Creative Pathways: Medicine Walk

Bayocean, Tillamook, Oregon


Offered: May 13th, 2023, 10 am – 5 pm
        (Zoom gathering: May 11th at 7 pm pm for check-in and details)

Physical difficulty rating: 1 & 2


I grew up exploring this primordial playground. While there, camped alone for many days at a time, I consumed the sacred medicine of psilocybin mushrooms. My profound experiences of connection, communication, and co-creation were the most powerful and foundational guides that formed who I am today.

It is, in this spirit, that I want to offer these “Creative Pathways: Medicine Walks”.

But, because of the state laws that are currently restricting access to these sacred medicines, I cannot promote their use. Yet, as people register to join us for this walk we can discuss, amongst ourselves, how we want to move forward. We will meet over Zoom prior to the medicine walk to meet each other, share our intentions, and discuss how we’d like to enjoy ourselves and this beautiful place.

The intent of this one day excursion is to bathe in the splendor of this diverse and wild place. We’ll take our time walking along Tillamook Bay, through the forest on sandy trails, and the beach where the Mother Pacific will greet you.

Along the way we’ll stop to drop into our senses and relax.

We’ll be moving at a slower pace to bring our hearts, minds, and bodies into resonance with our surroundings. We’ll fine tune our senses to observe the subtleties. I’ll offer some opportunities to focus, draw, write, meditate, have fun, and share.



Difficulty Rating: 1 & 2
