What we’re about
Entheo Temple is a sanctuary for those seeking spiritual growth and healing. We facilitate the sacramental use of psilocybin (an entheogen), providing a unique path for those recovering from life's challenges and seeking answers to existential questions.
Our doors are open to anyone curious about the transformative power of psychedelics.
Entheo Temple, Inc is a faith based non-profit organization and constitutional church, established as a 501(c)(3) within the meaning of IRS Code Section 508(c)(1)(a).
Our right to explore our inner worlds and connect with spirit through entheogens is protected by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) of 1993 and our deeply held belief in cognitive liberty.
Our Spirituality:
Our ministers practice within the umbra of Unitarian Universalism and draw from Taoism, Zen Buddhism, Hinduism, Eclectic Paganism, and New Thought traditions. Our unique sect is Entheism, the belief that we are all One and the Divine is within.
Our community is made up of individuals from many perspectives. Our members may refer to the Divine by many names: God, Source, Creator, Spirit, or Universe. We believe that all spiritual traditions are referring to the same Divinity, no matter the name, and that Divinity manifests in a multitude of human incarnations.
We are an inclusive, socially-conscious and welcoming organization. We remain open to all beliefs and paths to a peaceful existence with loving stewardship of our only planet.
The Sacrament:
The sacrament has been used for centuries by shamans, healers and spiritual leaders on almost every continent for its ability to unveil elevated consciousness, facilitate deep healing, and spark spiritual awakenings.
Our devotion to sacred (psilocybin) mushrooms has been passed on from generations of ancestral practice and is deepened by the personal experiences of our modern mystics.
It is our genuine belief that sacred mushrooms are one of the greatest gifts that nature offers, raising our awareness so that we can develop a direct experience of Divine presence and receive Divine guidance.
WE AFFIRM AND PROMOTE:
1st Principle: The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
2nd Principle: Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;
3rd Principle: Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our
congregations;
4th Principle: A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
5th Principle: The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large;
6th Principle: The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all;
7th Principle: Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
8th Principle: The right of every individual to have sovereignty over their cognitive experience as it pertains to altered states.
WE BELIEVE:
1. We are spiritual beings having a human experience; each a unique incarnation of God-Consciousness. I am you. You are me. We are ONE.
2. Life and death are both conscious energy. Everything is energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, therefore God-Consciousness (and you) are infinite and eternal.
3. The highest spiritual principle is loving one another unconditionally, teaching, and supporting each other to heal. We do not stop learning at adulthood --we raise each other at all ages.
4. Our beliefs and perceptions create our reality. Our mental states manifest our lived experience. We can create our own bliss or torment on Earth based on how connected (or disconnected) we are with God-Consciousness.
5. We partake with the sacrament of Earth medicine; sacred (psilocybin) mushrooms. The sacrament is a gift from the source which uniquely enable us to commune with God-Consciousness.

Mira & Alex - 🙏🏼Gratitude Circle: Uplifting Mindset Support (30 mins)Link visible for attendees
Kick off your Monday mornings with a community gratitude practice at 9:30am EST, on Zoom. (read the entire event description below to find the password)
The path of transformation can be unsettling, at times, due to the dramatic inner shifts and changes to our old beliefs and habits. This can disrupt our foundation of stability and certainty.
When we look at people who have the same challenge for 10 years (repeating cycles and lessons), versus the people who actually move past the challenge —the differences aren't in whether they want to improve, but in their mindset and commitment to growth.
You’ve probably heard that "integration is key." Amidst challenging seasons of life, gratitude practice can bring you into trust and deep appreciation -- even for the less desirable events and circumstances.
ON UNDESIRED OUTCOMES:
"The next time you are confronted with any undesired outcome, just stop. Take one good, deep breath and say "Thank you for this gift, and the treasure that it holds for me." Be assured that it does hold a treasure, even if you are not seeing it right now."
--Neale Donald WalschON GRATITUDE:
"You start to love that which you can love
and just keep expanding it...
You love a tree,
You love a river,
You love a leaf,
You love a flower,
You love a cat,
You love a human..."
--Ram DassThe intention of our Gratitude Circle is to create a safe and nurturing space where each of us can share and reflect on the moments of gratitude we've experienced over the past week.
Connect authentically, support one another, and cultivate a deeper appreciation for the blessings in our lives, both big and small.
Remember to listen with empathy, speak with honesty, and hold space for the diverse experiences and emotions that each person brings.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Feel the gratitude.
- Let the gratitude speak instead of your thoughts.
- Find the opening phrase that resonates with you, no need to be rigid.
- Let the gratitude impact you.
- Don't explain your gratitude. Keep it short.
- See how grateful you can be for things that are more difficult.

Transformation Talks are designed for the mystic who has been on the healing path for a while. For the go-getter who refuses to stagnate. This is for the self-healer, the co-creator, the pattern-interruptor.

Entheo Temple's founders practice within the umbra of Unitarian Universalism and draw from Taoism, Zen Buddhism, Hinduism, Eclectic Paganism, and New Thought traditions. Our unique sect is Entheism, the belief that we are all One and God-Consciousness resides within in all Beings.We understand God as the love, universal intelligence, and pure consciousness which imbues all things. We recognize only one energy source, and one consciousness that manifests in a multitude of physical iterations.
Our fellowship partakes in the essential sacrament of sacred (psilocybin) mushrooms for insight into the nature of existence, to heal, to grow, and to commune with God-Consciousness.
-- however sacrament will NOT be a feature of this gathering, please do not bring any mind-altering substances 🙏🏼
