Who is Membership For?

You are hungry for community, education, and support. You crave authentic expression.

You are a healer, practitioner, or therapist looking to expand your toolbox. You are leaning into channeling, Shamanic, somatic and energetic techniques.

You are part of a medicine community, but you want additional training, resources, and support to get the most out of your healing journey. You realize that ceremony is only the beginning and want to explore your awakening gifts and awareness in the context of your everyday life.

You have your own personal medicine practice and want to explore that more alongside community reflection and training, or you are called to participate in medicine work but feel overwhelmed.

You are called to or already facilitate medicine, ceremonial or integration works and want to develop your skills and abilities and receive support to expand and grow.

You know medicine work is not a silver bullet panacea and you want to learn how to place sacramental psychedelics within a healthy context of spiritual and healing practices.

You know integration is important and want to work with facilitators who prioritize follow-up and will be available to support you after ceremonies, upgrades, and personal initiations.

You prioritize integrity and want to be part of a temple that offers scholarships, supports marginalized communities, and collaborates with sibling temples that specialize in working with BIPOC and queer communities.

You may feel called to work with psychedelics and sacred plant medicines as part of your spiritual path. You recognize these beings as powerful spirit allies and want to learn how to collaborate with them for the purpose of healing and transformation for all beings.

*First year's ceremonies with 🍄. No one is required or pushed to participate in ceremonies to be a member.

Our Values and Vision

This Temple was birthed to create a community of healers and seekers healing ourselves, supporting each other and growing together. It is a home and a respite for you. Through our collaborative field and actions we support the wider awakening on Earth.

We are devoted to Shamanic practice and life, fully integrating our experiences into aligned action in the world.

We are committed to your journey to find yourself, your authentic prayers, offerings, rituals and ceremonies.

We support your awakening abilities as you remember your animistic, Shamanic self, heal your broken lineages, and discover your indigenous ancestors and spiritual guides so they can speak through you.

We support your unique mediumship development and spiritual journey.

We acknowledge the need for energetic training and capacity in these works and train you to be able to integrate your awakening.

We support a shift from, "I need medicine to fix me." to "I am in a collaborative experience with a sacred entity and all of the unseen world. As allies, we relearn how to be in communication and ceremony together. Healing is the natural outcome of this healing field which we create together."

We stand for supportive integration and community.

We strive to create a safe and welcoming space for all, inclusive of LGBTQ+, BIPOC and other people.

We acknowledge that trauma is a part of all of our lives. Nervous system regulation and trauma-informed containers are vital for us all to feel safe with each other.

We honor the traditions and medicine carriers around the world and we honor the rethreading of our own lineages as we awaken our traditions through our works.

We honor our sacrament as a pathway to our spiritual development, practice and devotion. We are grateful to our mushroom allies and build a mycelium web of healing, awakening, and activation for ourselves, our ancestors, and our communities.

We acknowledge our privilege and place of responsibility in the world. We collaborate together to create positive social and environmental movements and projects.

Through your contributions and donations, we offer support to our sibling organizations. Our allyship allows us to share resources, wisdom and support. We partner with:

The Good Medicine Lodge, bringing these works to native communities in need.

Wilde Heart, running queer-focused circles.

Sacred Growers Network, regenerative cultivation with spiritual and biological reciprocation and gratitude. Practices are regenerative and in alignment with a holistic, healthy relationship with Earth Mother and All our Relations.

FAQS

For online membership: Can I cancel my membership?

Yes, at anytime.

Is this just for practitioners or for those wanting to be practitioners?

We are all practitioners because we are all in practice. Every moment is an opportunity to be in devotional, energetic, and personal practice. We are here to support this awakened life. But, you may never be called to share this work publically. You may never see yourself as a facilitator or someone who wants to build a business out of this work. That's great! All are welcome. You will be walking alongside some incredible practitioners and if this is your calling we are here to support that journey.

Will I get personal suport?

Yes. You can ask questions on our calls and will have an online group to bring anything that you want.
You can always reach out for additional support through private sessions with Michelle and Katherine.

What if I can't make a call?

As a member, you will have access to recordings. Non-members won't have access to recordings.

I am concerned about my experience level.

We are all at different places on the journey. We are here to develop and grow together and to meet each other where we are. Michelle and Katherine have been running courses and communities for many years and have seen such supportive containers emerge. We will meet you where you are and give you the tools to expand sustainably.

For Ceremonies: What if I haven't sat before?

Not a problem. We are here to support you through the process. We are happy to get on a call with you before to discuss anything that is coming up.

What about integration?

We are happy to support you through your integration process and will host a group call the week after our meeting.

We will be focused on integration in our regular offerings for the membership. If you need more support please reach out!

I am going through a lot right now and I am concerned about things coming up. Will I be ok in this container?

We all have times when we are going into deep grief or managing a life transition. We have decades of experience supporting people through all kinds of experiences. We've got you.

I am experiencing a spiritual, Shamanic, mediumship awakening. Is this safe space for me?

Yes! We totally get it and can give you space and support for you in the navigation of your experience.

What should I bring to retreat?

Please bring:

Water bottle
Any special cushions, seats, or snuggly things that make you feel comfy
If you want to camp in your own tent or bring your own bedding, sleeping bag, pillows etc please do. We will have a collective sleeping space and we are working to build more comfort and ease as we go along.
Layers for warmth
Musical instruments and your voice if you wish to contribute in that way
Offerings to the land, spirits, and ancestors, such as little pieces of food or medicine bundles. When making ancestral offerings, it is nice to think of what they would have found valuable and important, such as if they ate wheat, corn, beans, rice, etc, or drank certain things. Small things and amounts are great.
Personal Items: If you feel led (or if something calls you), having a personal item (a photo, a memento, crystal, or memory-invoking object) is awesome to bring. If you are in the practice of keeping an altar, a sacred object or two are welcome. We will take a moment to co-create our altar. There is also an ancestor tree altar where you can leave offerings and prayers.
Additional Things: If you feel like you might want to have something, or need something with you, please bring it.

Can I stay somewhere else for retreats?

Yes, if you live nearby, have a friend to stay with or want to rent an Airbnb or hotel, you can do that. We will sit ceremony during the day and you will be safe to drive by the evening, but you will have to check in with us before you leave. Everyone is required to stay until the closing circle.

What else might I need to know?

Health: We are still in time where being conscious of contagion is necessary. If for any reason you suspect you might have come down with something, please let’s discuss. If you have been around a lot of people or feel it might be helpful, take a test though often tests aren't accurate with some variations at first. So, better to be safe.
Seva: Part of our time together will include opportunities to practice selfless service. We will ask for volunteers to help serve food post-ceremony and ask all to help reset the temple space before departure.
Cats. There are 2 house cats. They won't bother you much but if you have allergies, please be aware. They do not go outside so please be conscious of keeping doors fully closed.
Attire: Wear something comfortable. Something ceremonial is always encouraged. Easy-on-off shoes are helpful to have with you.

Is this an inclusive space?

Yes! We are here to collaborate with all. We are a stand for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ people. We are collectively making the world a better place and that means standing for social justice issues and creating new possibilities for all. We actively seek to deconstruct our social conditioning and privilege. We care deeply about ethical practice, being trauma-informed and experienced in working with diverse communities.
