Embarking on a psilocybin therapy session can be a profound and transformative experience. To make the most out of this journey, preparation is key. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you prepare mentally and physically for your psilocybin therapy session, ensuring that you’re in the best possible state to embrace the insights and healing that this therapy offers.
- Understand the Process
Before your session, take the time to understand what psilocybin therapy involves. Familiarize yourself with the role of psilocybin, how it interacts with the brain, and what you can expect during and after the session. Knowing what to anticipate can help reduce anxiety and set a positive tone for your experience.

- Set Clear Intentions
Setting clear, personal intentions for your therapy session can be incredibly powerful. Reflect on what you hope to achieve or gain from the experience. Whether you’re seeking emotional healing, creative insights, or spiritual growth, having a clear intention can provide focus and direction throughout the session.
- Create a Comfortable Setting
The environment in which you have your therapy session plays a crucial role in the overall experience. Ensure that the setting is comfortable, safe, and free from distractions. This includes having a serene, cozy space with soft lighting, calming music, and comfortable seating. A positive, nurturing environment can help you relax and make the experience more beneficial.
At Omnia Group Ashland, you can participate in a shared experience designed for 3 persons or more (up to 12); created to support self-exploration, connection, and learning in the comfort of shared spaces that are designed to provide a quiet and safe atmosphere that resembles a comfortable living room. Available as a three-day or five-day retreat. Together we will discuss goals, intentions, and design an experience that is tailored to you.
- Prepare Mentally
Mental preparation is just as important as physical preparation. Practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or gentle yoga in the days leading up to your session. This can help calm your mind, reduce stress, and cultivate a sense of inner peace. It’s also helpful to journal your thoughts and feelings leading up to the session to process any emotions that may arise.
- Communicate with Your Therapist
Open communication with your therapist is vital. Discuss any concerns or questions you may have about the session beforehand. Sharing your intentions, fears, and expectations can help your therapist tailor the experience to your needs and provide the necessary support during the session.
At Omnia Group Ashland, we count with a dedicated team of richly experienced and licensed facilitators. Our team participates in ongoing education and consultation in order to continue refining industry best practices as related to psilocybin treatment.

- Prepare for Integration
Psilocybin therapy often leads to powerful insights and emotions that may require integration. Think about how you plan to process and integrate these experiences after your session. This might involve talking with your therapist, journaling, or engaging in reflective practices to help you make sense of and apply the insights gained.
Omnia Group Ashland offers ongoing integration opportunities through additional sessions with facilitators and group experiences in which you can share your insights and listen to the experiences of others.
