As advanced practitioners in the Santo Daime—a community-based, partipatory Amazonian spiritual tradition— we have experienced the healing and transformation that is possible when we cultivate expanded states of consciousness in a crystalline group container. Oriented by our apprenticeship in this lineage, we hold ceremonies immersed in nature, guided by live music, and rooted in ancestral wisdom. A deep bow of gratitude to the teachers who have shared their tradition with us and continue to guide us.
Alongside our dedication to respecting the teachings of our lineage is our commitment to access and inclusion. As North American guides severed from our own shamanic heritage, we are conscious of the complexity, responsibility and paradox that accompanies this work. We are continually deepening our inquiry into the balance between tradition and adaptation, as emergent modalities are born through us, in collaboration with the forces of nature. Our mission is to support transformation in a way that honors the teachings of the plants, attunes to the needs of our time and place, and liberates us from inherited dogmas. Recognizing the diverse needs of a modern population, our rituals celebrate the universal wisdom of the heart. Ceremonies are centered in vows of compassion and self-care, and woven into a matrix of practices that support integration.
Our sanctuary welcomes all who feel estranged by the dominant paradigm, all who do not conform to organized religious codes, and all who seek a direct, authentic, felt experience of connection with the divine.
Group ceremonies are open to people who have done at least one individual session, or have past experience in group ceremony.
