Acknowledgements
We did not build this alone. These pages are an attempt to name some of what we owe, to the people, the lineages, and the living world that made this work possible.
Healing is never a solitary act.
Entheogyn exists at the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern science, personal transformation and collective healing. What we offer has been shaped by countless hands, voices, and roots, human and non-human alike.
This page is our attempt to hold that lineage with honesty and care. Acknowledgement is not absolution. It is a beginning, a practice of remembering who we are part of and what we owe.
To Those Who Gave Us Life
We did not arrive here alone. Every founder, facilitator, and steward of this work was shaped first by those who raised them, by the arms that held them, the voices that named them, and the lives that modeled, however imperfectly, what it means to love.
We honor our parents for the ground they gave us to stand on, and for the ways, intended and unintended, they set us on the path toward healing.
To Those Who Held the Space
Long before this center existed, there were therapists, counselors, and facilitators who sat with us in our own darkness. Who did not flinch. Who did not rush. Who trusted that healing moves at its own pace and that the most powerful thing one person can offer another is their full, undivided, non-judgmental presence.
We carry their teachings into every session we hold, every intake form we review, and every facilitator we welcome into our Guild. You showed us what good care looks like.
To Those Who Came Before
We acknowledge, with deep humility, the medicine stewards, curanderos, healers, ceremonial leaders, and lineage holders, who have tended these relationships with the sacred medicines for generations, often at great personal risk and in defiance of systems that sought to erase them.
The work we do today is possible only because they held the thread. We do not take that lightly. We are committed to reciprocity, financial, relational, and spiritual, with the communities and traditions that kept this knowledge alive when the world tried to extinguish it.
To the Plants and Fungi Themselves
Las plantas. The fungi. The mycelium that threads the forest floor and the caps that push through the dark earth toward the light. We acknowledge you not as substances or tools, but as teachers, ancestors, and allies.
You were here long before us. You will be here long after. We come to you with gratitude, reverence, and a sincere commitment to tending the relationship you have extended to the human family with such extraordinary generosity.
Everything we do is, in the end, in service of this relationship.
