Opening and Resetting Pathways

Entheogenic institutions are religious organizations that use psychoactive substances, known as entheogens, in their spiritual practices. These substances facilitate direct experiences of the divine, spiritual awakenings and personal transformation. These sacred sacraments are a part of our ceremonies, healing rituals, and as a means to connect with the spiritual realm.

The use of entheogens in a religious or spiritual context among Indigenous cultures around the world spans thousands of years and includes a wide variety of plants and fungi.  Many of these cultures used this methodology for an individuals rite of passage.

Respect in Honoring Indigenous Traditions

Respect the cultural and spiritual traditions associated with all entheogens. Avoiding cultural appropriations, seeking to educate others and understand the deeper significance of these practices is a responsibility. The indigenous use of entheogens among the indigenous all over the world is a profound and integral aspect of our spiritual and cultural heritage.

We are and continue to collaborate with Indigenous practitioners and work with indigenous healers and shamans who have traditional knowledge and expertise. This collaboration enriches the sacred practice and ensures cultural integrity
