Our Mission
Advancing psychedelic science, expanding consciousness, and unlocking the human potential
The field of psychedelics is a tapestry interwoven with threads of philosophy, indigenous wisdom, mysticism, and science.
OPI's mission is to advance the latter—while honoring all aspects of psychedelic medicine—with the ultimate goal of expanding the scale and scope of consciousness.
We envision a world where all people have access to the resources necessary to explore their inner landscapes safely and to reach their fullest human potential.

"The OPI instructors are a highly ethical, values-driven team that espouses a humanizing approach to serving clients (and the world!) through an in-depth education and training of the components of preparation, administration, and integration for Oregon psilocybin services."
Jane Ledbetter, Psy.D.
OPI Student, Cohort 1
"A program as scientifically rigorous as it is spiritually grounded...The instructors' professional and personal backgrounds with psychedelics enriched my learning. Their insights were actionable; informed by research, practice, and introspection. The instructors were as knowledgeable and skillful as they were generous with their experiences....OPI situates psychedelic medicine in the natural world and honors its beauty, as evidenced by the hosting of the practicum in Joseph, OR. I promise you, the trip is worth it (pun intended)."
