About Nora Stevens:
Nora Stevens always saw herself as the "good girl". She grew up in a dry household and never wanted to fog her brain with drugs. But when depression kept dragging her down, despite years of talk therapy, somatic therapy, and after trying several different antidepressants, she was willing to look for an alternative route. This willingness came up concurrently with discussion around legalizing psilocybin, in Oregon. After attending several talks which supplied her science-minded brain with evidence that psilocybin could be a safe and effective alternative, she gave psilocybin a try.
Now, after five big mushroom experiences, she feels so much lighter and wanted to share this experience with others. Nora was in the first cohort of psilocybin facilitators trained in Oregon and is now licensed in the Portland area.
