Facilitator Spotlight

Danilo Isai Escobar (He/El They/Elle) is a Guatemalan Psilocybin Facilitator guided by the firm belief that healing is a fundamental human right and that every individual deserves access to quality care. Drawing from his decade-long journey in healthcare, including roles such as Director of Patient Care in Behavioral Health and Psychiatry, Office Manager in Mental Health and Substance Usage, Practice Manager in Holistic Medicine, and most recently, Director of Operations for a Psilocybin Service Center in Oregon, he's seen firsthand the profound impact compassionate and ethical care can have on the individual. 

For the last six years, Danilo has been enriching his knowledge and deepening his relationship with plant medicines, focusing on bridging the gap between modern research and traditional uses of Psilocybin. In addition to his Psilocybin Training from the Alma Institute, he's received training in Herbal and Botanical Studies, Medicinal Plants, Curanderismo, Sustainable Ethnobotany Research, and Global Plant Biodiversity. Danilo views Psilocybin not as a quick fix or cure-all, but as one part of a larger, complex, deeply personal journey. 

Just as he believes in the inherent goodness of people, he also recognizes that the struggles individuals face are often rooted in adaptive responses to their environment. Through a trauma-informed, harm-reduction, and person-centered approach, he aims to create a safe, compassionate space where individuals can connect with their inner knowledge, access their resilience to make meaningful change, and cultivate love and acceptance for all parts of themselves.
