One of the biggest challenges after a psychedelic experience isn’t the journey itself…

It’s making sense of it.

You might come back with:

early life material around safety or attachment
emotional or relational insights
symbolic or archetypal imagery
or a sense of connection beyond the personal

And without a framework, it can all blur together.

The truth is:
these experiences don’t come from the same layer of consciousness—
and they don’t integrate the same way.

Our founder, Dr. Doug Wingate, just released a new workbook designed to help map this:

8-Circuit Ascension Workbook: Tools to Change Your Brain & Increase Intelligence by our founder, Douglas S Wingate

It’s a practical guide to understanding how your mind organizes experience—and how to actually work with it. Learn more at 8-Circuit Ascension

Learn what the 8-circuit model of consciousness is, how it explains your patterns, and why healing often fails without understanding different layers of the mind. Includes a quiz to identify your type.

With recent federal momentum around ibogaine research, more people are asking:

“What are my options for psychedelic therapy?”

Here’s the current reality:

• Ibogaine → not legal in the U.S., typically accessed internationally
• Ketamine → legal across the U.S., available through medical providers
• Psilocybin → legal in Oregon, available through licensed centers

Ibogaine and Psilocybin are being explored for:
PTSD
depression
addiction
suicidal ideation
and more

But only one is accessible here, now, with structured support.

At 7 Gates, we help people navigate this work safely and intentionally.

If you’re exploring your options, we’re happy to walk you through it! Book a call on our website or attend a free bi-weekly info session

As healers, caregivers, and space-holders, we give so much of ourselves to others that our own well may quietly run dry.

Thoughtfully facilitated psilocybin experiences offer a chance to reconnect with your inner wisdom, release accumulated stress, and renew your sense of clarity, compassion, and purpose.

We're excited to host Inner Strength LLC (Michele Solemani) this December for a mid-winter reset, a restorative inner journey 🍄 for healers.

This is an opportunity to restore, reflect, and reconnect—in community with peers who understand the depth and challenge of tending to others in these times.

Space is limited to 4 participants. Contact Inner Strength LLC for more info or to register.

A groundbreaking Phase 2 clinical trial has revealed that a single dose of psilocybin — the psychoactive compound found in so-called “magic mushrooms” may offer powerful relief from depression and anxiety in cancer patients. When combined with guided psychotherapy, this one-time treatment led to rapid and lasting improvements in emotional well-being, with many participants experiencing benefits that extended for more than two years.

Psilocybin has long been studied for its potential to address mood disorders, but its application in oncology settings is drawing renewed attention. Cancer patients often face profound psychological distress, including existential fear, hopelessness, and chronic anxiety. Conventional treatments, while helpful, may not fully address the depth of this emotional suffering. Psilocybin-assisted therapy offers a new approach one that seems to reframe a patient’s experience of illness, loss, and identity through guided introspection and a heightened sense of emotional clarity.

This isn’t about recreational use; it’s about structured, professionally supported therapy that taps into the brain’s capacity for healing. The sustained outcomes from a single dose are particularly notable, challenging the model of ongoing medication in favor of transformative, experience-based interventions. As larger trials move forward, researchers hope to understand how multiple sessions or varied dosing could improve outcomes even further.

The findings open the door to a paradigm shift in how mental health is treated in serious illness. Psilocybin, once relegated to the fringes, is emerging as a powerful tool in the quest for holistic care one that honors both the body and the mind.
