While we recognize that sacred plants can be powerful tools for creating transformational moments of physical and spiritual break-through, we are committed to their intentional, sacred and conscious use. As such we have created offerings that minister to those who have sat with some of these powerful plants and need help integrating or healing from their experience.

Many of these sacred plants have been used for hundreds of years in indigenous cultures in sacred practices and rituals. The world has greatly benefitted from some of these tribes and groups welcoming outsiders and sharing their plants, songs, rituals and wisdom. A few elders and shaman have even left their forests and communities to bring these traditions and medicines to the outside world. Some have also trained outsiders how to share their songs, medicines and traditions.

While it’s exciting to know that millions of people have benefitted from spiritual advancement due to their experience with these plants, many have also had adverse and harmful experiences.

In 2021 our church leaders and other community members began to discuss concerns about the overuse and sometimes misuse of some of these powerful plants and other practices like frog and toad venom in Hawaii and elsewhere. We agreed that a core ministry and focus should be helping people who’ve participated in some of these practices integrate their experience. Whether they had an enlightening and transformational or traumatic experience it can often be challenging to reintegrate back into ‘normal life’.

Some of the most common types psychoactive and psychedelic sacred plant “medicines”
are listed below. We put the word medicine in quotes because medicine implies that we are sick and need healing. Maybe we are and need something outside ourselves to help us awaken to the truth that we have never been disconnected from God and everything we have is already within us but we enjoy believing otherwise. We believe the Kingdom of God is within us. While we value the miraculous transformations these plants can create, we focus on sound, breath, prayer, meditation, yoga and other modalities of spiritual transformation and growth.

To anyone thinking of participating in a plant medicine ceremony we encourage you to seek references for those facilitating and to be very prayerful and intentional with your decision. . If you have questions or are seeking assistance integrating please feel free to reach out to us.

Many Blessings
