Erik Blender - He/Him/His
Licensed Psilocybin Facilitator

I have over 10 years of experience holding safe and compassionate space for groups and individuals. As a teacher of meditation, a musician & sound healer, I am dedicated to connecting people with practices that awaken the mind, body and spirit. Psychedelic work has had profound healing and growth effect on me, leading me to become a Yoga & Meditation instructor. So, I bring a lot of yogic & meditative focus to my facilitation work with folks seeking personal transformation. I focus on breath and meditation for calmness, self-regulation, and regulation of PTSD. I believe in the power of holding a safe & integrous space for all people to find inner wisdom, growth & transformation.

How to Get Started:

Step 1 - Schedule Q&A / Consultation:
This is a time for us to ask questions of each other, begin building trust, and see if psilocybin is right for you.

Step 2 - Intake, Preparation & Intention-Setting
We’ll work together to create a plan for your psilocybin journey. This includes, setting intentions, answering any questions you have and filling out some paperwork.

Step 3 - Your Psilocybin Experience:
Once a date is set, we will meet at the Psilocybin Service Center of your choice. The psilocybin will be purchased and consumed at the center. I will accompany you in a safe, private space for the duration of your psilocybin experience.

Step 4 - Follow Up and Integration:
This phase is optional, but highly recommended. The goal here is for you to have a safe place to process your psilocybin experience and be intentional about ongoing growth in your life. After your psilocybin experience, we will work together to help you come away with not only the wisdom collected from your journey but real and actionable items that you can do to effect the change you seek in your life.

My Approach to Facilitation

The Three S's: Sound, Song & Silence are important. I utilize sound healing tools like Gong, Crystal Bowls, Tibetan Singing Bowls, and many sound-healing instruments that really help folks go deep into their experience. I weave a beautiful cross-section of live & recorded music into your journey with plenty of space for silence and dropping into your own experience to strengthen & develop your own inner resources.

“What was done to me, I see back through time

Releasing all the pain of my ancestral line

Forgiveness gives me reason to live...

For the Love & Grace I seek are mine to give...”
