A place that holds you from the moment you arrive.
Denver Psilocybin Sanctuary was born from a simple but profound belief — that where you heal matters just as much as how you heal. Nestled on a half-acre property with a living serenity garden, our space was designed to feel like home from the moment you walk through the gate.
You are welcomed into a private, unhurried space where soft light filters through living plants, the garden is always within reach, and every detail has been chosen to make you feel genuinely held.
“The environment you heal in is inseparable from the healing itself.”
What makes us different
Not an office. Not a clinic. A sanctuary.
Every facilitator is also a licensed therapist
The same person who prepares you, guides your journey, and supports your integration is a clinically trained professional who holds your full arc — not a hand-off at every stage.
Nature as part of the medicine
Half-acre serenity garden, living plants, natural materials. The environment itself is designed to hold and ground you — because we believe where you heal is inseparable from the healing.
Continuous care, no handoffs
From your first consultation through your final integration session — one relationship, one voice, one therapist-facilitator the whole way through. We never pass you off.
Our sanctuary is warm, intimate, and rooted in nature — a cozy, home-like setting where you are received with care, held with skill, and never rushed through the most meaningful work of your life.
Important disclosures for everyone considering our services.
We publish this in plain language because trust starts with transparency. Read it fully before booking a consultation or natural medicine session.
Last updated: May 2026Jurisdiction: Colorado, USAApplies to: All Denver Psilocybin Sanctuary services
01 Legal status & licensing
Denver Psilocybin Sanctuary operates as a licensed natural medicine healing center under the Colorado Natural Medicine Health Act of 2022 (C.R.S. Title 12, Article 170), enacted by voters as Proposition 122 and implemented by SB23-290. Services are delivered in accordance with rules promulgated by the Colorado Department of Revenue (DOR) Natural Medicine Division and the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA), codified at 1 CCR 212-3 and 4 CCR 755-1.
Our healing center is separately licensed by the City and County of Denver under the 2025 municipal natural medicine ordinance administered by Denver Excise & Licenses. Local zoning sign-off, fingerprint background checks, and site inspections are conditions of our continued operation.
We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operating on behalf of any federally recognized American Indian tribe. We do not represent that our services constitute traditional Indigenous ceremony or medicine, and we explicitly disclaim any such claim as required by C.R.S. § 12-170-105 and the Denver ordinance.
02 Federal law notice
⚠ Federal Schedule I substance
Psilocybin and psilocin remain Schedule I controlled substances under the federal Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 812). Although Colorado has decriminalized and licensed certain natural medicine activities for adults 21 and older, federal law does not recognize this exception. Participation in our services may carry federal legal risk, particularly for individuals subject to federal employment, security clearance, immigration status, professional licensure, child custody, or travel restrictions.
You are solely responsible for evaluating whether participation is consistent with your federal obligations. We strongly recommend consultation with a qualified attorney before booking if you hold federal employment, possess a security clearance, are a non-citizen, work in a federally regulated industry, or are involved in any custody, divorce, or immigration proceeding.
Natural medicine and natural medicine products may not be transported across state lines. Possession outside Colorado, including in airports operating under federal jurisdiction, may constitute a federal offense.
03 Age & eligibility
Services are restricted to adults 21 years of age or older as required by C.R.S. § 12-170-103. Government-issued photo identification is required at intake. We do not provide services to minors under any circumstances.
All participants must complete our intake screening and informed-consent process. We reserve the absolute right to decline service to any prospective participant for whom our facilitators or medical advisor determine that the risks outweigh the potential benefits, or for whom our services are not clinically appropriate.
04 Medical disclaimer
Denver Psilocybin Sanctuary does not practice medicine and does not provide medical diagnosis, treatment, prescription, or cure. Information presented on this website, in marketing materials, in preparation sessions, and during integration is offered for general educational and harm-reduction purposes only.
Natural medicine services are not a substitute for evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment by a licensed physician, psychiatrist, psychologist, licensed therapist, or other qualified healthcare provider. Nothing we publish should be construed as a claim that psilocybin or any natural medicine cures, treats, mitigates, or prevents any condition.
If you have any medical or psychiatric condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are currently taking prescription medication, obtain medical clearance from your prescribing physician before booking.
In a medical or psychiatric emergency
Call 911, go to the nearest emergency room, or call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). Do not wait for a response from our team. This website is not monitored 24/7 and is not an emergency service.
05 Contraindications
Natural medicine services are not appropriate for everyone. We publish the full list below so you can assess fit before contacting us.
Absolute or strong contraindications
Personal history of psychosisIncluding schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or prior psilocybin-precipitated psychosis.
Bipolar I disorderParticularly with a history of mania or hypomanic episodes.
Active suicidalityCurrent ideation with plan or intent; recent attempt within 12 months.
First-degree family historyOf schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder (parent, sibling, child).

Autoimmune, thyroid, hepatic, or renal disease under active management.
History of complex trauma, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, or borderline personality disorder.
Any condition not listed above for which you take a daily prescription.
You must disclose all conditions truthfully at intake. Non-disclosure or misrepresentation of health information voids our duty of care and may result in immediate cessation of services with no refund, in accordance with C.R.S. § 12-170-105.
06 Medication interactions
Psilocybin interacts meaningfully with many prescription medications. We require disclosure of every prescription, over-the-counter medication, supplement, and recreational substance used in the prior 90 days.
Medications requiring discontinuation or specialist consultation
Lithium — strong relative contraindication; seizure risk reported. Discontinuation must be supervised by your prescriber.
Antipsychotics (typical and atypical) — blunt or block psilocybin effects; require psychiatric coordination.
SSRIs / SNRIs (sertraline, fluoxetine, escitalopram, venlafaxine, duloxetine, etc.) — typically attenuate the experience; tapering must be physician-directed.
Tricyclic antidepressants — may potentiate cardiovascular effects.
Tramadol, dextromethorphan, MDMA — serotonin-syndrome risk if combined.
Never adjust medication on your own
Do not stop, taper, or modify any prescribed medication without your prescribing physician's direct supervision. Abrupt discontinuation of psychiatric medication carries serious risk.
07 Psychological & therapy disclaimer
Our facilitators hold one of two license types issued by DORA: Facilitator (NMF) or Clinical Facilitator (NMCF). The distinction matters and is disclosed for every staff member.
A facilitator licensed solely under DORA's natural medicine program does not practice psychotherapy, counseling, or the practice of medicine as those terms are defined under Colorado law. Where a member of our staff additionally holds a Colorado mental-health license (LCSW, LPC, LMFT, LAC, PMHNP, or MD), psychotherapy services delivered are governed by the rules of their secondary license and are legally and operationally distinct from natural medicine services.
Natural medicine services are not psychotherapy, nor a substitute for ongoing mental-health treatment. We recommend that participants maintain a relationship with an outside therapist or psychiatrist for the period surrounding their journey and during integration.
Possible psychological effects
Participants may experience, during or following an administration session, transient or prolonged states including but not limited to: intense emotion (fear, grief, awe, joy), confronting autobiographical memory, perceptual distortion, visual and auditory phenomena, ego dissolution, depersonalization or derealization, altered time perception, somatic discomfort, fatigue, headache, transient anxiety or depression, vivid dreams, sleep disturbance, and rarely, protracted perceptual changes (HPPD), psychosis, or worsening of underlying psychiatric conditions.
08 Informed consent
Colorado law (C.R.S. § 12-170-105 and 4 CCR 755-1 Rule 6) requires written informed consent before any administration session. Our consent process covers, at minimum:
The participant's complete and accurate health-information disclosure.
Risk factors identified based on that disclosure and any drug contraindications.
Realistic expectations for the preparation, administration, and integration sessions.
Explicit parameters for physical contact during sessions and the right to withdraw consent at any time.
The right to discontinue services at any time, with refund terms disclosed in advance.
Any audio or video recording occurring during services, and the right to refuse.
Safety planning, including identification of a sober support person and post-session transportation.
Financial disclosures, including all fees and any third-party services used to collect payment.
You will receive the full informed-consent document before your preparation session and will have time to review it with the facilitator, your physician, or counsel of your choice before signing.
09 No outcomes or therapeutic guarantee
We make no representation, warranty, or guarantee — express or implied — of any specific therapeutic, psychological, spiritual, emotional, or medical outcome. Testimonials, case studies, research summaries, and personal accounts describe individual experiences only and should not be relied upon to predict your experience.
The body of clinical research on psilocybin is promising but preliminary. No natural medicine is FDA-approved for any indication as of the date above. Outcomes vary substantially across individuals. A meaningful percentage of participants report no measurable change; some report worsening of certain symptoms.
10 Assumption of risk
Participation in natural medicine services involves inherent risks that cannot be fully eliminated, including but not limited to: adverse physiological reactions; psychological distress; falls, accidents, or injury in altered states; emergent memory or affective material; impaired judgment for up to 24 hours after administration; and the federal legal risks identified above.
To the maximum extent permitted by Colorado law, participants and prospective participants waive claims against Denver Psilocybin Sanctuary, its facilitators, employees, contractors, owners, and the property owner for any outcome arising from participation, except in cases of gross negligence, willful misconduct, or violation of statute.
11 Confidentiality & reporting obligations
Records related to participants constitute medical data under C.R.S. § 24-72-204(3)(a)(I) and are held in confidence. We do not share personally identifying information without written authorization, except where required by law or where one of the following mandatory-reporting exceptions applies:
Imminent risk of serious harm to self or another identifiable person.
Suspected abuse or neglect of a child, dependent adult, or at-risk elder under Colorado mandatory-reporter statutes.
Court order, subpoena, or lawful regulatory investigation by DOR, DORA, or Denver Excise & Licenses.
Adverse event reporting required by C.R.S. § 12-170 and DOR rule.
12 Cultural & spiritual respect
We honor the centuries of Indigenous stewardship from which contemporary psychedelic practice descends. We are not a religious organization; we are not affiliated with any federally recognized tribe; and we do not represent our services as traditional ceremony. We do not use the word "shaman" to describe our staff and we do not appropriate closed cultural practices.
13 External resources, testimonials, & research links
This website may link to external research, news coverage, professional organizations, and personal accounts. We do not control or endorse third-party content and are not responsible for its accuracy. Research citations are illustrative; outcomes from clinical trials conducted in controlled academic settings may not generalize to our services.
Testimonials, when published, appear with the express written consent of the participant and are edited only for clarity, length, and the removal of identifying information. We do not pay for testimonials.
