Plant Medicine Ceremony
Apr 5, 2025 - Apr 5, 2025
Gather in community on Saturday, April 5th for an
evening of connection, intention, and spiritual awakening.
Our sacred medicine ceremony will be held at a unique local private
residence, led by Ricardo Yellow Bird, and supported by a network
of loving beings.
When we gather in circle we
are united, regardless of our differences, creating a safe and
supportive container for personal and collective growth. This is a
time for us to slow down, reflect, and connect more deeply to
universal source energy and the metaphysical world. Each person
will receive a macro dose of locally sourced, sacred mushroom
medicine to help them journey
deeper into their heart, spirit and mind. The experience will be
supported throughout with heart-opening cacao and the
anchoring structure of ritual tradition.
Following the ceremony, we
will share a beautiful communal meal together to help nourish and
ground us back into our bodies.
Ricardo Yellowbird is a yogi, Qigong master, and Staff Holder
in the Mayan Toltec tradition, who has traveled from Southern
California to serve as our spiritual guide and ceremony leader. As
a medicine man and community elder, he helps people return to the
fire through the ritual of ceremony, in order to remember our
truest Self and understand our higher purpose. We’re honored to
journey with him this April.
