Addiction is Not Your Disease…
It’s a Symptom. A Doorway.
A Call Home to Your Purpose.
You’re not broken, you are being initiated.
I guide people who are ready to shift their paradigm on addiction - to break free from destructive habits, and alchemize their pain into purpose.
Through use of sacred plant medicines and deep integration, I help you remember how truly powerful you are.
You are the creator of your life and reality.
Let me show you the map.
This isn’t “Recovery” It’s not about “Getting Sober”.
It’s about waking up, remembering, and finding your way back to balance.
It’s about actually living again -maybe for the very first time!
People hear the word “recovery” and picture a life of restriction. Sitting in circles, repeating stories of their lowest moments. White-knuckle sobriety.
Missing the party. Missing the celebration. Missing the fun.
But that’s not what this is!
This is a life of freedom. Of balance. Of more fun than you can imagine!
When you come back into alignment, you don’t need to escape anymore. You’ll be able to drink again someday - if you choose to.
You can dance, celebrate, and explore - you’ll continue to expand your consciousness working with sacred medicines - intentionally.
You don’t have to give anything up.
You get to come home to yourself and your balance.
You’re not an alcoholic.
And you’re not powerless.
Unless you choose to adopt that identity.
You are not broken. You’re actually already whole.
Now you’re being called to remember and awaken.
On Your Path to Transformation we will:
Work intentionally with psilocybin and sacred plant medicines to increase neuroplasticity, access deep inner wisdom, get to the actual root of your addiction, and reconnect to your truth.
Rewire your brain by identifying and releasing limiting beliefs and subconscious patterns rooted in trauma, fear, and outdated conditioning that keep you stuck in addiction patterns.
Understand and integrate your emotions - learn to feel them, ground them, and regulate them - rather than being controlled by them.
Explore a holistic approach to mind, body, and spirit — incorporate practices like movement, breathwork, adventure and nature therapy, fitness, sound healing, nutrition, and exploring your creativity.
Establish soul-aligned habits, build integrity, and live from intention, not compulsion.
Receive one-on-one coaching and support to prepare for, navigate, and integrate life-changing psychedelic experiences with presence and purpose.
Explore microdosing as a gentle tool for clarity, creativity, and emotional balance - to support grounded integration and lasting transformation.
Hi, I’m Erik Lowry
I know what it feels like to be stuck in a hole that I couldn’t manage to stop digging.
Drowning my loneliness and depression with bottle after bottle - trying to hide the pile of empties from my neighbors and family every recycling day. Trying to hide living a lie from everyone… and the shame in knowing the only person who truly saw me was the liquor store clerk on my daily visit.
Alcohol nearly killed me. I had multiple doctors tell me it would kill me. And there were many times I wanted it to.
Throughout my 21-year drinking career, I tried everything - traditional 12-step rehabs, alternative programs, multiple rounds of AA - and was committed wholeheartedly. Nothing stuck for more than a few months. Then every time I “relapsed,” it only deepened the shame. I felt like a failure. I thought I was hopeless.
But eventually, I realized that the guilt and shame were the problem.
The thing that never sat right with me about AA was the first step: “I am powerless.”
That never felt true.
Yes, I was trapped in a deep mental, physical, and emotional dependence on alcohol;
But I was not powerless.
And I was not an alcoholic.
I refused to adopt the identity of a diseased alcoholic, because who I am is SO much more than that!
I believed there had to be another way.
Then I finally found it!
I’ll never forget the day it shifted for me.It wasn’t a dramatic rock bottom. No DUI. No hospital stay. It was a decision.
A decision to stop poisoning myself with alcohol. A decision to start living in my integrity. To believe that I deserved more in this life.
I deserved to be healthy. I deserved the kind of love, success, and purpose I always dreamed of. I deserved to give myself the chance to become the man I knew I could be.
And I knew that meant I needed to stop drinking. I poured everything down the drain that day. And just like that - I was done.
It wasn’t like all the other times. It was like flipping off a switch. There were no withdrawals. No cravings. I just didn’t want it anymore - I wanted that better life for myself.
That moment set me fully on the path of growth - physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Then, when I discovered psychedelics, this growth exploded!
Plant medicines reconnected me to my soul - to my spirituality. Got me aligned with what I actually believe about God and the bigger meaning of all of this.
Plant medicines and spiritual practice taught me how to truly forgive myself. Taught me how to truly forgive others. They helped me recognize all of the trauma and unconscious programming I had been carrying around my whole life - fears and burdens I inherited from my parents - and they helped me realize these were never mine to carry. I could put it all down.
This path reawakened me to my purpose.
I learned how to actually feel my emotions, not bottle them and be controlled by them.
I learned how to love myself fully!
How to live fully and in alignment.
I found balance.
I realized - my drinking had always been a symptom. I was self medicating.
Drinking was a way to numb the pain of being disconnected from my soul, disconnected from my truth, and disconnected from my purpose.
And I found my purpose: To guide others along this same path!
In 2023, I became certified through Being True to You as a Psychedelic Integration Coach. I also trained as a psychedelic facilitator and began working deeply with plant medicines and entheogens. Since then, I’ve guided individuals through profoundly personal journeys - helping them transform their relationship with alcohol and other substances, reconnect with their truth, and reclaim their purpose and align with the life they were meant to live.
In addition to coaching, I’m a speaker, writer, and event facilitator. I organize and lead events in my community focused on healing, embodiment, addiction, and men’s work - offering people the tools and space to connect and come back to their authentic selves.
I work one-on-one with clients, with groups, and in partnership with ketamine clinics and licensed psilocybin facilitators here in Oregon. I also support clients across the country working with and integrating these medicines - people ready to step out of survival mode and into a life of purpose, presence, and deep alignment.
My work is grounded, heart-led, intuitive, and rooted in lived experience. While I’ve worked and have experience with a wide range of medicines - including (not limited to) psilocybin, ketamine, iboga, 5-MeO-DMT, MDMA - I believe these medicines are not magic bullets. They are tools. They are doorways. They hold up a mirror and remind us of what we already know - they show us the work we need to do to make lasting change in our lives.
My long-term vision is to create a retreat center in Bend, Oregon - a legal, soul-centered space for people to reset, reconnect, and reclaim their lives. A new kind of “recovery center.” One where people can actually healing and springboard them into their new life.
I'm also in the process of writing a book called Awakening Through Addiction - a guide for those ready to move beyond sobriety and into wholeness an connection.
My dharma is to shift the paradigm around how we understand and approach addiction in this country. Not as a disease - but as a disconnection. Not something to be medicated or managed with sobriety - but something to be alchemized into a life of freedom, connection, and embodied wholeness.
Because the truth is - we live in an addicted culture.
A culture designed to keep us disconnected.
Disconnected from our bodies.
Disconnected from one another.
Disconnected from our soul.
My mission is to help us all remember how to feel.
How to connect.
How to come home to our truth.
That is who I am. That is my work.
One conversation, one ceremony, one soul at a time.
