Our Purpose
To inspire transformation.
We embrace the interconnectedness of existence. We organize spiritual retreats and ceremonies centered on expanding consciousness through engagement with sacred medicines.
Our offerings also include opportunities for holistic healing, self-inquiry, integration, and practices that support the embodiment of happiness and liberation.
WE INTEND to contribute to the happiness and liberation of all beings through the ancient sacred practice of ceremonial work with entheogens to facilitate direct mystical experiences that reveal our innate divinity.
WE ACKNOWLEDGE the ancient lineage of entheogenic practices that date back millennia. We embrace and honor these sacred traditions with humility, aligning ourselves with the teachings and ancestral wisdom of spiritual teachers who have paved the way for our exploration.
WE DEMONSTRATE that the sacred use of entheogens within a supportive and loving ceremonial setting is a powerful avenue for reconnection. Far from being a means of escapism or disassociation, this practice serves as a pathway for our spiritual quest, enhancing our understanding of unity.
WE BELIEVE that our moral and ethical responsibilities require us to approach every situation with wisdom and compassion. This commitment aligns with the unity that resonates throughout the fabric of existence.
WE BELIEVE that the insights found within diverse spiritual traditions can help guide our path and harmonize with the essence of innate truth present within all beings.
WE BELIEVE that this sacramental work empowers us to reconnect with the Earth and her wisdom. This practice encourages us to realize our symbiotic relationship with nature, leading us to conduct ourselves with respect and care for our environment and to inspire others to do the same.
WE BELIEVE that humanity possesses the capacity to recognize and honor the intelligence of nature through both intuitive insight and scientific exploration. Engaging in these acts is seen as a sacred collaboration with the inherent intelligence of the cosmos and consciousness itself.
WE BELIEVE that the formulations of Sacred Medicines, prepared with intention and integrity and received within a ceremonial setting, serve as a time-honored and valid means for accessing direct mystical experiences and engaging with the true nature of reality.
WE BELIEVE that the ceremonial use of entheogens opens us to experience the unconditional love that unites all beings. This direct mystical experience deepens our understanding of existence and enhances our ability to engage in compassionate relationships with ourselves and others.
WE BELIEVE that entheogens facilitate access to our intrinsic nature, igniting pathways to consciousness expansion. This communion transcends all identity structures, including those of age, race, gender and sexual oritentation, and allows all beings to experience a direct connection to universal consciousness.
WE BELIEVE that by engaging in sacred work with entheogens, we experience higher states of consciousness, becoming adept at navigating spiritual realms and removing from us the fear of death. This understanding allows us to engage in life from an inner orientation of freedom, courage and creativity.
WE BELIEVE that through the ceremonial use of entheogens, practitioners can connect with their divine essence. The Sacred Medicine Path reveals our true nature—the eternal spirit within—and fosters the realization of truth, consciousness, and bliss.
WE BELIEVE that this transformative path purifies the practitioner, dispelling illusions of separation. By embracing this understanding, we awaken to the realization of our interconnectedness with all beings.
WE BELIEVE that engaging with these Sacred Medicines reveals that unconditional love is the foundation of being, the essence of existence, and the core of all life. This realization underscores the importance of nurturing compassion for ourselves and the world around us.
WE BELIEVE that, following the transition from physical existence, our spirits continue to navigate the realms accessible through the use of entheogens. This understanding helps us cultivate a deep acceptance and appreciation of the cycles of life, death, and rebirth intrinsic to all levels of existence.
WE HOLD DEAR the belief that the Sacred Medicines show us the way to reconnect to our Self. These experiences encourage us to commune with and embody our true nature. By integrating these insights and practices, we contribute to the happiness and liberation of ourselves and all beings, embodying the realization that we are many petals of a single lotus.
RELIGIOUS PROTECTIONS
The First Amendment of the United States Constitution ensures protection for the free exercise of religion, while the Fourteenth Amendment extends these protections to the state and local levels. Together, these amendments safeguard the practice of sincere religious beliefs in several ways.
Free Exercise Clause: The First Amendment's Free Exercise Clause states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." This clause ensures that individuals have the right to freely practice their chosen religion without government interference, as long as their actions do not infringe on the rights of others or violate public safety.
Protection from State Interference: The Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause incorporates the protections of the First Amendment to the states. It prohibits state and local governments from infringing upon an individual's freedom of religion or interfering with their sincere religious beliefs. This incorporation ensures that individuals are protected from both federal and state actions that would impede their religious practices.
Accommodation of Religious Practices: The First Amendment's protection of religious freedom requires the government to accommodate religious practices whenever possible. This means that laws or policies must be formulated in a way that avoids unnecessary burdens on individuals' religious beliefs and practices. If a law places a substantial burden on someone's sincere religious exercise, it must be justified by a compelling government interest and implemented in the least restrictive manner possible.
Non-discrimination and Equal Treatment: The First and Fourteenth Amendments protect individuals from religious discrimination. Government entities and public institutions cannot treat individuals differently based on their religious beliefs or favor one religion over another. This principle ensures that individuals are not disadvantaged or excluded from public life due to their religious affiliation.
Freedom of Expression: The First Amendment protects not only the free exercise of religion but also the freedom of speech and expression related to religious beliefs. Individuals have the right to express and share their religious beliefs publicly, engage in religious worship, and engage in religious activities without fear of censorship or retaliation by the government.
