What makes Prism Bend’s licensed psilocybin experiences truly unique and transformative? From thoughtful preparation, personalized journeys, and meaningful integration, I create a safe and supportive environment just for you. With extensive experience, I design each journey as I would my own, ensuring you feel nurtured, secure, and prepared to explore inward for profound healing and growth.

1. Establish Trust

Trust is foundational to an epic magic mushroom experience. I bring a wealth of personal and professional psychedelic expertise, having facilitated over 130 transformative psychedelic sessions—including group ayahuasca ceremonies in the Amazon jungle and legal psilocybin journeys in Oregon. Remarkably, my own first legal psilocybin journey was even more transformative than over 40 ayahuasca ceremonies!

As one of Oregon’s pioneering licensed psilocybin facilitators, my journey into psychedelic facilitation began in 2018, deeply inspired by life-changing ayahuasca ceremonies in Peru. My comprehensive training includes a two-month Shamanic Initiation in the remote Amazon jungle (2019), hands-on experience volunteering as an ayahuasca facilitator, and a 180-hour psilocybin facilitator program at InnerTrek in Oregon (2023). My integrative approach blends scientific research with indigenous wisdom.

With nearly 20 years of transformational wellness coaching experience through Cate Ritter Wellness, I've guided thousands of clients from over 18 countries and 25 states. My highly empathic and intuitive nature allows me to tune into your energy, offering deeper mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual support.

A PSILOCYBIN GUIDE YOU CAN TRUST

“Cate Ritter is one of those rare individuals you meet and immediately sense that everything about her is genuine. Her intelligence, authenticity, compassion, and knowledge are truly exceptional. She has a gift for guiding, teaching, and coaching.”

— Erik from Utah

2. In-Depth Support

I provide comprehensive guidance throughout the process, including a consultation, preparation, a journey day, integration, email communication, and content resources. My goal is for you to feel confident, comfortable, and fully supported to maximize your psilocybin experience.

Additional 1-hour integration coaching sessions are available ($200 each). For ongoing support, I offer integrative wellness coaching, subconscious reprogramming (PSYCH-K), sound therapy (Biofield Tuning), and personalized wellness retreats through Cate Ritter Wellness.

3. Customized Experience

Every aspect of your magic mushroom journey with me at Prism Bend is customized.

Psilocybin Preparation & Journey Day

During preparation, I provide information to enhance your experience, such as:

Personalized astrological and numerological insights.
Option to choose an Oracle card for intuitive guidance.
Customized journey playlist—a soundtrack for your soul. Think of this as your hero's journey music designed to take you on a ride into your inner world.

On your journey day, I create a relaxing, healing sanctuary for you that includes:

An altar with fresh flowers, candles, crystals, and essential oils.
Gentle, calming lighting such as galaxy or prism rose lights.

SMUDGING & AROMATHERAPY

From grounding and uplifting to calming and opening, specific scents can help you connect with the natural world, support emotional release, and encourage presence. Depending on the person and their preferences, I like to use sustainably sourced Palo Santo, white sage, rosewater, and essential oils.

Palo Santo is the badass protector of the smudging world. With its sweet, woodsy aroma, this “holy wood” has been long used in shamanic rituals to cleanse, purify, and ward off negative energy—like a personal energetic bodyguard.
Sage is known for its potent cleansing and purifying properties. Think of it as the ultimate smudging broom, sweeping away stagnant, heavy energy.
Rosewater is a gentle, loving best friend—your “liquid love” in a bottle, misting you with kindness, softness, and heart-opening vibes. Its delicate floral scent carries the essence of love and compassion. I also tune my rosewater with 528 Hz tuning forks, the frequency of love.
Douglas Fir is my favorite! With its uplifting, pine-like aroma, it brings the essence of the forest indoors, surrounding you with nature. Its fresh, woodsy scent helps open the heart and third eye chakras, supporting mental clarity, emotional release, and a deep connection to the earth.
Cedarwood’s deep, earthy aroma is grounding and comforting, evoking feelings of safety and calm. This scent provides stability and anchoring during your journey.

PLANTS & FLOWERS

Plants connect you to nature, enhancing calm, grounding, and openness.

Plants — The service center is filled with a beautiful array of plants.
Flowers — Depending on the season, I may bring in flowers from my garden. I especially love bringing red roses, the traditional flower of psilocybin journeys, symbolizing the heart chakra, love and compassion.

CRYSTALS

I bring a variety of high-vibrational crystals for psilocybin journeys, but these are my top two favorites:

Apophyllite — A "stone of truth," apophyllite enhances intuition, awareness, and higher consciousness. Its calming energy reduces anxiety and promotes tranquility.
Labradorite — The “stone of magic,” labradorite enhances psychic abilities, intuition, and mystical insights. It also acts an energetic shield, protecting against unwanted energies.

OPENING & CLOSING BLESSINGS
Each journey begins and ends with a personally written blessing, cultivating gratitude, mindfulness, and sacred intention.

A ROCKSTAR IN HER FIELD

“Cate is pretty much a rockstar in her field… present, creative, empathic, with laser-like attention to detail. She is one of those rare and special people. If you're considering a psilocybin journey, there’s no better guide.”

— Treci from Oregon

4. Empowered Transformation

My non-directive approach empowers you to shift perspective, uncover root issues, and create lasting transformation. To deepen and sustain your progress, I offer ongoing wellness coaching support through complementary modalities and retreats:

PSYCH-K® Subconscious Reprogramming: Backed by Dr. Bruce Lipton (author of The Biology of Belief), PSYCH-K® uses specific postures and movements to help reprogram limiting beliefs and unlock higher consciousness—ideal for integration after psilocybin journeys.
Biofield Tuning® Sound Therapy: Created by Eileen McKusick (author of Electric Body, Electric Health), Biofield Tuning relaxes the nervous system and clears stuck energy using soothing sound vibrations. This method enhances energetic harmony, making it a powerful tool for psychedelic integration.
Wellness Retreats — I offer exclusive Wellness Retreats at Juniper Preserve, nestled within Central Oregon’s ancient juniper forest. Juniper trees have long been revered for their spiritual and healing properties, creating a sacred space for reflection, renewal, and transformation.

Beyond the Journey

Your psilocybin experience with Prism Bend extends far beyond a single journey. My commitment to personalized, heart-centered care empowers you to experience deep healing, growth, and lasting transformation.
