A Gift of Healing, Made Possible by the Community of the Heart

For the past three years, Standing Tall Igniting Hope has partnered with Dr. Michelle Ericksen, PhD, offering scholarships for therapeutic psilocybin experiences in Central Oregon and witnessing profound healing—greater peace, emotional release, and renewed purpose.

Inspired by this work, we’ve created a veterans-only healing experience, thoughtfully designed with care, integrity, and deep respect for the nervous system and spirit.

As we prepare for our first experience in early 2026, we’re honored to offer one full scholarship through a drawing—covering the entire experience, including travel and lodging.

What the Full Scholarship Includes

  • Pre-experience preparation session to help you arrive supported, informed, and steady
  • Post-experience integration session to help you meaningfully carry insights into everyday life
  • Round-trip airfare from anywhere in the continental United States to Redmond, Oregon
  • Four nights of lodging at SCP Redmond Soul Community Planet, an eco-conscious sanctuary intentionally designed for restoration, rest, and wellbeing (featured in slideshow)

Who This Opportunity Is For

This scholarship is intended for a U.S. veteran who:

  • Feels genuinely called to inner healing and personal transformation
  • Is open to trauma-aware, guided psilocybin-assisted healing within a structured setting
  • Understands that this experience is intentional and supportive, not recreational
  • Feels ready—emotionally and spiritually—to engage in deep inner work


You do not need to have all the answers. You do not need to be “perfectly healed.”

Readiness, honesty, and sincere intention matter most.

Note: This experience is designed to support personal insight, emotional processing, and inner exploration in a carefully held, trauma-aware environment. It is not a substitute for medical or mental health care, and participation is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any condition. All applicants will be thoughtfully screened to help ensure safety, readiness, and appropriate fit.

How to Enter the Scholarship Drawing

To help ensure this experience meets the right person at the right moment, we are inviting interested veterans to complete a short written application. Your responses do not need to be polished or impressive. They simply need to be real.

You will be asked to share:

  • Your name, age, and branch of service
  • Why you feel drawn to this work
  • What is calling you toward psychedelic healing
  • What you hope to gain or shift through this experience
  • What healing, clarity, release, or reconnection you are seeking
  • Your experience with other healing modalities
  • Your readiness – why now feels like the right time

Application Deadline: March 10th. Winner will be drawn on the 14th, and we’ll announce we have chosen a winner on that day. The name of the winner will be revealed only with their consent. If the winner chooses to stay anonymous, we will honor their request and only reveal that a winner has been selected.
