Tracey Tiret

Hi, I’m Tracey! I grew up in West Marin County California, surrounded by lots of nature. My first introduction to mushrooms was through my best friend in the Summer before High School. This was not only life-changing, it woke me up to the reality of a spirit world. In my last year of HS, a peyote initiation would completely transform my life from dissociation to self-discovery. I went to college in Santa Barbara and San Francisco. In 2003, before graduating from SFSU, I traveled to Manaus brazil, partaking in one of the first group ayahuasca ceremonies led by Silvia Polovoy, who now runs the Spirit Vine Ayahuasca Retreat Center. It was there that my passion for healing with psychedelic plant medicine ignited.

After getting my BS in Kinesiology, Human Movement Studies, and working as a Physical Therapy Aide practicing upledger’s CranioSacral Therapy, I also studied plant medicine. After some time spent with Juliette de Baïracli Levy, I was inspired to go to naturopathic medical school. My husband and I moved to Portland Oregon where I was to attend, but instead, I became a Clinical Herbalist. I attended The Traditional School of Western Herbalism (aka Vital Ways Institute) and discovered I had the ability to help countless people overcome acute and chronic ailments, that conventional medicine failed to resolve. I’ve worked in informal settings, wellness departments, and medical clinics. Healing with plants, fungi, cacti, and ayahuasca has been a lifelong path on the journey to becoming a facilitator of psychedelic medicine- for those living with trauma. I have also attended several workshops at The Foundation for Shamanic Studies. I spent a week with Don Alverto Taxo, given the highest honor of Master Iachak by the Shamanic Council of South America.

In 2007 my husband and I went to visit Paul Stamets for his Stamets Cultivation Seminar to learn how to grow medicinal mushrooms. Growing mushrooms is a passion, so throughout the pandemic, I micro-dosed psilocybin to deal with the trauma that came with all of all the division. Fast forward to October of 2022 when I began Innertrek; I’ve since graduated and have been licensed by the state of Oregon to be a practitioner of Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy. I’m also an Educator at The Changa Institute, and I’m teaching the skills of Preparation, Individual and Group Facilitation, as well as Integration coaching.
