Aaron Garmon
Psilocybin Facilitator
Aaron’s primary role is to create a space in which the individual can navigate their own healing journey. This begins with a commitment to grounded presence—settling into stillness before engaging. From this state of awareness, he observes without judgment, allowing the unfolding of an environment where anxiety is met with safety, doubt is met with strength, and moments of release are met with care. In holding space in this way, he does not impose direction but instead supports the individual’s autonomy, trusting that true healing arises from within, when one feels seen, supported, and free to be.
Preparation
Setting intentions. Cleansing yourself and surroundings. Required forms.
This is when you choose and loosely hold the direction for your Journey. Sometimes the experience goes in a totally different direction, but spending time in contemplation beforehand is a necessary beginning.
Journeying
You and “the Medicine” leading the way, I’m here to help your journey be a smooth one. This is a full day, in many ways, but the time under influence is about four to eight hours. Time will feel non-linear, and much like dreaming, thoughts and visions will come and go. I can help capture some notes and cues for later. This is a time for being and allowing the experience to flow over you.
Integration
The first day or two, your mind will be more flexible. This is an opportunity to take a new view at your interactions with the world and self. It’s also a time of impressionability, so keeping your environment supportive is important. I will check in with you and offer an integration session where we can go over notes and memories from your Journey day. The integration process will likely extend long after, as you live with a potentially new perspective, and begin to understand how that ripple continues.
Support
Ongoing support is going to maximize the benefits of the work you already put in. This can be from a therapist, close friend, or psychedelic peer group. I can help you find one that fits your needs. Don’t expect to understand everything right away, the journey after the Journey can be the best part.
