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 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 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 medicines that nature offers, raising our awareness so that we can develop a direct connection to the God-Consciousness and achieve an understanding of Ultimate Reality.
Our community is made up of individuals from many perspectives. 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.
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:
- We are spiritual beings having a human experience; each a unique incarnation of God Consciousness. I am you. You are me. We are ONE.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- We partake with the sacrament of Earth medicine; sacred (psilocybin) mushrooms. The sacrament is a gift from the source which uniquely enable us to communicate with God-Consciousness.

- 🙏🏼Addiction Recovery SupportLink visible for attendees
Dear 12-Step fellow,
As you know, in many traditional recovery circles, particularly those focused on alcohol sobriety, the use of psychedelics is often shunned or misunderstood. This gathering acknowledges the unique potential that psychedelics can offer in aiding recovery, personal growth, and spiritual awakening.
Both of the founders of Entheo Temple have been on sobriety journeys (with alcohol, spending) and we have benefitted greatly from the fellowship and structured support. We would like to share our experience, strength, and hope.
Join on First Sundays (or attend weekly) for a Psychedelics In Recovery meeting, on ZOOM, where we explore the intersection of psychedelic healing and the path to addiction recovery. You can attend for any relevant addiction (alcohol, narcotics, sex & love, work, food, spending, etc)
What to Expect:
- Open discussions about the role of psychedelics in the recovery process.
- Shared experiences and stories from individuals who have integrated psychedelics into their journey of sobriety.
- Exploration of how psychedelics can support healing, mental health, and spiritual well-being.
- A supportive community that respects each individual's path and choices.
Who Should Attend:
- Those in recovery who are curious about the intentional use of psychedelics for healing.
- Individuals who already have used psychedelics as a part of their recovery journey.
These meetings are anonymous and non-judgmental, encouraging open dialogue and mutual respect. Whether you are new to the concept or have been exploring psychedelics in recovery for some time, you are welcome to join us.
You don't have to RSVP if you'd like to remain anonymous. You can just click the link below on Sunday at 8pm and sign in using your name or an alias.

Mira & Alex - 🙏🏼Weekly Gratitude Circle (30 mins)Link visible for attendees
Kick off your Monday mornings with a community gratitude practice at 9:30am EST, on Zoom.
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.
PROMPTS:
- "I'm grateful for __"
- "I appreciate __"
- "I enjoyed __"
- ...
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.

HOW TO JOIN:

Meeting ID: 523 624 2192
Password: gratitudeABOUT YIN YOGA:
The qualities of yin are soft, cool, empty, slow, and receptive--these are ideal conditions to come out of the doing mind and into the being body, and allow the wisdom of the plants to move through you. The postures of yin are low to the ground and are held, in stillness, for at least 3 minutes, to allow deep relaxation of the body and mind. It is recommended to delay eating a large evening meal until after class; drink and eat lightly in the hour before practice.Practice will begin with guided relaxation, and an invitation to let the consciousness expand inward. As we change postures, our consciousness also changes. We will move through several asanas, holding each posture for at least 3 minutes. Practice will end in an upright position, with a short pranayama (breathwork). You are invited to meditate or take savasana following the close of class.
YOUR TEACHER:
Geneva Wilgus will be your yogini way-shower for this practice. She is a 300RYT with over 550 hours of yoga training. Yoga, particularly yin, has been a keystone practice for her own psychedelic integration, and she is delighted and honored to show the way and hold space for others.DONATION:
This class is donation-based. Your generosity goes toward a scholarship fund for mystics desiring to schedule a sacrament ceremony and requesting financial support. Thank you for your generosity.HOUSEKEEPING:
🌀Join a few minutes early; we will begin promptly at 7:00pm so we can end promptly at 7:40pm.🌀It it best to have cameras on. This creates community, and allows Geneva to observe your form, making suggestions for greater ease, safety, and deepening. Microphones off. We will practice silence as much as possible, turning the senses inward and retaining the energy of our observations by keeping them to ourselves.
🌀Be in a quiet space where you can be undisturbed for 30 minutes. Be on the floor for a firm surface, on a yoga mat or thick blanket. If you have a small pillow and/or blanket to use for props, this will make your practice even more delicious.
🌀Delay your meal until after practice. Drink and eat lightly (or not at all, if appropriate for your body) in the hour before practice. This allows greatest comfort for your body, and a deeper experience for your mind.
🌀Lastly, you are invited to leave behind your Evaluator--the part of you that is self-assessing and judging. Step into a practice that is uniquely and perfectly yours. This practice is 100% about how it feels, and not at all about how it looks. Listen to your body and honor how it feels. Open your heart and mind to the flowing wisdom in your body, and go deeper.
"Be still,
Find the silence within yourself,
And gently hold it.
Do this, and all is yours."
-Lao Tzu
