SoulTribe Sanctuary is a nondenominational, interfaith, religious organization that supports the safe access to Animal, Plant and Fungal entheogens. Our primary entheogenic sacrament is sacredly called Niños Santos, commonly known as psilocybin mushrooms. SoulTribe Sanctuary stands strong in providing a safe space and environment to experience a shamanic ceremony where religious freedom and respect for the indigenous exist.

No, we advocate for freedom of thought. There is Truth in all Paths. You are free to believe whatever feels in alignment with you and your spiritual principles. (PLEASE READ OUR STATEMENT OF BELIEFS)

Mushrooms grow from the fungal network of threadlike cells called Mycelium. It is the network of nature. Interlacing mosaics of mycelium infuse habitants with information-sharing membranes. These membranes are aware, react to change, and collectively have the long term health of the host environment in mind. The mycelium stays in constant molecular communication with its environment, devising diverse enzymatic and chemical responses to complex challenges. These networks not only survive, but sometimes expand to thousands of acres in size, achieving the greatest mass of any individual organism on this planet. That mycelia can spread enormous cellular mats across thousands of acres is a testimonial to a successful and versatile evolutionary strategy. Mushrooms are part of that strategy.

Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound produced by more than 200 species of mushrooms, collectively known as psilocybin mushrooms.

First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

As defined by the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America, SoulTribe Sanctuary is a religious organization (church), and is not subject to regulation which would interfere with or unduly burden our practices or beliefs. We understand, respect and care for the safety of all those called to learn sacred shamanic teachings through SoulTribe Sanctuary. We proclaim that the use of entheogenic sacraments is one of our religious rights.

The Religious Freedom and Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA) is the cornerstone of free exercise of religion at both the federal and to a large extent, the state level. Specifically, as it relates to entheogenic churches and retreats, the RFRA was passed in response to a case court of Oregon wherein a law was upheld which denied unemployment benefits to a Native American who used peyote as a religious sacrament.

Congress enacted the RFRA, which mandates all religious exercise be examined on a case-by-case basis, regardless whether the law at issue is facially neutral (generally applicable) or not.

In the context of entheogenic churches, the RFRA does not apply to state or local authorities. Therefore whether an entheogenic church will be fully protected will not only depend on the federal RFRA, but also depends on the state laws regarding the free exercise of religion. Many states adopted their own analogous RFRA statutes.

The RFRA and analogous state law and constitutional provisions require that the government show a compelling governmental interest in prohibiting or regulating the religious exercise at issue. Furthermore, the government must show that the general law at issue is the least restrictive means for serving the compelling governmental interest.

Before thinking about who is coming with you to the ceremony, think about what your intention is. What do you want to get out of this experience? If you don’t yet have an intention, it simply means; not now, not yet. Once you have defined your intention, you can ask yourself; “is this person’s energy, attention and intention in alignment with what I want out of this experience?” It’s completely normal to want to go to a ceremony by yourself. If this person is riding the same wave of spiritual growth and expansion, come together for the ceremony. It will empower you both. The same goes for families, who have done spiritual work together and are ready for the next step in their evolution. We’ll be happy to be part of the process.

• A deeper understanding of who you are
• Connection and appreciation for Mother Earth (Pachamama)
• Synapse Activation
• A sense of well-being
• A new level of energy
• Receptivity
• Loving confidence in one’s intelligence
• A deeper awareness of the bodily functions
• Possible physical discomfort in the case of internal resistance
• Access to an expanded world inside yourself that’s always been there

Ceremony grants us the opportunity to enhance our thought process, to feel our physical apparatus, and to activate our emotional guidance system. When we become present in our unique breathing process, we receive glimpses of what it really means to be alive. SoulTribe Sanctuary takes a comprehensive spiritual approach to growth through remembrance and self-discovery. Shamans think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration. Every ceremony is tailored through that lens. We utilize a vast array of healing modalities tailored to the emotional makeup of those participating in the ceremony. We encourage you to read our Statement of Beliefs where we comprehensively share who we are and the crucial importance of integration.

First, we don’t trip. We receive visions. The nature of those visions in shamanic tradition depend on the subject’s emotional state of being, including their historical, societal, and ancestral programming. If you feel overwhelmed and anxious before participating in a shamanic ceremony, please honor your feelings and pass. Timing is important. There’s no rush.

• A positive attitude
• Comfortable clothes
• A reusable water bottle
• An offering to the altar if you feel called to
• A picture of someone you love

Preparation for sacred shamanic ceremonies is a key component to fully receive the benefits of our sacraments. Preparation may include but not be limited to:

• Shaman’s consultation
• Fasting
• Journaling
• Intention setting
• Meditation
• Adding fruit and vegetables to our diet
• Restriction from sexual and self-deprecating behaviors.

The purpose of these practices is to focus attention, energy and thought momentum into Spiritual Healing and Illumination. Members shall be counseled and care taken in preparation for participation in entheogenic and non-entheogenic sacred shamanic ceremonies and sacraments, to assure safety and wellbeing.

We accept that integration can be challenging as we learn to align our thoughts, words and actions with the vibrational frequency of our sacraments. This is where spiritual wisdom transcends into Physical Reality. Here are some suggestions. Do what resonates.

• Rest
• Hike
• Journal
• Breathe
• Exercise
• Meditate
• Breathwork
• Drink water
• Mirror work
• Be in Nature
• Live your Life
• Talk to people
• Learn a new skill
• Explore your town
• Go to a public park
• Nourish your body
• Be kind to yourself
• Look at world maps
• Talk to your shaman
• Learn a new language
• Watch uplifting content
• Plant a seed/a plant/a tree
• Learn about the Beauty Way

• Clean your house now and then
• Occasionally cook your own meals
• Act in alignment with your intentions
• Release what holds you back and down
• Think in terms of frequency and vibration
• Learn about the history of human thought
• Often bring your attention to what you want
• Give back to nature by educating yourself and caring for the environment in whatever capacity you can.
• Visit Native Indians who are lovingly willing to share their medicine. They possess ancient wisdom; listen to what they have to say.

While we understand the sacred ceremonial use of natural entheogens is not for everyone. SoulTribe Sanctuary helps connect those who feel the call to entheogenic sacraments with highly respected sacred shamanic ceremonies and retreats in the United States and around the globe. Water, Breathwork, Sound Baths, Water Immersion, Meditation, Introspection, Laugher and Energy Healing are the starting points for most members. At our SoulTribe Sanctuary, ceremonies will always be offered and you have the power and freedom to decide whether or not you want to be part of it.
