Mastering the Sacred Alchemy: Plant Medicine Making & Ceremony Training (Learning to create entheogens) 16.00 Friday, 14 November – 12:00 Sunday, 16 November
Venue: The Sanctuary of the Heart, Glenferness, Johannesburg
Step into a rare initiation into the forms of plant-medicine craft, inner attunement, and ceremonial responsibility. This training is designed for those who already carry a depth of spiritual commitment — yet are ready to deepen into the mysteries of holding and weaving sacred medicine with integrity.
Over this immersive weekend, you will:
Learn to prepare foundational and sacred plant medicines from first principle to finished form, including THC/CBD marijuana oils & tinctures, African DMT-based brews and South American Ayahuasca's (Chacruna, Chaliponga, Mimosa, Acacia), San Pedro (mescaline), and multiple dream-herb tinctures used in Shamanic divination practices.
Engage in alchemy practices—understanding the internal energetics, transmutations, and layering of spirit, plant, and human matrix that turn raw material into living medicine.
Understand safe sourcing, botanical ethics, wildcrafting, cultivation, and standards for purity in procurement.
Develop a robust screening and assessment protocol in your practice: physical/psychiatric contraindications, medication interactions, psychological vulnerabilities, and energetic readiness.
Explore how to navigate crises in ceremony: sudden physical, psychological, or spiritual intensities—and the grounded skills to intervene, support, and reorient.
Learn preparation and integration protocols: the art of structuring set, setting, navigation, and returning into the everyday with clarity and stability.
Delve into the role of sound, song, chanting, vibrational forms in holding containers, mediating passage, and anchoring healing.
Receive hands-on mentorship and personal guidance—this is not a lecture course, but a transmission container.
