Life: Holy and Hard

I had a profound and transformative experience at Satya. From the moment we met, Meixa made me feel incredibly safe with her kindness and compassion. Her welcoming energy allowed me to relax and trust the environment completely, creating a space where I felt comfortable being vulnerable. The therapy sessions helped me prepare physically and mentally, refine my intention, and enter the journey with confidence. This was my first time taking psilocybin / psychedelics, and during the journey, it felt like an intelligence was working with me slowly and gently. The psilocybin helped me surrender to the experience without feeling overwhelmed. I felt a sense of agency, as if it was a collaboration between myself and the medicine. For years, I had forgotten how to feel. Life had made me numb, and I lost touch with my emotions. The psilocybin opened my heart - I experienced an intense and indescribable wave of unconditional love. It helped me reconnect with myself and loved ones, and taught me what I needed to know. It was the catalyst I needed to make some meaningful changes. Meixa's compassionate guidance and the supportive environment made all the difference. I truly believe I could never have done it without her help. Thank you, Meixa, from every fiber of my being. I will never forget you and what you have done for me.

My earliest childhood memories are full of carefree love and adoration for my family and surroundings — a life that was quickly extinguished by the tragic death of my older brother when I was four years old. That loss imprinted itself deep in my body and mind, and for the last 15 years of my adulthood I’ve been committed to healing: therapeutic retreats, DBT, EMDR, pharmaceuticals, somatic therapies, nutrition, exercise, and faith-based practices. Each pursuit offered some measure of relief from depression, anxiety, and mood disorders, but nothing touched the core.

I discovered Satya Therapeutics through a friend who said, “If I did psilocybin therapy in Oregon, I’d go to Ashland — that town has the vibe.” I reached out and was connected to Bern. From our first conversation, Bern carried a presence that immediately put my mind at ease. Within a week, I was on a flight from Texas to Oregon.

Bern brought a compassionate courage to the room that words can’t fully measure. Leading up to the session, he spent hours guiding me to clarify my intentions — work that proved invaluable once the medicine took effect. My first journey was epic and indescribable; in short, it became a Lord of the Rings–like pilgrimage through my life. I experienced deep forgiveness for people and parts of myself that hadn’t measured up, and I began to see myself as strong and courageous rather than a victim. The ending of that journey was heavenly — a visceral, living knowledge of a perfect eternal spiritual realm existing alongside my physical life. It felt complete and lacking nothing, with no more fear of living — or of death, for that matter.

Over the next few months, Bern and I spoke often about integrating the first experience into my life and came to realize another journey was needed. For the intentions that were emerging, we felt called to include a woman facilitator, and Meixa joined the team. Meixa brought a warm, compassionate embrace that was profoundly special. My second journey with Bern and Meixa was nothing short of miraculous. For about four hours I was able to deeply remember my brother — his life, the significance of his loss, and the grief that had lodged itself throughout my entire body. Waves of anguish and pain surged through me, and Bern and Meixa guided me gently but firmly through releasing it all.

Coming out of the session felt like a dam of love and wholeness had finally broken open — the kind of love I hadn’t felt since before my brother’s death. I’m only a few days out, but everyone close to me notices the change: my demeanor, my energy, my very presence. I even went surfing this weekend, and my longtime surf partner said he hadn’t seen me surf with such soul before. I’d agree — the barrier of pain and anguish between me and the world is gone. Love and vibrant energy now flow freely through me, connecting me to people and life around me in a way I haven’t known since early childhood.

I can’t thank Bern, Meixa, and Satya Therapeutics enough for creating the space for this miraculous healing. If you’re searching for compassionate, skilled guides for psilocybin-assisted work, Satya is the real deal.

My session and the results far exceeded my expectations! I had a most beautiful journey, that is indescribable, but truly lifechanging. I have read & learned about it for the past couple of years, however the intensity, the power of it is something that is hard to put in words. I have to thank Meixa, my facilitator, for her calmness, reassuring words, relaxing presence. Without her (and the most beautiful music she had), I am not sure I could have done it. But, she was there and I had a most wonderful experience. I hope the results will last a long, long, long, long time, because I really like the "new" more peaceful me! Thank you Meixa, I was so lucky to have you to guide me through this process! And thank you for Satya as well, the office is nice & calming (good location, close to hotels and restaurants), everyone was welcoming, the paperwork was bearable and not invasive. It was my first time to do anything like this, so a safe, controlled environment was so important! Thank you all!

Before my experience at Satya, I spoke to several facilitators, but it only took a minute to decide that Meixa was the one to facilitate my journey. She is expert at protocol, preparation, set, setting, and follow up. Because of her presence and support I was able to stay confident throughout my journey, and my experience was profoundly informative and healing. I will never forget the love and support she provided. I highly recommend Meixa as she is an extremely knowledgeable facilitator and provides exceptional service.

This was the most amazing experience of my life. I am almost 60 and if you'd told me 40 years ago I'd be doing this I would have laughed. I felt safe, nutured, supported during my entire journey and I will be back next year. I can tell you that I got 10 years of therapy done in one session. A medical professional friend recommended me to this place. Someone I trust with every fiber of my being and I will be ever grateful for that. I can go on and on about the benefits but they will be unique to each person. Everything about this experience was comforting and welcoming. The facility is so soothing and the facilitators are exceptional. I worked with Meixa who has been a supporting light before, during and after. I deeply appreciated her warmth and support. Every aspect of what I may expect was fully explained throughout the process and great care was taken to ensure I completely understood every detail. I wish I lived in Oregon. Cultures have used this natural plant for aeons and with deep spiritual reasons. We've lost touch with that and need to get back to it. I'd love to see this made legal in all states, with the caveat being, its used in a clinical setting with support. Pretty sure the cultures using it before always had the recipient surrounded by loving relatives. This is not a "drug" its a food but a mind altering one that should not be done haphazardly for "fun". It's true purpose is self-recognition, spiritual growth, and returning us to the awareness of our connection with the planet, each other and all life. I believe, honestly, that this could get rid of global warming. We will be completely aware of how disconnected and unecessary our current "modern" was of life truly is and how damaging it is to us, our world and all of its inhabitants, animal, plant and mineral. Much Love to all.

Hi everyone :-). I just wanted to talk a little bit about my experience with Meixa, a facilitator at Satya. 💓💓. I haven't yet had a psilocybin journey, but I've been in close touch with Meixa about the whole process, learning about what to expect, what is involved with setting an intention, healing ways to prepare for this kind of profound journey, and more. Having never done psychedelics, I had a lot of questions, and Meixa patiently and lovingly answered all of them with the utmost gentleness and respect.🌹🌹 I found her to be such a pleasant, open, nurturing, caring, healing and loving presence, that I ultimately decided if I were to take this journey, she would be the one I would want to be there guiding me through it.💓💓 Here's something cute: I felt a kindred spirit with her because she uses adorable emojis when she was writing to me , and seemed so sensitive and thoughtful. Her soul just seemed to match mine. She is truly a special person. And clearly cares about her clients, and has a real passion and calling for psychedelic healing, and healing in all modalities. If you are thinking about taking this special journey, I would highly recommend talking with Meixa💓 I can't thank her enough for the time she spent helping me understand what this therapy is all about. Thank you thank you!💓💓💓

Recently, I embarked on my first mushroom journey at Satya Therapeutics in Ashland, OR. The experience was overwhelmingly positive. The process was straightforward, the facility was clean and well-appointed and both facilitators were extraordinary. In my own process of setting intention, I determined that I wanted to work in tandem with two facilitators and asked both Meixa Shore and Bern Haggard if that might be something they would do. Though they’d not done this before, they readily agreed to collaborate and made an exceptional team in guiding me through the process, from setting intention through administration day and into integration. Each brought their wisdom and skills into the mix so that I felt safe, was wisely guided and deeply cared for. My experience could not have been any better. Thank you to Satya for the setting and smooth process. And deep gratitude for Meixa and Bern whose collaborative professionalism and care made all the difference.

This place is wonderful! I was originally set to work with Bonny but my flight cancellations made me arrive a day late and she was already booked for that date. She was so helpful in finding someone who was available for the date that I needed at the last second and was also great in our pre-session calls. I ended up working with Meixa and she was wonderful! She has a passion for working with mothers and has a very calm, healing way about her. I felt connected to her right away despite not having much time beforehand to get to know each other. She was so supportive during my time at Satya and truly went above and beyond to ensure I was taken care of. I also met Andreas while I was there and he was so welcoming and kind. I felt like all three of the facilitators I interacted with truly are doing this to help people improve their quality of life. Although intense, this process has positively impacted my daily life. I felt supported and cared for the entire time at Satya and would recommend this place to anyone!

I recently had the extraordinary experience of working with Meixa. Words alone cannot articulate the beautiful journey that I had with everyone on the team at Satya. Meixa was an exceptionally gifted facilitator and intuitively knew how to guide me. I received therapy on multiple levels and from multiple dimensions...all for which I am grateful. This was a milestone in my life trajectory and I would recommend Satya, Bern, and Meixa to anyone looking for transformation! Thank you Satya! I am sending you all my love and light...always. goes here…

I recently had a transformative experience at Satya Therapeutics facilitated by Meixa, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Andreas, the owner, was incredibly welcoming and took the time to answer all my questions, alleviating any concerns I had. Deciding last minute to undertake this journey, I was fortunate that Meixa was available. From our very first interaction, she was exceptionally kind, starting with her initial message. We exchanged several messages and had an introductory call to review my documents and further address any inquiries I had.

On the day of the session, I arrived to find that Meixa had prepared a wonderfully cozy setting complete with music, fruits, and blankets, all designed to ensure my comfort. Despite opting for one of the more affordable rooms, which was also one of the few available, I was thoroughly impressed by its quality. Her presence throughout the session was comforting; she stayed by my side the entire time, providing support and making the intense journey much more manageable.

The whole experience, though intense, was incredibly worthwhile, made all the easier and more comforting by the excellent facilities at Satya and Meixa's extraordinary care. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone looking to explore this path!

…THE actual psilocybin experience everything was phenomenal. As part of the intake process, I talked to three amazing facilitators, Aubrey, Meixa, and Shelah. It was a very difficult decision to choose one of the three. Meixa had great insight and experience regarding the dosage I might need with the medication I was on and she proved to be right on target. It was a life changing experience that I will never forget. Thank you Meixa for being not only my facilitator but a true guide. I only wish I had a "mental scribe" to record the journey, the lessons learned, and the new perspectives on life. Deb's calmness and kindness helped to create a peaceful environment. She was the ideal person for the "sacred" experience of preparing the "tea". I am so grateful to Isabella for showing me the sleeping fawns right outside the window first thing. As it turns out, a fawn is a sign of "a new beginning". That could not sum up my experience at Satya any better! Thank you to everyone at Satya for what you do, especially Andreas and his family for making it affordable to people who truly need it.

Meixa’s Client

From start to finish, the kind and loving folks at Satya Therapeutics have been 5-star, platinum-level professionals.

I called on a random Sunday evening in Febrary and Andreas answered the phone and patiently answered all of my questions. He then directed me to their website to review the facilitators bio's in order to select one for my session.

All of their facilitators have tons of experience and credentials, Satya truly works with the best of them. After reviewing all of the facilitator's bio's, I felt drawn to Meixa and we set up our initial meeting.

Meixa was sooooo wonderful, empathetic, warm and friendly, listening to my condensed life story and why I was seeking this treatment.

I scheduled my session for a Sunday in February 2025 and Meixa and I had one more video meeting before my travel to Ashland to go over other details and questions.

A few weeks later, my wife and I arrived by plane (from Florida) on a Friday to the Medford Airport and got a rental car to take us to the B&B we booked in Ashland.

Saturday was a free day for us to roam the quaint and very-walkable town of Ashland, such a beautiful and peaceful place.

My session started at 8am on Sunday and I was greeted by Meixa and Andreas to fill out some forms and make payment.

I continued to be impressed by the empathy and the caring I felt from both Andreas and Meixa throughout this process.

My psilocybin started working about 20min after I had mixed and drank the tea and Meixa was there for me, even when I felt afraid as the effects slowly started to overtake me. I felt soooo supported and so cared for by Meixa during my session; I truly cannot say enough kind, beautiful, and supportive words for her. She is truly an angel sharing her spiritual gifts on this Earth to help heal the wounded. I will forever be grateful to her.

This session at Satya was one of the most warm and welcoming experiences I've ever had and I would definitely recommend them to anyone seeking psychedelic therapy.

As for me, the unresolved grief I had from my Mom's suicide 30 years ago was miraculously lifted by this one session. It removed whatever conscious block I had so that I could finally sob and cry and process that frozen glacier of sorrow.

I highly recommend Satya, their wonderful facilitators, and the peaceful, small town of Ashland. You'll be so happy you chose them, I know I am.
