Hi there,

You may know me as David V. Horste, lapidary artist. Another part of my life is my identity as Leo S. Sunshine—Radical Faerie community organizer and minister. Some call me "Father Leo," others "Dr. Sunshine." You can call me whatever you like. What truly matters is that I’m here to walk with you on a path of healing, guided by what I’ve learned over the years.

For decades, I was on antidepressants, and it took years of dedication and microdosing psychedelics to wean myself off them. During my journey, there wasn’t anyone to guide or advise me—I had to figure it all out on my own. It was lonely, uncertain, and unsupported at times. I don’t want anyone else to feel that way.

I’ve been offering spiritual counseling in my community for years, and I’ve personally practiced microdosing since 2019. Now, I’m here to help you unlock the transformative power of microdosing through my Magic Medicine Microdosing Ministry, where therapeutic methods meet spiritual insights. Whether you're looking to integrate microdosing into your daily routine or seeking deeper spiritual alignment, I’m here to guide you along your path.

What’s On Offer:

✨ 60-Minute Introductory Session – A deep dive into your personal goals, challenges, and curiosities. This hour-long session offers customized support, practical tips, and spiritual guidance to help you make the most of your microdosing journey. After purchasing a session, I’ll email you to schedule a time for either a private Zoom call or we can meet in my office in Portland.

✨ Monthly Maintenance Sessions – Progress comes with consistency. These check-ins can be from 15 minutes up to one hour, providing focused guidance to help you stay on track with your microdosing practice as a healing and spiritual tool.

Why Choose Me?

As part of my Microdosing Ministry, I honor the sacred traditions of plant and fungal medicine while embracing contemporary therapeutic practices. I offer:
🌿 Evidence-based insights on microdosing protocols.
🌈 A compassionate, queer-centered approach that values diversity and inclusivity.
✨ Spiritual tools to connect with your higher self and align your practice with your intentions.

How It Works:

1. Purchase a session: Choose your price on a sliding scale of $20 to $200.
2. Check your email: I’ll reach out to schedule a time that works for both of us.
3. Meet with me: Sessions are held via private video or phone calls, or in person if you are local to Portland.

I’ll also help you navigate how to safely and reliably access microdoses of a supplement you choose for your journey. This was one of the hardest parts for me when I began, and I’ll ensure it’s as easy, smooth, trustworthy, reliable, and consistent as possible for you.

This $20 to $200 sliding scale is designed to make my services accessible to everyone. Please select a price that feels fair for your financial situation. Those who can pay more help me offer services to those who need to pay less.

Your Journey Begins Here

We all have a symphony of selves living in the concert hall of our heads, hearts, and guts. Microdosing has helped me quiet some voices and discern which ones to truly listen to.

While some wonder if microdosing’s benefits are “just the placebo effect,” I like to remind them:
"The placebo effect doesn’t work if you don’t take the placebo."

The placebo effect is powerful, often blending seamlessly with the substance’s clinical effects. When embarking on a microdosing journey, it’s essential to harness both the science and the sacred, aligning intention with action.

As a Spiritual Counselor and Microdosing Minister, I can help you explore if the placebo effect is right for you—because sometimes, belief is the most potent medicine of all. I prepare my own capsules of Magic Medicine using both active and inactive ingredients, even using colored capsules to amplify the placebo effect.

A Final Word

There is no magic pill except the one that wakes you up to the magic inside you, everyone, and everything. Being present is like microdosing eternity. We are the medicine, and we are magic.

Magic medicines can help us on this journey, but the true transformation happens within. If this resonates with you, I look forward to hearing from you. Together, we’ll uncover what’s next.

With love,
Leo S. Sunshine
