"The Friends and Family Program deepened my respect for the sacrament and taught me how to help others maximize its benefits. The thorough, practical content helped me embody the material, not just learn it. With support from the Minister and cohort, I felt part of a true community. If you want to support others and enhance your own sacramental experiences, this program is for you."

Psacred Passage Minister
"This has been a wonderful way to connect with the sacrament without even having to participate in the consumption. The understanding and knowledge I have gained during these 8 weeks will carry over into my whole life for the rest of my life. "

Friends and Family Minister
"The Psanctuary Ordination Program provides a safe space to learn about pyschedelic spirituality. Every student is seen, heard, and valued for their own intrapersonal insights and revelations. "
Karla
Psacred Passage Minister
"I came to the mushroom for healing and discovered a spiritual side of myself that I had long given up hoping to have. I also discovered that healing and spirituality are paths to follow and not destinations. I hope as a cleric to assist other people on their journeys, whatever their motivations."

"The Ordination Program was perfect! It was manageable in my busy life and the Zooms were a chance to be in community with other seekers. The information we were taught gave me confidence that I could safely guide others through their mushroom journey. It made me a more thoughtful and gracious person. I highly recommend it! ❤️🙏🏻"

"Psanctuary's Ordination Program has given me the confidence to describe my personal relationship to the sacrament backed by a community of fellow believers. This is just the first step in a lifetime process, but I feel I have been given a map and the tools to understand how to celebrate and share the sacrament in a positive and safe way."
