7 GATES: A NEW Model for THE Future

We are a facilitator-powered collective — a sanctuary where licensed psilocybin guides join as members, weaving their gifts into a shared healing network rather than working in isolation. Our model is designed to dismantle the barriers of traditional healthcare: fostering accessibility, mutual support, and regenerative community economics.

As integrative medicine practitioners and educators, we center nature-honoring methodologies as a way to repair fragmentation — within ourselves, within our communities, and within our greater living world.

We believe all bodies hold the innate capacity for healing when met with the right container, context, and compassionate support — and we see psychedelic mushrooms as potent, generous allies in this process.

Whether you come as a client, a facilitator, or a future collaborator, we welcome you into a growing web of care, reciprocity, and renewal.

We look forward to supporting your healing.

We are a team of co-founders and collaborators brought together by a shared commitment to deep healing, health equity, and the sacred potential of psilocybin to restore wholeness. We believe healing is not only personal, but collective — shaped by systemic forces, ancestral wounds, and unseen energetic realms that impact our health and wellbeing.

Our work at 7 Gates Sanctuary is rooted in the long-standing collaboration many of us began through our sister clinics, Be Well Holistic Health and TeamWorks non-profit, integrative neurology clinics designed to be accessible, inclusive, and radically supportive of people navigating complex health journeys. Our sister clinics offer sliding scale and Oregon Health Plan services, focusing on offering queer, chronic illness and injury and other marginalized experiences trade-based care for services like neuro-acupuncture, psychotherapy, naturopathic primary care, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, physical therapy, watsu, and more — all in a setting that honors the dignity of each person’s lived experience.

Dessa Bingley, our co-founder and Medical Director of both Be Well and Teamworks, brings deep roots in building accessible, mission-driven systems of care. Dessa is also a death doula and community builder focused on dignity, equity and systemic change.

Dr. Doug Wingate, DTCM, FMHC, L.Ac., MP-MPr, co-founder offers decades of experience in brain health, pain recovery, and integrative medicine grounded in both clinical science and personal healing. Dr. Wingate is one of the only licensed psilocybin facilitators in the U.S. specializing in personalized wellness solutions for neurological, emotional, and neuro-cognitive conditions, as well as acute and chronic pain.

Mars Aqueous, co-founder weaves together a decade of cultural strategy, ritual facilitation, and decolonial healing frameworks that honor the soul’s journey in times of transformation. Mars stewards the language, vision, and experience of the sanctuary, ensuring that our work stays relational, communal, and equity-driven.

Jenna Oakley, our Operations Director with 20+ years of experience in clinical operations and a fierce commitment to health equity, serves as both a licensed psilocybin facilitator and the first point of connection for new clients and facilitators. Her gift for creating trust, warmth, and clarity helps set the tone for every journey that begins here.

Ashlee Turner, our Intake Coordinator and Business Development Director brings over 15 years of leadership in agribusiness, nonprofit food distribution, and the medical cannabis world, where she has helped countless people understand the value of plant-based medicine. Her deep belief in community care and natural healing systems informs our ecosystem at every level.

We are supported by a dedicated operations team and a growing constellation of licensed psilocybin facilitators — each committed to walking beside others in sacred, trauma-aware, and soul-honoring ways. Together, we are cultivating a sanctuary for collective healing, where no one is left behind.
