Shasta Winn
Program Director
Intro Video

Shasta is a compassionate counselor and guide who has been actively supporting the personal journeys of others since 2006. She attained an undergraduate degree in social work from Wheelock College in Boston, Massachusetts, and over the course of the next 15 years, designed and supported over a dozen outpatient, intensive outpatient, and transitional living programs in New Hampshire. Shasta received her graduate degree in Psychology and Counseling from Goddard College, in Vermont, in 2012, and from 2009-2017 was a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (MLADC) in New Hampshire. Shasta operated her private outpatient practice and halfway house, Another Way Counseling PLLC, from 2014-2017 and briefly taught undergraduate Biopsychology as an online adjunct faculty instructor for Southern NH University, before transitioning to focus on healing using journeying specifically. From 2017 to present, Shasta has been focusing on healing using hypnotic journeying and plant medicines. She attended conferences and workshops hosted by MAPS and Zendo, but completed her personal training and initiations into these practices as a self-guided mystical process, isolated for 40-days deep in nature. During this private hermitage with intense focus on psilocybin, Shasta experienced great transformation and formed her relationship with the mushroom, which now allows her to confidently guide others through their sessions. She has been facilitating private journeys, using psilocybin, since 2018. Shasta is a passionate teacher and guide, with a grateful heart, who is serious about her role and responsibilities as a director of such a training program.
