Co-founder, Board President, and Founding Minister with Psanctuary Sacred Mushroom Church
My journey with the sacred mushrooms began in 1999 when I was but nineteen years old. Raised Catholic and an avid student of sacred texts, I began to understand these mushrooms as the primary sacrament very shortly after my first encounter with them. While in the conceptual stages of establishing the Church of Soma in 2015, without religious protection, I was arrested for providing access to the sacrament.
From my research and experience, it is evident that psilocybin mushrooms are Nature’s primary sacrament, a gift allowing humans to transcend the mundane and experience the world of energy and spirit that is the foundation of all existence. I do not worship any deity, rather I recognize that all life, all existence is the Creative Source experiencing itself. What we call this Creative Source can never truly signify the underlying, ineffable reality. By communing with sacred mushrooms, we can more closely encounter this innate divinity and gain a greater awareness of the perfection and glory of the Universe in which we dwell. It is my greatest honor to be of service in this capacity, may this be my endless hymn of praise to the Great Mystery from whence we all came.
Co-founder, Board Vice President, Friends & Family Minister with Psanctuary Sacred Mushroom Church
Communing with the mushroom has been an integral component of my spiritual and wellness practice since 2012. Throughout this time I have made the decision over and over again to assist the people in my worldwide community with the help of sacred mushrooms. In 2013 I co-founded and was the director of Operations at a public psilocybin retreat center in Jamaica with my husband, Eric Osborne until 2020. In 2021, the decision to move back to my home in Kentucky was the result of focusing on long-term community building and expanding access to sacred mushrooms. It is with deep gratitude and reverence for the sacrament of psilocybin mushrooms that I welcome others into our community of faith and healing.

My two-decade journey with psilocybin began in 2001, cultivating mushrooms that earmarked a profound life shift. Today, thanks to higher doses of sacrament and a micro-dosing regimen, I’ve transitioned away from pharmaceuticals and healed the psychological wounds that the medications covered up. As a highly sensitive person, I've transmuted my sensory processing sensitivities into a more powerful intuition, vital for facilitating ceremonies and nurturing spaces.
The sacrament is a potent ally, healing shame and trauma from traditional religious settings, fostering a profound connection to the Divine through psilocybin integration. I continue to explore the intricate mushroom space, learning to navigate the layers of spirit realms and existence. With the assistance of a local Apache shaman equipped with a PHD, I have also delved into incorporating modalities for healing trauma, ancestral wounds, and exploring past life regression.
Completing Psanctuary's available cleric programs, I hone my ability to hold space. I joyfully support groups and facilitate private member ceremonies in my Zen Den.Â
Enrolled in the Women's School for Spiritual Warriors, I pursue a coaching certification, integrating Western wellness with ancient indigenous and Eastern practices for transformative guidance. I aim to guide others on a path to beautiful lifestyle transformations in a profoundly unique way.

Melanie’s first encounter with psilocybin occurred serendipitously when she was 18 years old. During this first encounter, she was gifted with a vision of the web of life and insight into the cellular communication in her body. She continued to journey with sacred mushrooms throughout the years. She felt a tremendous connection, purpose, and a desire to share the sacrament with others to support their growth and awareness of interconnection to all of Life. She was also astounded by the long-lasting effects of the “re-wiring” and the information gained with each experience.
Buddhism, West African dance, sound healing, a background in music, exploration of the energy bodies and chakras, gardening, connection to the land, herbal knowledge, hiking, traveling, mothering, and many cherished teachers have all profoundly shaped her life.  Melanie’s main passion is guiding others to cultivate their innate wisdom and fine-tune their intuitive abilities.
