Hi, I’m Josh Goldstein, I bring a diverse range of experience to this work, enabling me to meet you exactly where you are on your personal journeys. With an extensive background in both science and education, and 15 years of experience working in therapeutic environments, I aim to adeptly guide, both individuals and groups as they delve into their inner landscapes. I have nearly 30 years of personal engagement with plant medicine which has afforded me profound insights into facing the various aspects of ourselves that too often linger in the shadows.
During my decade-long tenure as the academic director of a therapeutic boarding school, I gained extensive training and experience addressing a wide range of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, OCD, and PTSD.
Since becoming a legal psilocybin facilitator I have helped facilitate many transformative experiences, notably facilitating the first “above ground”, legal group psilocybin ceremony for veterans in the United States. I helped to pioneer a groundbreaking collaboration with Project New Day, which is dedicated to supporting individuals grappling with Opioid Use Disorder. In June 2023, I graduated with the inaugural cohort of trained psilocybin facilitators in Oregon. However, my journey in this realm began long before, enriched by over a decade of mentorship and training within a spiritual tradition that uses plant medicine as a sacrament. Today, I remains deeply committed to deepening my own practice while guiding others on their paths to healing and self-discovery.
I hold a profound reverence for the transformative power of plant medicine, enabling access to innate healing wisdom within individuals. I bring a calm and grounded presence to help cultivate an atmosphere where people feel safe to be authentic, vulnerable, and raw. I recognize the challenges inherent in this work, and I approach this work with a deep compassion which allows those in my care to feel seen and supported.
I have a profound reverence and curiosity for mystery which is this life, and I champion the belief that plant medicine can be a powerful catalyst for personal exploration and healing. My work is continually navigating the realities that many of these practices are appropriated and practiced without proper credit given to the many generations of medicine workers that proceed the more recent wide spread interest taking shape in the “West”. I look into the crucial differences between appropriating and syncretic practices. I am a perpetual student, and I am always looking to better understand how to improve my practice as a facilitator and spiritual being.
It is my honor and privilege to do this work. It is truly my calling. If you are curious about this work, feel free to schedule a consult.
