We need your help to protect Peruās oldest temple and the origin of cacao ā Huaca Montegrande. This sacred site, even older than the pyramids, holds ancient wisdom and a profound connection to cacao.
SACRED RECIPROCITY REQUEST
Comment CACAO to have more information sent via DM.
To keep this legacy alive, weāre raising funds to continue excavations, preserve ancient artifacts, and protect the cacao still thriving there today.
Hereās how you can help:
šDonations, no matter the size, make a huge difference.
š¤ Tag your favorite cacao brands and spiritual creators with a special bond to cacao.
š„Share this message on your stories or with anyone who understands the power of this sacred plant.
If we lose Montegrande, we lose the chance to reveal the true origins of cacao, its ancient spiritual veneration, and the potential to uncover
ceremonial cacao practices thought to be modern. Please join us in preserving this incredible piece of history for future generations!
š Thank you for being stewards of this beautiful medicine. Your heart and support are so appreciated by me and my sisters in the project, @lizzietilia@sacred.ecologist@laurita_pacita@natalieconnell_art
Every bit counts!

āWe work for the plantsā - Sam Perry
So much of what we hear in the psych3del*c space has been reduced to molecules, effects, and outcomes.

Whether youāre just beginning to explore psychedelic plant medicines or youāve sat with them many times, there comes a point where you can feel that is not the whole story.
Plants are not just chemicals. They are part of a living world⦠a world of relationship, of spirit, and of intelligence that our ancestors understood very differently than most people are taught now.
You are not separate from the plant world. You are alive because of plants. And⦠Ninos Santos šāš«are part of that larger intelligence of Life.

This program opens a deeper, more rooted relationship with psilocybin and the ancient human connection to the plant world that modern psych3del*c culture has largely forgotten.

What if the deepest shift is not from āthe medicineā⦠but in becoming more available to whatās already trying to emerge?
Medicine is only a piece of the journey.
The deeper revelation of the medicine is not the experience itself⦠but the recognition that consciousness is far more vast, open, and unbound than you were conditioned to believe.
A kind of deconditioning begins. Awareness loosens from identification. The nervous system learns that reality is larger, safer, more alive, and more interconnected than the structures of contraction once perceived.
This is some of what Ontodelic Inquiry opens⦠and why Iām sharing about Ontodelic Inquiry Training & Retreat.
I know Antonia & Roger Vanoro @antoniavanoro@rogervanoro personally and did this training 5 years ago. Iām doing it again in a few weeks (live IN PERSON). Iāve also been working with Antonia 1-1 for over 6 years of the 9 Iāve known her.
I donāt often share trainings or other peopleās work, and I get nothing for sharing this. I just know how impactful this training was for me!
There are a few spots left and Iām personally invested in having good folk joining us in the training! (Thereās a required 1-1 call to join and make sure itās the right fit).
Antonia is one of the āOGā facilitators of some of the worldās most powerful medicines. Sheās not āan influencerā with a huge following⦠but those in the know know sheās a master. (⦠seems to be the case with everyone I work with!)
Join their f.ree Ontodelic Inquiry Training Intro Session this Thursday May 14th @ 7pm EDT. (Sign up ā¬ļø at link, no cost).
The in person training & retreat is May 29ā31, and itās their ONLY Ontodelic Inquiry Training cohort this year.
You can book a call with them to learn more or ask me any questions about my experience or the training.
This work is not about escaping with expanded states.
It is about allowing greater consciousness to help you meet greater shadow⦠and letting transformation happen through embodiment, fascination, awe, curiosity, innocence, and the living field between beings.
With all the recent attention on Trumpās executive order around psychedelic research, and more funding and support going toward medicines like ibogaine, psilocyb*n, an I want to offer a little nuance here.
Yes, Iām happy more people are waking up to the healing potential of these medicines. And at the same time, my prayer is that this is approached with real care, deep respect, and reverence.
Iboga and sacred plants are not just compounds or molecules or alkaloids (Ibogaine) here to fix you and give to you without you giving back to them.
These are medicines rooted in tradition, ceremony, prayer, song, and *relationship*.
I appreciated that the recent Practitioner Statement signed by over 50 of the worldās top researchers and practitioners of this medicine made clear that ibogaine is not some standalone miracle or āreset.ā It does not always ācureā everyone for everything⦠there is no Amazon Prime of medicines.
(You can read the practitioner statement on Trumpās Executive Order in the blog post about Iboga & Ibogaine, link above ā¬ļø)
What shapes long-term healing is not just the medicine itself, but the depth of preparation, the relational context, and a commitment to consistent integration afterwards.
Here I shared a little about how I came to the spirit of Iboga before ever touching the medicine itselfā¦
And why, after finally sitting with Iboga flood doses after 14 years of contemplation, I feel even more strongly that this is *not* something to rush into lightly.
Iām not against research or moving this order forward. Humans clearly need help and healing!!
I just pray we donāt lose the sacred, or all the plants themselves, in the process.

šIn honor of HANUMAN JAYANTI
The Hanuman Chalisa came into my life back in 2019.
The story goes like this⦠@from.breath.2.death and I are heading back upstate from a sound-related work trip to NYC . Weāre on our way to the West Side Highway, when Meg says something about a Hanuman Chalisa @krishnadasmusic gathering happening in the city. In that moment, we roll past the venue. āShould we go?ā A parking spot magically appears - a crystal clear sign from the universe. Letās check it out, we agree.
And there we are moments later, sitting in a huge church, listening to hundreds chant the 40 verses. When @shyamachapin shares her Banaras version, a gorgeous haunting melody, Iām totally hypnotized. I start chanting along, the words flowing through me as if Iāve sung them many times before.
After this chance encounter, I start chanting the Chalisa daily to Shyamaās melody with my shruti box. Soon, my partner @daveford joins in, and it becomes a regular practice to chant it 4 or 8 or even 12 times together in a sitting, taking turns playing the shruti box while the other plays the drum. It becomes our way back to each other when we are at odds, a way into presence. A practice of devotion.
Recently, I learned that my good friend @bethaweinstein also has a connection to the Chalisa, and I shared the version from Shyama that first got me hooked.
Hereās a little snippet she captured in the Sound Sanctuary a few weeks ago, of us chanting together. (Thatās her voice off camera.) As you can see from the way Iām bopping around, chanting the Chalisa brings me a lot of joy.
Iām itching to get some folks together this week to chant it together in the resonant Sound Sanctuary. Anyone in?

The Energetics of Sacred Teacher Plants: Remembering & Restoring the Missing Piece in Contemporary Psych*d*lic Practice
A 6-Week Interactive Group Immersion for Space Holders, Guides, Explorers & Enthusiasts
#plantteachers #sacredplantmedicine #medicineforthesetimes #plantmedicine
If you work with sacred teacher plants (whether for yourself or others) youāve likely felt thereās a deeper layer missing in the conversation out there.
šāš« Comment ENERGY to learn more šāš«
Because this sacred work isnāt just neurochemistry. Itās the relationship between plants, body, energy, spirit, soul. The ways of those who came before us.
Most psychedeliic trainings only focus on science and psychology⦠but leave out energetics, ancestral wisdom, and safe, practical tools that make all the difference when experiences go awry.
This live 6-week, online group program bridges that gap and restores the missing pieces of modern plant medicine practices.
In Herbal Medicine & The Energetics of Psilocybin, you will learn:
šæ Practical herbal + energetic tools and protocols for overwhelm, nausea, anxiety, cramps, elevated heart rate, and integration
šæ A vitalist, energetics-based approach to navigating medicine journeys
šæ How to read and support the bodyās energetic patterns before, during, and after journeys
šæ How various herbs and plants can support each stage of the medicine journey
šæ Ancestral wisdom for grounded, effective healing
Youāll leave with practical tools you can use immediatelyā¦
And more confidence, safety and integrity in the space you hold, whether for yourself or others.
Led by Sam Perry, RH (AHG) practicing in theVitalist and Eclectic tradition of Herbalism, heās a clinical herbalist, medicine maker, faculty at the Arbor Vitae School of Traditional Herbalism, a long time Zen Buddhist practitioner, and retreat leader.
This is the program most space holders and plant explorers never get, but truly need.

Honoring Grace
and a fruitful, beautiful, expansive
journey
A bow of reverence and respect. Thank you for your generosity and grace, master root teacher.
A bow to
All the plant teachers and healers
The flowing waters
Whales and waves
The dream realms, visions, premonitions
The return home to Egypt
laying prayers of unraveling and forgiveness
A sabbatical
That allowed for easeful abundance
The activation of gifts yet to understand
Thank you, Grace, for the soft-core 19 month journey of consciously diving deep into the return of the wounded healer, helping to purify ancient ancestral wounds, healing and balancing the divine masculine and feminine, forgiveness, cleansing and activating DNA.
A bow to mother, father, family, ancestors, uncles, past lives, karma, lovers, crushes⦠blessings and losses, receiving and clearing, synchronicities and signs, compassion and forgiveness, allowing and becoming, joy and grief, experiencing and learning.
Holding the polarities with gratitude and trust and understanding *all* are blessings.
Devotion to the unfolding of life lived with an ever-opening heart. Leaving it at the feet of the divine.
Reverence for this holy life, in service to our sacred earth. Continue to use me as a vessel for the true will of my soulās path.
Thank you friends, community, teachers, healers, planets, comets, sun, moon, stars, and the grace of all the beings who supported a portal of exponential growth and expansion.
A bow of honor to my soul for making it this far
and choosing to continue forward
on this mysterious and magical
journey of embodiment on earth.
Aho
Amen
