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.

🍫✨ Ancient Medicine, Modern Healing ✨🍄

Did you know cacao and psilocybin have been paired in sacred ceremony for thousands of years?

Long before modern therapy rooms, Indigenous peoples combined these two powerful plant allies to soften the heart and expand the spirit. Now, we’re bringing that ancient ritual back — with deep respect for its roots.

We’re honored to announce a new collaboration between 7 Gates Sanctuary and Soul Lift Cacao — ethically sourced, heart-opening cacao made in direct relationship with Indigenous makers in Latin America.

This isn’t your average “ceremonial cacao.” It’s real ritual medicine — hand-selected, minimally processed, and packed with soul.

🌿 Why it matters:

Activates the heart 💗
Regulates the nervous system 🧠
Grounds and deepens your journey 🌀
Enhances the emotional and spiritual insights psilocybin can unlock 🌈

Now available as part of your journey at 7 Gates.

☕️Want to try it?
Request cacao for your next session and experience the warmth of this sacred reunion for yourself.

Magic mushrooms have been legally available in Oregon for almost 2 years... but is it safe??
The data points to undoubtedly YES!!

Out of thousands of people who have accessed Oregon's psilocyb!n services, emergency services have been required to be called only 5 times. This recent article in the The Oregonian breaks down each of these instances and it's worth going over them.

3 of these were due to a client leaving before the state-mandated minimum time someone is required to remain in the center if ingesting mushrooms. Meaning there was not any apparent medical emergency, rather the service center is required to call emergency services if this happens.

That leaves 2 other instances which seem to be the result of not properly disclosing medical history before a journey, something that is important to ensure a safety, and taking undisclosed medications in conjunction with mushrooms without the facilitators advance knowledge, which can also influence and interact with the mushrooms.

This data shows that magic mushrooms within Oregon legal framework is overwhelmingly safe!!
