FT. LAUDERDALE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / May 7, 2024 / Kaya Holdings, Inc., (“KAYS” or the “Company”) (OTCQB:KAYS) announced today that the Company has been awarded its license to operate a Psilocybin Service Center by the Oregon Health Authority (the “OHA”).

Oregon is the only state in the US that has developed a licensing framework that allows for the administration of Psilocybin in a safe, legal setting under the guidance of State Licensed Facilitators. The Company, through its Fifth Dimension Therapeutics, Inc. subsidiary, plans to operate The Sacred Mushroom (“TSM”), a full-service psychedelic treatment center that will allow clients to receive Psilocybin Treatments in a setting offering significant experience differentiators and concept innovations. The Sacred Mushroom expects to service its first guests within the next thirty days.

Interior Views, The Sacred Mushroom

Located on the top floor of the historic Falcon Building in downtown Portland and spread over approximately 11,000 square feet, The Sacred Mushroom will offer guests “room to roam,” unsurpassed comfort, optional private rooms, activity zones with yoga, listening stations, journaling chairs and art expression, a special “sensation room,” a relaxing indoor garden and customized experience through our proprietary Synergy By Design “your setting, your way” program.

According to Precedence Research, the U.S. behavioral health market was more than $83 billion in 2022 and is expected to exceed $136 billion by 2032. Psilocybin, a naturally occurring compound found in “magic mushrooms,” is one of an emerging class of psychedelic medicines that contain potent psychoactive chemicals that can affect human perception, emotions, and other cognitive functions. Recent university medical studies have shown psilocybin treatment to be a potentially effective treatment path for people suffering from trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety disorders, addictions and other hard to treat mental health conditions.

Companies such as Compass Pathways, ATAI Life Sciences, and Cybin are engaged in developing synthetic versions of psilocybin and psilocin (the active ingredient in “magic mushrooms”) to offer as alternative therapies for treatment resistant mental health disorders. Delivery of these synthetic psilocybin options, when available, are expected to be administered at licensed psychedelic treatment centers such as The Sacred Mushroom.

“The introduction of legal psilocybin treatments in Oregon marks the beginning of perhaps the most disruptive force in the mental health sector, transforming treatment protocol and redirecting resources,” states KAYS CEO Craig Frank. “Our distinctive guest experience model, the environment offered by the size and design of the facility and the dedication of our staff are designed to make The Sacred Mushroom the premier choice for anyone turning to psychedelics for relief or transformation. For these reasons I believe KAYS is well positioned to become a leader in the ‘delivery of care’ of psychedelics.”

KAYS’ Oregon Based Psilocybin Treatment Center is on track to be the first of its kind operated by a U.S. Public Company

FT. LAUDERDALE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / October 18, 2023 / Kaya Holdings, Inc., (“KAYS” or the “Company”) (OTCQB:KAYS) announced today that it has closed an additional round of bridge financing targeted to complete KAYS’ planned psilocybin treatment center in Portland, Oregon. The facility will operate under the name “The Sacred Mushroom.

Total funds received from our bridge financing since the first installment was received in June 2023, are $600,000, with no commissions or fees associated with the financing. The funds are not convertible into KAYS stock. $100K of the funds are in the form of short-term financing with repayment due March 15, 2023, and $500K is due to be repaid from 10% of KAYS’ revenues quarterly, with any unpaid balance due June 30, 2025.

We believe that KAYS is presently the only U.S. public company engaged in securing an Oregon Health Authority (“OHA”) license to open a psilocybin treatment center, aiming to create a setting that is unmatched by any other facility and providing access to relief from treatment-resistant mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, additions, and eating disorders.

Our Treatment Model
A recently published report on psilocybin treatment prices in Oregon showed that Initial prices for one facility range from $300 for a group microdose session to $3,500 for an individual high-dose session, with another facility pricing first-time full-dose treatments at $15,000 (these prices do not include the cost of the psilocybin, which can run from $300 to $500).

KAYS expects its planned model facility to offer a superior setting, broader activity and treatment options, integrated cultivation and processing, and accessible pricing, thereby enabling us to deliver a superior treatment experience at a much lower price than the competition, while still achieving profitability.

The Sacred Mushroom has approximately 11,000 sq ft. and will provide visitors with access to our microdosing café, private treatment rooms and group session areas, and activity zones with yoga, listening stations, journaling chairs, and art expression for distinctive, effective, and positive psilocybin treatments.

Timeline
KAYS expects to complete its initial license application within the next 30 days, and subject to OHA approval, intends to bring the facility online within 90 days. KAYS plans to operate The Sacred Mushroom as part of its Fifth Dimension Therapeutics, Inc. subsidiary (“FDT”), which also plans to work cooperatively with select pharmaceutical companies to maximize the curative potential of psilocybin.
