Ceremonia

A nonprofit sanctuary in the Colorado Front Range, dedicated to the safe and ceremonial use of psilocybin. Psilocybin ceremonies are legal in Colorado as the spiritual ceremonies of a nonprofit church under the Natural Medicine Health Act, and as a church we also rely on the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA).
