Scottie Oceano Ingallinella
Scottie is a former pro athlete of 13 years, lifelong entrepreneur, and currently serves as a spiritual mentor and lead facilitator at Sol Temple Consciousness Center, a 508c1a non-profit faith spiritual based organization.
His experience and exploration of non-ordinary states of consciousness began at age 7, marked by profound spiritual encounters like out-of-body experiences and supernatural events. Encouraged and guided by his father to explore and develop these experiences further at that young age, Scottie's journey now spans over 45 years. Committed to a sober lifestyle for his spiritual and athletic pursuits, a potent traumatic brain injury left Scottie grappling with depression and extremely disruptive physical symptoms leading him to reconsider his options. Unwilling to accept the prognosis of lifelong symptoms by a team of neurologists, he discovered the healing potential of psilocybin. Through calculated, holistic approaches, combined with intentional psilocybin journeys, Scottie not only defied the diagnosed life sentence of disruptive brain injury symptoms but emerged completely healed.
His decades of experience with self-induced non-ordinary states of consciousness and spiritual practices was the foundation to lead Scottie to navigate his own path of healing with the powerful medicinal properties of psilocybin. This fostered a natural progression to collaborate with and support others from all walks of life struggling with diverse challenges hindering their own healing and growth, ultimately guiding him to conceive Sol Temple Consciousness Center on the Big Island of Hawaii, where he guides others through their difficulties with compassion on a path to lasting transformational healing.
