You’ve built a career to be proud of. But somewhere along the way, the pressure, the pace, and constant striving has left you feeling empty, and disconnected—from yourself, your joy, purpose, meaning, even loved ones.
We know how it is. The world puts pressure on all of us. You start down a path with the best intentions, to provide for yourself and your family, to make a difference, and to get to a place where you finally feel like your work means something. But along the way, you start to see the path turn away from your real goals.
You compromise on what seem like small things. Then the compromise becomes common place. Before you know it, you’re working against so many of the things you thought you were working for. But you’re good at what you do. So you keep going, thinking you’ll get to that point that never arrives where you’ll be doing exactly what you want: Something meaningful that makes a difference.
You still have that choice. You just need to veer back on to the path that you have wanted to be on all along, and reconnect with your deeper self.
We’ve created special Journeys to help you reconnect with what matters, get unstuck, see what is right in front of you but you’re not facing, and find deeper purpose and meaning again.
Chose from the specific dates for smaller, more exclusive groups and we’ll guide you through a powerful transformation!
This our signature Journey! This 5 day experience takes place amid some of the most stunning beauty imaginable, and puts you in some of the most incredible natural areas to connect with your deeper nature. For those who enjoy movement and challenge.
Relax deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest! SUP right from camp, do yoga offered by one of our wonderful teachers, and spend time in stunningly beautiful nature for a while. More geared towards folks who like to relax, and unpack their stuff.
I’ve always known there was something I was here to do. A purpose, maybe. More of a question that had to be answered. Why are we doing this?
Us humans are very good at changing our world. Best in the business, as a matter of fact. We do it for our loved ones, for our peace, safety, and feeling of acheivement. But the WAY that we do it comes at a huge cost. All of the work that we do to try and make things better actually, in a lot of ways, goes against what we really want. When we get too caught up in things, we lose touch with our deeper humanity.
I’ve studied this, but I’ve also lived it. When I get too far off my path, I feel the call to reconnect. I know it’s important. I have to shift my focus, and begin to feel into my deeper humanity. Connect with the natural world. Realign with my purpose.
That’s what truly matters in life, and how we really make a difference.
We harness the power of several elements, all shown through research to be very beneficial, to create a powerful experience
There's no better place to anchor in new thought patterns and emotions than nature, and changes cortisol level, blood pressure, synaptic firings and more. And you'll love the gorgeous, soft, and joyful nature of Oregon!
Facilitated mushroom experiences are overwhelmingly being shown to help us in all kinds of ways, by resetting our old thought patterns and creating neuroplasticity.
Just being out here in this expanded state is pretty awesome, but the ways we engage, interact, and play with this magical world creates truly powerful shifts.
Speaking about your experiences helps anchor them in a shared reality, and in your story. Keeping connected afterwards helps move real integration forward.
We’re here for you every step of the way. All you have to do is reach out with curiosity. Schedule a free Exploration call to see if the fit is good, for everyone.
Book a call or fill out an intake form and let us know what’s going on.
Talk with your guides and meet your group safely and confidentially.
Get out, align with your wild nature , and vibe with it all!
Bring what you find back into your life and our human-made world.
This Journey is beginner-friendly. You can choose your own level of participation for the hike, even skipping any hiking options altogether. You could also go on a variety of hike lengths.
The rafting is also beginner-friendly. You will have a life jacket, and clothes to keep you warm if you’d like. You can paddle, or even sit in the middle of the boat if you are worried.
There is no experience necessary for the psilocybin journey either. Your facilitator will work out a personalized plan and dosing with you.
We provide clean food to reduce issues you have with medicine or the energetic experience. This isn’t your typical outdoor eating, either. We bring fresh food and prepare it deliciously with a solid kitchen setup. We are based in the lush Pacific Northwest, where the ingredients are insanely fresh. Our coffee and tea game is on point, too.
We have the ability to accommodate most diets. Whether you’re a vegan, vegetarian, or prefer meat options, we’ve got you covered. We think everyone should be able to enjoy a delicious meal, regardless of their dietary preferences.
Most of our food is naturally gluten free food, as there’s just not much wheat in outdoor cooking.
Just let us know your preferences during booking and we’ll take care of the rest!
The accommodations vary throughout the trip.
Night 1 & 2- We get a group house, or you can stay on your own if you prefer.
Night 3 – We stay at a campground with cabin options (additional $180 for a cabin this night).
Night 4 – Camping along the river.
For the nights we camp, we provide tents, sleeping pads and group equipment. You will have to chose a sleeping bag option:
Sleeping Bags
Sleeping bags are personal items, as they are right up against people. Cleaning sleeping bags causes them to break down quickly, both structurally and insulation wise. But not everyone has one, so we have a few options:
1. Rent A Bag at $35 per person per trip. This covers cleaning and degradation of the sleeping bag.
2. Buy your own. This is our recommended option. Getting your own sleeping bag is a necessary step to you getting outdoors more often. We work with Next Adventure, a Portland based outdoor outfitter, to get you discounted bags. Please let us know in advance if you will be buying a bag.
3. Donate your bag- Don’t want to bring your sleeping bag back home? You can buy a bag and, after you are finished, donate it to local people having housing issues.
Transportation from Bend, Or. back to Bend is included in the price. Driving on the medicine day is prohibited, and shuttling vehicles for rafting is complicated, so you cannot drive yourself for this part of the experience.
If you would prefer to join us on the trip out from Portland, the cost is $80 for the 1st, $50 additional.
We use minivans and light trucks to move around, to make it environmentally friendly and to allow for more personal choice and flexibility.
We get a lot of questions about the toilets. Smith Rock, Bend and the medicine session will have flush toilets. The campgrounds have vault toilets (pictured above). And no, you won’t have to dig a hole.
Showers are available the first two nights. The third night, if you rent a cabin, you can take a shower. The fourth night, there is no shower, but there is a river.
No. If you have wool or synthetic long underwear, that can help on colder days. We have splash tops and pants, and we have wet suits if need be. But towards the end of June through July, which is when we have most of our trips, it’s hot out and the water gets warm as well, so swim gear is usually fine.
We do ask that you don’t wear open-toe shoes, as they can be dangerous, during the rafting portion of the experience. You can wear sneakers or booties, or use ours.
We handle all the gear, guides, and facilitators for rafting and camp. You just need to bring your personal hygiene items and clothes, and to choose your sleeping bag option (see below). We’ll give you some pointers before you come out, but you probably already have everything else you need.

The river portion of the journey is van supported, so we don’t need to pack your gear, and stuff it into a gear boat. You just need to change into river clothes, put on our safety equipment (life jacket, helmet, and shoes) and go rafting!
Short answer: It’s entirely a legal matter.
A lot of our journey is in national forests and Crater Lake National Park, which we are permitted to operate in. Psilocybin mushrooms are illegal here, and go against our permits.
The Oregon Health Authority governs the laws about psilocybin, which is federally illegal, though legal and regulated in Oregon. So combining a deep nature experience in these places with a psilocybin journey is a tricky dance, despite how naturally they fit together.
Several guides for Evolve Wild are also psilocybin facilitators, and their time and services are included in the price, though the psilocybin piece of this journey is optional. We are happy to facilitate the nature connection portion of this, even without a psilocybin session.
If you do choose to do a psilocybin journey, you will also need to pay for the room and the psilocybin mushrooms you consume directly to the service center. The total cost is typically between $500 – $800 per person, and the mushrooms can only be paid for in cash on the day of the services.
We do a day hike or float near Bend for those not interested in the psilocybin part of the experience.
We typically require a 25% payment up front for the Nature-Based Journey. Full payment must be made three days before the trip’s start date.
If you book early in the year, we offer payment plans.
