Fellow Travelers,
This year tested us in ways we didn't anticipate.
We moved our operations, rebuilt infrastructure from the ground up, watched payment processors shut us down without warning, and had ads pulled from every major platform. The usual gatekeepers made it clear: what we're doing isn't welcome in their systems.
But we're still here. And we're moving forward—full steam ahead.
What We're Offering
Despite the setbacks, we've continued serving our members and expanding what's available:
Private Facilitation – We offer private ceremonial sessions with full logistical support: private lodging, meals, preparation and integration guidance, and a safe container for deep work. Whether you're new to this path or a seasoned journeyer, we create space tailored to where you are.
Regular Fellowship Gatherings – Starting in 2026, we're establishing a consistent schedule for group ceremonies, community gatherings, and shared practice. Details will be released in the coming weeks, but the intent is simple: create rhythm, build trust, and show up for each other regularly.
Peer Pods & Community Connection – We're expanding our peer support networks so members can connect outside of ceremony—for integration, accountability, and the kind of ongoing relationship that makes this work sustainable.
Where We Need Help
Building a church outside the establishment means building everything ourselves. If you have skills, time, or interest in contributing to any of the following, we'd love to hear from you:
Community Engagement – helping facilitate connection between members, organizing peer pods, and keeping the fellowship alive
Member Onboarding – welcoming new members, answering questions, and helping people navigate their first steps with us
Ceremonial Logistics – coordinating space, supplies, scheduling, and the behind-the-scenes work that makes safe ceremony possible
Content & Documentation – writing, editing, or helping capture the knowledge we're building as a community
Technical Support – assisting with our website rebuild, member portal development, and backend systems
We're not a top-down organization. We're a community. And communities work when people come together.
What's Coming in 2026
Starting this new year, we're launching:
Regular Blogs & Newsletters – Real talk about the work, the challenges, and what we're learning along the way. No spiritual bypassing, no performative wisdom—just honest reflection on what it takes to do this work with integrity.
Hero's Journey Coaching Programs – Structured integration and preparation programs using the Hero's Journey as a framework for intentional psychedelic work. Whether you're preparing for your first journey or trying to make sense of your last one, we're building tools to help you navigate.
Rebuilt Website with Member Portals – Private journaling tools, documentation systems, resource libraries, facilitator directories, and everything you need to track your own path. We're building the infrastructure we wish existed when we started.
Expanded Educational Resources – Field guides, recorded teachings, and practical frameworks for recognizing manipulation, navigating difficult experiences, and building discernment in spaces that don't always encourage it.
A 2026 Ceremonial Calendar – Consistent dates, clear communication, and the ability to plan ahead. We're moving away from ad hoc scheduling toward something you can build your year around.
Why This Matters
We're not interested in building another extractive ceremony business or performative spiritual brand. We're building a church—a real one, with legal protection, operational integrity, and a commitment to the people who show up.
The work we're doing isn't easy, and it's not always welcomed. But it's necessary. And we're committed to improving on every level: as individuals, as a fellowship, and as families navigating this work together.
If you need access to sacraments or facilitation over the holiday season, we'll do our best to accommodate you.
Available Sacraments:
Spirit Molecule (DMT)
Sacred Mushrooms (Psilocybin)
We understand the holidays can be difficult—whether you're seeking clarity, healing, or simply space away. We're here to support that work.
How to Request:
Submit your request to info@sacredsacraments.org with:
Your preferred sacrament
Desired timeframe (specific dates or general availability)
Whether you're seeking facilitation
Any specific needs
We'll respond within 24-48 hours to coordinate logistics.
Note: Our schedule is flexible but not infinite—earlier requests will have more options. If you're on the fence, reach out anyway. We'll figure it out.
A Word of Gratitude
Thank you for your ongoing support, your trust, and your willingness to show up—even when it's hard, even when the systems push back, even when it would be easier to walk away.
This church exists because you believe it should. And we don't take that lightly.
Wishing you and yours a peaceful holiday season and a grounded start to the new year.
In solidarity,
Church of Sacred Sacraments
