Gabriel Castillo Profile Photo

Magic Mushroom Expert, CEO, Initiated Curandero (Legal Plant Medicine Facilitator), Author, Course Instructor

My name is Gabriel Castillo and I’m a Magic Mushroom Expert, CEO, Initiated Curandero (Legal Plant Medicine Facilitator), Author and Course Instructor who is on a mission to help others become their own healers and detach themselves from dogmas that are not their own. Working specifically with mushrooms, my focus is on opening deeper mental channels for those who are ready to receive it.

My journey started after the transition of a close friend. This catalyzed the deep dive journey into understanding energy, during which I began shedding layers of myself. The universe had very particular plans and led me to remote areas of the world where I immersed myself in the power of the mind. This voyage of inner discovery is how I gained my formal education as a Certified Facilitator in Mindfulness/Meditation, Law Of Attraction Coach, Yoga Therapist, Hypnotherapist, Sound Healing Practitioner, and Psychedelic Guide.
