our guiding force
the seed of ascend mushrooms
Ascend Mushrooms is a pioneering wellness brand rooted in the heart of Bend, Oregon. We are dedicated to merging the ancient rituals of ceremonial-grade matcha and cacao and the medicinal properties of functional mushrooms with modern lifestyle. Right now, we sell medicinal latte blends, but there is a much bigger mission behind what we're doing here. It is our mission to create products and spaces for people to heal.

the catalyst to building ascend
was one of tragedy, grief, and illness. Instead of running away from their circumstances, the founders leaned into self-healing practices such as breathwork, somatic healing, mentorship, the intentional use of psychoactive compounds, and integration; which were further enriched by the grounding rituals of matcha, cacao, and functional mushrooms.
something unexpected emerged
Through the devotion of these practices, deep evolution began. It was as though they sipped from an elixir of clarity, and every drop became a beacon of healing.
The extent to which they embodied safety and wholeness was the extent to which they were able to take risk and be in relentless pursuit of their vision.
aligned to their highest good
This personal renaissance wasn't meant to be cloistered away; it revealed their purpose. As they emerged from this period with open hearts and newfound wisdom, they founded Ascend.
Their mission? Create products and spaces for people to heal.
