Entheogenic Plant Teachers Bundle: Practical and Theoretical Resources

Plant medicine/entheogens/psychedelic use is on the rise across the US. A number of states have already legalized its use while it is under consideration in others. But what exactly is it? Why would you want to consider trying it? If you did try it, how might you encounter this experience safely?

Last year the Essential Light Institute featured a series of talks on the increasingly popular topic of Plant Medicine. These talks covered what it is, how it works, what you may encounter, how to make the best of use of this unique experience and put it in service of your healing process, how to embark on the experience safely, and how to honor the traditional lineages of the ancestors who relied on entheogens for spiritual healing and wisdom. This course also included how the other Essential Light teaching topics such as mediumship, spiritual healing, divine tactics and the three groundings, creating containers and holding space integrate with plant medicine ceremony as essential tools and knowledge that supports the plant medicine encounter. This series was taught by the Essential Light’s esteemed teacher and spiritual healing practitioner, Jonathan Goldman. Jonathan is a Santo Daime elder, ceremonial leader and teacher, and healing medium who has over 40 years of experience in plant medicine ceremonies. He is the co-founder of the first Santo Daime church in the United States, an syncretic spiritist tradition practiced through entheogenic ceremonies, making him both an expert with practical knowledge but also knowledge that extends to the conceptual paradigms and teachings based on his decades of his on-the-ground study with the lineage keepers of the amazonian tradition in Brazil. 

Because this series was so well received, we've put together an expanded offering on this topic - we’re thrilled to introduce the Entheogenic Plant Teachers Bundle: Practical and Theoretical Resources.
