the SPACE
Private Rooms
Two individual rooms are available for sessions, one containing a private restroom. Each is furnished with a queen bed, bolster pillows and blankets, highlighted by adjustable natural light. Touches of the natural world and locally sourced abstract art enrich the ambiance and provide an opportunity for a more creatively stimulating experience.
Both spaces are also equipped with a sound system with the ability to simultaneously play your chosen playlist through both headphones (we have headphones availabe for use, or clients can bring their own) and overhead speakers, ensuring your facilitator has as much insight into the emotional threads of your journey as possible.
Group Space
At the heart of the center is our industrial, sunlit group space. Living plants of all sizes border the walls, and solar blinds on the five large windows ensure both soft, natural light and emotional privacy from the outside world.
For group psilocybin sessions we provide floor mattresses, bolsters and blankets, and mats are complimentary for yoga classes.
Cubbies are available for clients’ use.

Lara (aka Luna) is a holistic life coach and spiritual counselor as well as a licensed psilocybin facilitator. As a student of InnerTrek, she had the honor of participating in one of the first legal group ceremonies in the state of Oregon — and in the nation — since the 1960s.
Lara has a B.A. in Arts & Letters from Portland State University (Summa Cum Laude). In addition to being a certified life coach and licensed psilocybin facilitator, she’s also a formerly certified Peer Wellness Specialist (PWS) with a solid foundation in mental health and trauma-informed care. She’s completed certificate programs in Somatic Attachment Therapy, Integrative Somatic Parts Work, and Applied Polyvagal Theory in Therapeutic Yoga through The Embody Lab.
Lara believes in a holistic approach to healing the psyche and soul through the marriage of psychology and spirituality. Her practice is informed and inspired by attachment theory, somatic parts work and Internal Family Systems (IFS), the arts, tarot, and astrology. All are paths to explore the subconscious and expanded states of consciousness.
Lara has more than a decade of education and experience in the art of personal transformation. But her greatest gifts are her presence, empathy, and devotion in service to love. She can help you nurture your relationship with mushrooms to transform your relationship with yourself and all of life. She’s here for the lovers and dreamers, sensitive souls and free spirits, and the inner child within us all. This includes highly sensitive persons (HSPs) and empaths as well as those healing from insecure attachment and codependency. She feels especially called to support women on the spiritual path to rebirth the self by healing the mother wound.
This is a safe and nurturing space for your inner child to heal and feel held through shadow work that feels like play. Lara's here to hold space and be your guide as you explore your inner landscape. Some of this may be familiar terrain and some may be uncharted territory. We can illuminate the darkness and find the light within. It would be her honor to support you on your path to healing and wholeness.
