The Grandmother Ayahuasca is a source of great wisdom to see more clearly who you are in a sacred container. We will hold ceremony over night, share a meal and provide time for rest before joining in the morning for another meal and closing ceremony. This ceremony is a powerful experience of self-reflection and conscious expansion. Each of us will have our own unique relationship with it, but we unite in the vine’s beautiful wisdom.

The Sonoran Desert Bufo Toad and Jaguar 5meo sacrament provides a profound and rapid return to deeper layers of your true self. This practice is an incredible tool for shedding that which no longer serves you. You will be provided with informational material to aid in your preparation and 1st-timers will be asked to attend an online preparation meeting for safety purposes.

While the Two-leaf Guardian Kambo Frog is not entheogenic or visionary, the effects should not be underestimated. This practice has the ability to induce a deep cleanse and purge. Because of this, it is commonly used in preparation for ayahuasca or bufo. The frog secretion is applied to superficial burns on the skin that rapidly work into the bloodstream, bile ducts and the gut-liver-lymph system, inducing a sacred purge prized by ancient Amazonian lineages.

Research and pervasive anecdotal evidence supports the understanding that uncontrolled circumstances exposed to unplanned or unsupportive stimuli is much more likely to result in harm.

Making a container “sacred” means making as many aspects of it support the benefit of the participants as possible. Where it is, when it is, who is present, what is present, and what everyone is doing must have an enormous amount if planning and intentionality behind it. Entering expanded states of consciousness in this way is not only very safe, but it’s also more likely to benefit those involved.

Nothing is taken for granted in sacred ceremony because when you take these medicines, you become extremely aware of everything around you, thus more likely to be affected by it, for better or worse.

Compare this to consuming powerful mind-altering substances in a recreational context or being alone or with the inexperienced. The differences can be life-changing.

Sacred ceremony conducted by skilled facilitators with integrity has a much higher chance of being safe and beneficial.

According to the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA), religions are exempt from normal laws as long as they don’t:

• Negatively impact the health and safety of those involved
• Practice outside the church or for non-religious use.

We have structured the following elements into LWS to meet these requirements:
• A state-recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit with thorough documentation to reflect our practices and beliefs
• A screening process for membership that creates a clear boundary between church practices and outside activities
• Records of sacrament supplies and usage
• All participants are required to agree to respecting the whole process of consuming the sacraments
• Thorough safety and preparation information for each sacrament is provided

Our preparation meetings, monthly Potlucks, biweekly Sound Ceremonies, and Open House events are currently being offered.

For those interested in more personalized care, members are invited to make use of private services with LWS founders.

We are also part of an incredible local network of allied healing studios, practitioners, spiritual consultants, and other helpful professionals that we are happy to refer you to. As we expand our offerings, even more opportunities will materialize.

There are elements of our sacraments that are considered by most people to be “psychedelic.” However, what we serve involves much more than psychedelic effects.

The word “psychedelic” in Greek is defined to be the mind becoming manifested, seen, evident.

While that is important, it is just one of many elements of our ceremonies.
