I’m the leader of a legal mushroom therapy church in California, AMA

r/

Hey there, I was on here about a year ago and we had some great discussions. Im Amanda Schendel, Founder & Church Leader.

The Buena Vida Retreats has been hosting week-long therapeutic psilocybin retreats in Mexico since 2019. We’ve safely lead over 1,000 guests through the process, which is highly community driven and supportive of native North and South American shamanic traditions.

In May, 2023 we opened our doors to The Buena Vida Sanctuary, a 501(c)3 church space in Joshua Tree, CA. We are offering long-weekend retreat, free community events for members and more. Our goal is to use sacred earth medicine as our sacrament, where each and every human has the right to connect to the divine directly.

    I know it’s not mushrooms – but do you have any knowledge if Iboga can help people get off antidepressants without withdrawal symptoms? Have you heard about this in the course of your work?
