 Welcome to Mushroom Illuminations. My name is Johnny Dwork and I’m one of the first government-licensed Psilocybin Facilitators in the United States. For those who qualify (click here to find out), I am now offering carefully curated Psilocybin mushroom experiences in a safe, nurturing environment to help you in your pursuit of healing, wellness, growth, inspiration, and spiritual insight.

Since 1979 I have been guiding and supporting seekers of emotional/spiritual wellness and creative enhancement through the exploration of non-ordinary states of consciousness. Over the decades, I have honed my facilitation skills through a wide variety of single-client and group retreats, workshops and consultations. You can learn more about my facilitation experience here.

My extensive personal experience with psychedelics has shaped my philosophy and life mission: to show up as the Hero archetype in the adventure of my life and to help others to do the same. As a Psilocybin Facilitator, I synergize the insight gained from a lifetime of study and practice of a wide variety of empowerment modalities with my strong moral/ethical commitment to respectfully serve others. as they harness the power of visionary plant medicines in their own “Hero’s Journey” to heal, transform and prosper.

I believe there is an innate “Inner Healer” that resides within each of us. When activated it prompts us toward greater wholeness, meaning, and personal growth. In accordance with the new Oregon law that allows this Psilocybin work, I practice using a “non-directive” approach, allowing the wisdom of your Inner Healer to guide the process. In this novel framework, the client takes the reins of their healing journey, transcending the hierarchical power dynamics often seen in traditional Western healthcare.

I consider it a profound honor and a responsibility of the highest order to be entrusted with the care of clients who do this courageous work. I serve my clients with respect and I honor the intelligence of each person’s inner healer.

Johnny is authentic, well-informed, articulate and compassionate. He engenders trust and comfort. This established a healthy rapport that was the perfect balance of warmth and professionalism. During my experience Johnny remained fully present and attentive. I felt safe and appropriately supported. Due to his extensive experiential knowledge base, I was guided with expertise. Throughout the entire process Johnny maintained availability to my inquiry process. He is communicative and highly conscientious.

POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF A PSILOCYBIN EXPERIENCE

 

Psychedelics allow us to rise to higher levels of perception and observe problems from another perspective. Not only that, but they also provide a direct personal and emotional experience of what it feels like to transcend those layers of suffering.
— Marc Aixala

Modern, peer-reviewed science repeatedly shows that, when experienced in the proper mindset and setting, psilocybin experiences have been shown to promote:

  • Physical and emotional healing
  • Increased feeling of wellbeing
  • Spiritual inquiry
  • Creative exploration and enhancement
  • Mindfulness
  • Increased productivity

Studies show that psilocybin can create substantive shifts towards healing for those who are encumbered by conditions including treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, addiction, and chronic pain.

The law allows the regulated use of psilocybin for wellness, spiritual insight and creative enhancement. I specialize in supporting clients in pursuit of these wellness benefits, drawing on my life experience as a world champion athlete, successful entrepreneur, visionary artist, minister, empowerment facilitator and community leader.

If you are curious about the possibility of having me serve as your Psilocybin experience guide, please be in touch via the contact form at this website. I’m happy to set up a Zoom call so we can begin to explore this possibility.

I facilitate Psilocybin experiences at the InnerTrek Psilocybin Service Facility in Portland, Oregon, which is a gold-standard facility. Once you and I have connected and have decided we want to work together, you can sign up to do a session with me.
