 - $2500. This includes the $700/day space rental fee, and the facilitation cost. When you get in touch with facilitators, they will tell you their fee structure; many of our facilitators offer sliding scale for those who need it.
Group sessions are event dependent. Please see the group links below for cost details.

Please be aware that the following conditions or situations may be contraindications to receiving psilocybin services:
Mental health conditions such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, schizophreniform disorder, major depressive disorder with psychotic features, psychotic disorder, bipolar disorder, mania, delusional disorder, any dissociative disorder, substance-induced psychosis, or severe paranoia
Current drug or alcohol withdrawal symptoms or active/severe drug or alcohol misuse
Cardiovascular conditions such as: poorly controlled high blood pressure, prolonged QTc interval, congestive heart failure, history of cardiac arrest, history of ventricular arrhythmia (V. Fib/V.Tach), presence of AICD (Automatic Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator), coronary artery disease, angina, tachycardia, arrhythmia (e.g. atrial fibrillation), Wolff-Parkinson White Syndrome, heart valve disease, artificial heart valve, cardiac hypertrophy, cardiomyopathy, aortic disease, aneurysms
Gastrointestinal conditions such as: moderate to severe liver impairment, gastric outlet obstruction
Dialysis or severe kidney disease
Neurologic conditions such as dementia, cognitive impairment, seizure disorders, epilepsy, history of stroke or transient ischemic attack, cerebral aneurysm
Taking medications such as Lithium, two or more medications affecting your serotonin system (e.g.drug classes such as SSRI, SNRI, SPARI, TCA, and MAO inhibitors), Angle-closure glaucoma
Pregnancy
Tuberculosis, COVID and other highly contagious diseases
1st degree relative (parent, sibling, child) with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or any psychotic or dissociative disorder

Service Sequence
-
Safety is our number one priority at InnerTrek. We will ask you a series of questions regarding your physical and mental health to help determine your path to psilocybin services. We may ask for additional health records if more information is needed. It is very important that you provide accurate information about your health, medications, supplements, life experiences and habits in order to help you have a safe and beneficial experience.
Some of these questions are related to deeply intimate and sensitive topics such as substance use, suicidality, and trauma. Please take your time and consider taking breaks as you fill out this form, as a lot of information is being asked. Psilocybin experiences can be challenging and we want to make sure that you and your facilitator are as informed and prepared as possible during this journey.
Your facilitator will review this form with you prior to your psilocybin administration session. They may ask for more detail on some of your answers, and you will be given a chance to ask questions. Please remember that providing inaccurate information in the process of filling out and reviewing this form with the facilitator may result in a more difficult, unsafe or challenging psilocybin experience. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
-
After completing the health screener, your answers will be reviewed by our team. If you are deemed eligible for psilocybin services, you will be connected with a licensed facilitator who will meet with you and guide you through the whole process. You will meet with your facilitator to complete intake and preparation prior to receiving psilocybin. Your facilitator will discuss your goals, intentions, expectations, concerns, preparation and integration along with many details about the psilocybin experience itself. You will have ample time to ask questions and address all of your concerns.
-
On the morning of your psilocybin session, you should only eat a light breakfast.
Depending on the dose taken, your session may last 4-8 hours.
You will be given the psilocybin to swallow with water or tea.
During the session, you will spend most of your time on a comfortable journey bed, with pillows and a blanket. You may also bring your own pillows, blankets, and eyeshades.
Recorded and/or live music will be played during the session. The space has a high quality sound system that provides even sound throughout. You will also have wireless headphones with personal volume control to use at your discretion.
The licensed facilitator or facilitators supervising your psilocybin administration session will be those who worked with you during preparation.
Water will be provided during your session, and snacks will be provided after the session. You may bring your own snacks as well.
You will be encouraged to focus your attention inward to your inner experience.
You must agree to remain on site until your facilitator decides that you are ready to leave.
At the end of the session, you may not drive or operate heavy machinery.
-
When you go home or to your place of lodging after the session, we recommend that you have a quiet evening. Try to avoid making social plans, working, or watching the news. Avoid all drugs and alcohol.
Integration begins immediately after the session. Give yourself time and space to rest, reflect, and process. Activities such as writing in a journal, art, being in nature, and recording your thoughts in an audio memo can be helpful. Try to avoid overstimulating your mind and body.
You will have, at minimum, two integration sessions with your facilitator 1-2 weeks after your journey. You may schedule additional integration sessions as needed.
Integrating psilocybin experiences is an important and long term process. Your facilitator will discuss various resources and modalities with you to help best support you.
