Our Team
Damian Michael Thomas, MS
Founder
Damian Thomas holds a MS in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The graduate program focused primarily on drug design and therapeutic application of psychoactive and psychedelic substances. His undergraduate degree is a BS in Psychology from Portland State University, where his studies also included a focus on neuroscience and pharmacology.
Damian is a certified alcohol and drug counselor in the state of Oregon and his associate’s degree from Portland Community College centered around studying the many facets of addiction treatment. A particular area of interest of his is attempting to better understand how drugs interact with the brain and body to produce a conscious experience, form habits, and to either heal or harm, depending on how used.
Damian is trained as biofeedback clinician and has experience leading mindfulness meditation groups, as well as incorporating these practices into working with entheogenic substances.
He has traveled the globe working with the medicine while learning from other practitioners from various traditions and cultures integrating this knowledge into a holistic practice. He has volunteered with the MAPS sponsored Zendo project at multiple festivals working in psychedelic harm reduction holding space for people going through intense experiences often unintended.
Damian is a poet, student of Life, mysticism and the western mystery tradition. He has been facilitating sessions with Ibogaine for over 14 years, helping people to detoxify from drug use and break unwanted patterns.
His specialty is using plant based medicines, supplements, coupled with non-pharmacological means such as biofeedback, to treat addiction, trauma and heal psychospiritual wounds.
It is part of his life’s purpose to be of service in this way and considers the work he does to be a form of spiritual service work with the intention of the evolution of both the human family and Consciousness, in general.

Philosophy
Touching the body is also an act of touching the mind and spirit. We are engaging in a conversation with the lived story of Soul when we listen with the compassionate presence of heart and hands.
The story that is contained in each atom and cell that composes the physical form, holds within it a history of experience.
The body remembers what the mind is seemingly able to forget.
The stories that we carry within us are written by our experience of life. Influenced by familial, cultural, societal and ancestral inheritance, the inherited conditioning’s and patterns created impact our experience of ourselves and our perceptions of reality.
From the most dense to the subtlest form, all-that-is contains a living expression of consciousness.
When engaging with the body-mind, with present awareness and allowance for what is, we are able to assist the process of transformation within oneself. Doing so, the experience of Life begins to change. What was once a ‘pain’ becomes an integrated part of ourselves, an accepted part of our lived story. As a result, Life is enhanced.
Life is a process. Healing is an expression of Life.
Our bodies and beings are expressions of Nature. Within Nature is an innate force of healing that supports the evolutionary process that is continuously underway.
Sickness, suffering, pain and death are all expressions of the human condition, of human nature and life on earth. These expressions of life can act as our greatest teachers.
Connection is Key.
When we disconnect from life experiences as a means of self preservation we also disconnect from aspects of ourselves and of Nature. Healing is a process of returning to a unified, connected and embodied Self. A return to integrity of self invites the wholeness of being to return to its rightful place in relationship with Nature.
“The most beautiful experience
we can have is the mysterious.
It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science.”
— Albert Einstein
