Summary / Abstract

Web. Session 1

Web. Session - 2

Pat Winczewski is a certified psilocybin facilitator with a rich history of dedication to mental well-being and personal growth. Since June of 2023, he has been privileged to work with psilocybin as a means of promoting mental wellness. He holds the distinction of being the inaugural graduate of his training cohort and had the honor of being the pioneer facilitator at one of Oregon’s premier psilocybin service centers.

His academic foundation is in science, with a Chemistry focus, for which he earned a Bachelor’s degree from the esteemed Oregon State University. He has a personal and professional interest in nutrition, food science, and sustainability.  Following his academic pursuits, he spent many years working his way up through the Food Manufacturing industry, serving in pivotal roles in Quality Assurance, Customer Care, Sustainability and Safety. He brings this same passion for safe, quality, care to his facilitation practice to ensure the best experience for his clients.

On a more personal note, He has always been driven to serve and give back to my community. In my youth, I proudly achieved the rank of Eagle Scout, which is at the foundation of my passion for giving back all of these years later. I have contributed significantly to organizations like the American Red Cross and Jackson Street Youth Services through volunteer efforts, reflecting my commitment to leadership and community service. 

Having been born and raised in Oregon, I share a profound connection with its diverse terrains, and immersive culture. I love spending time at the coast, hiking around our forests, and visiting the many scenic and serene places this beautiful state has to offer. I have been skiing on Mt. Hood, and have floated the Willamette River. As a Quality Assurance and Food Science professional, I can confidently tell you that Tillamook Ice Cream is the best in the world! Autumn is my favorite season, warm clothes, bonfires, and my favorite activity: foraging for the Pacific Golden Chanterelle, Oregon’s official state mushroom. They smell of apricots and they match in a vibrant orange color, a nutritious delicacy that is rarely sold at the market. Paired with the fresh scent of our serene conifer forests, I can see why the mushrooms love it!

Beyond my professional and academic pursuits, I have a diverse range of interests that add depth to my practice. I have a particular passion for spiritual health, searching for answers to the many questions this universe holds. I believe every person has a place, purpose, and responsibility to care for the earth and each other. I am very interested in modern psychology, how we learn, and the different parts of your mind relating to the soul. I take an inclusive interfaith approach, as my goal is to serve you and your needs, respectful of your personal beliefs or lack thereof. 

At the core of my practice is a commitment to social justice. I have crafted a comprehensive Social Equity Plan, endorsed by the Oregon Health Authority, ensuring that my services remain inclusive, accessible, and beneficial to all.

Fun, joy, and laughter are essential components of well-being, I bring this philosophy to every interaction both personal and professional.
