Frequently Asked Questions — Psilocybin Therapy at Vivid Minds
Everything you need to know about psilocybin therapy at Vivid Minds Wellness in Denver, Colorado.
How much do sessions cost?
Group microdose sessions (90 minutes) are $150 per person. Full-dose group sessions (3 hours) are $300 per person. Our private one-on-one 8-hour journey is $2,800. All pricing is inclusive with no hidden fees. The medicine, facilitator time, space, and all session materials are included in the price listed.
Is psilocybin legal in Colorado?
Yes. Colorado voters passed Proposition 122 in 2022, which legalized supervised psilocybin services at licensed healing centers for adults 21 and older. Vivid Minds Wellness is fully licensed by the Colorado Natural Medicine Division (License NMHC-00003) and operates in complete compliance with state law. You are not breaking any law by participating in a session here.
Do I need prior psychedelic experience?
No. Our $150 microdose sessions are specifically designed for people who have never tried psilocybin. The 2mg dose is subtle — you stay fully present and aware.
Is dosing required?
No. Dosing is optional in every session. You can participate in yoga, breathwork, art therapy, or meditation without taking psilocybin.
What happens during a session?
Every session includes intention setting, the guided experience (yoga, breathwork, art, or quiet journey), integration time with journaling, and a closing circle with herbal tea and light snacks.
Who are the facilitators?
All sessions are led by licensed clinical facilitators trained in psilocybin-assisted therapy, breathwork, somatic healing, and integration.
Do I need a doctor's referral or diagnosis to book?
No. Colorado's natural medicine program is not a medical program. You do not need a diagnosis, a prescription, or a referral from a doctor or therapist. Any adult 21 or older who completes our intake screening can book a session.
What happens after my session and what is integration?
Integration is the process of making meaning from your session and translating insights into lasting change in your daily life. At the end of every session at Vivid Minds Wellness we include a brief integration conversation before you leave. We strongly recommend continuing this work with a therapist, particularly if significant emotional material came up during your session. We maintain a curated list of Denver therapists who specialize in psychedelic integration and are happy to connect you with the right person. Give yourself at least 24 hours of rest after your session and avoid making major decisions in that window.
Can I participate if I am on SSRIs or other medications?
SSRIs can reduce the effects of psilocybin, and certain medication combinations require a conversation before your session. Please disclose all current medications honestly on your intake form. We will review your information and discuss any considerations with you directly before you book. We would rather have that conversation upfront than have you arrive unprepared.
What is psilocybin art therapy?
We’re the only healing center in Colorado offering psilocybin-assisted art therapy. Our 3-hour Extended Art Therapy session ($300) combines a 12mg psilocybin dose with painting, clay work, and intentional music. No art skill needed.
How do I prepare for a session?
Avoid alcohol 24 hours before. Eat a light meal 2-3 hours prior. Wear comfortable clothes. Set a personal intention. We’ll guide you through everything else.
Is there a minimum age?
Yes. All sessions are for adults 21 and older. Valid ID required.
What’s the connection to Vivid Minds Cafe?
Our cafe is next door at 1545 S Broadway. It serves functional mushroom coffee, matcha, and wellness drinks (no psilocybin). The cafe is open to all ages and is a great zero-pressure way to meet our team.
Is there scientific evidence for psilocybin therapy?
Yes. Psilocybin-assisted therapy has been studied in randomized clinical trials at Johns Hopkins, Imperial College London, NYU, and other leading institutions. Key findings include: a 2021 Johns Hopkins trial found psilocybin produced large, rapid antidepressant effects in major depression (JAMA Psychiatry); a 2022 follow-up showed 75% of participants maintained clinical response at 12 months (Journal of Psychopharmacology); a 2021 Imperial College trial in the New England Journal of Medicine found psilocybin matched or outperformed a leading SSRI antidepressant, with remission rates roughly double the antidepressant group; and the FDA has granted psilocybin Breakthrough Therapy designation for treatment-resistant depression. Links to all studies are available on our Sessions page.
How many people are in a group session?
All group sessions at Vivid Minds Wellness are limited to 4 to 8 participants. We keep our groups intentionally small to ensure every person receives attentive facilitation and the space feels safe and intimate. Spots fill quickly.
What is the difference between microdosing and a full dose?
A microdose is a sub-perceptual amount of psilocybin, typically 1 to 3mg. At this level you remain fully functional, clear-headed, and in control. Most people notice a gentle lift in mood, slightly richer sensory awareness, and greater emotional accessibility. Our microdose sessions use 2mg and run 90 minutes at $150 per person. A full dose produces a more significant psychedelic experience with deeper introspection, emotional opening, and perceptual shifts. Our full-dose group sessions use 12mg and run 3 hours at $300 per person. Our private 8-hour journey uses a high dose and is designed for people ready for deep, comprehensive work.
What should I do to prepare?
In the week before your session we recommend reducing alcohol, getting quality sleep, and spending some quiet time thinking about your intentions for the experience. The day before, eat clean and light and limit screens and stimulating media in the evening. The morning of your session, eat a light meal 2 to 4 hours before arrival, limit caffeine, and wear comfortable loose clothing. Your facilitator will provide additional guidance specific to your session type after you book.
Are sessions confidential?
Yes. Everything that happens in your session is confidential and stays between you and your facilitator. We do not share client information with anyone. Confidentiality is a core part of our practice and is consistent with standard professional standards of care.
