A Women's Psilocybin Group
MyceliA
all the details
Like mycelia, we come together to honor the power of individual work held within a supportive, interwoven community. Each woman’s growth feeds the whole; each voice, a thread in the greater tapestry. In Mycelia, we remember that healing is both personal and shared, and that true transformation happens in relationship.
This group offers a powerful space for 4–6 women to come together, go deep, and experience the impact of this work—both individually and as a collective. You’ll be held by two seasoned facilitators, each with over 20 years of experience working therapeutically with individuals, couples, families, and groups. They trust the process fully and are skilled at navigating whatever arises with steadiness and care.
Group work offers a powerful alternative to individual work by providing connection, shared experience, and real-time relational insight. It helps reduce isolation, fosters a sense of belonging, and allows participants to receive diverse perspectives and feedback. In the safety of a facilitated group, people can explore vulnerability, practice communication, and witness each other’s growth—all while benefiting from accountability, community, and the healing power of being seen and heard.
Our women’s group, Mycelia, is rooted in the wisdom of the forest’s hidden network—mycelium—the feminine, life-giving web beneath the surface that connects and nourishes all it touches

Meet your Facilitators
Melinda and Lynne will schedule a joint intake with you. If we all decide to move forward, we’ll have two group meetings to prepare for our journey day together. After the journey, there will be two group integration sessions.
What's included
I’ve been a licensed counselor since 2000 and have run a private practice in Bend since 2006.
My foundation is in Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, developed by Daniel Hughes, PhD—a model built to support families with children facing severe attachment challenges. For three years, I worked intensively in residential settings under Dr. Hughes’s direct supervision, applying this experiential, attachment-centered approach to help children build new relational templates. That experience continues to shape everything I do.
Over time, my practice has grown to incorporate mindfulness, somatic awareness, and EMDR. I believe connection is a core human need, and much of my work focuses on helping people identify the protective patterns they developed to survive relationship and guide them toward safety, vulnerability, and thriving in connection.
After the sudden death of my partner in early 2024, my work took a new direction. Grief opened the door more widely to movement and group-based healing, and I began training in psychedelic-assisted therapy, specifically with ketamine and psilocybin. These modalities have been deeply healing for me, and I now integrate them into my work with the intention of helping others navigate profound transformation.
Today, I continue to offer individual and couples therapy—online and in-person—alongside group work rooted in movement and emerging psychedelic practices. I completed a 10 month training with Integrative Psychiatric Institute in Boulder Colorado and am a licensed psilocybin facilitator with the
State of Oregon (license #FL-3b45d6f5).

more about lynne
"I believe all people want relief from suffering but don't always know the path to get there. Our work is a partnership, and my role is to provide safety and support thru facilitation. I tend to have a direct style that often uses humor and realness to normalize the pain of being human.
I have been an Oregon Psilocybin Facilitator since 2023 to encourage insight, look at traumas, and find a route towards healing. I am a graduate of the Integrative Psychiatry Institute in Boulder, CO but my work in the field of growth started 25 years ago. My background began with coaching (rowing, skiing, swimming) and as an experiential educator with Outward Bound.
After receiving a Master's degree in Counseling from Oregon State University in 1999, I have found ways to connect my experiences by providing a strong foundation and an ability to recognize how our development into adults can be impacted."
