Sacred gatherings in nature — held with Grandfather Wachuma, woven into the temples of the living world.
The cactus is older than the language we use to speak about it. It carries the prayer of the high deserts and the patience of stone — and it remembers us, when we come.
EntheoEcology is a series of sacred gatherings — ceremonies held on the land, with Grandfather Wachuma as the central plant teacher and the living world as the larger sanctuary. Each ceremony is a meeting place: between the human and the more-than-human, between the inner temple of the body and the outer temple of the land, between the practitioner and the long lineage that has tended this work for thousands of years.
These are not classes or workshops. They are ceremonies — tended carefully, prepared for in advance, and integrated afterward. Group ritual and individual ritual are both held within the same container, woven together by the rhythm of the day and the wisdom of the medicine.
The Grandfather Cactus — called Wachuma, Huachuma, San Pedro — has been tended in the high deserts and mountain ranges of the Americas for longer than most lineages remember.
He is a daylight teacher. Where some plant teachers move through the dark night of the soul, Wachuma moves through the open day — through wide vision, through the warmth of the sun on stone, through what the lineages have long called the best day of your life.
He teaches in the language of relation. Of the sky to the canyon. Of the canyon to the breath. Of the breath to the heart. Of the heart to every other heart in the gathering. In his presence, the boundary between self and world softens — not erased, but remembered as the kinship it always was.
Each gathering opens three temples at once — the inner, the outer, and the weave of light that runs between them. The medicine moves freely through all three.
The heart, the breath, the cathedral of the chest — the first sanctuary, the one you carry with you. Wachuma tends this temple with extraordinary gentleness.
The canyon, the river, the grove, the sky. The ceremony is held outdoors, on land that has been welcomed and welcomed in return — the land itself participates in the rite.
The threads that run from heart to heart, from human to plant, from plant to land, from land to sky. The medicine illuminates the weave — what was always there comes into view.
The day moves between the communal and the solitary. Both are facilitated — held and witnessed by Adi Marie and the tending team. Neither is an afterthought to the other.
Opening prayer, the welcoming of the directions, the offering to the land. Song and silence held in the circle. The medicine taken together. Witnessing one another in the deepening — the symphony of breath and movement and sound that the medicine makes possible.
Stretches of the day for private communion — with the medicine, with the land, with whatever rises in the inner temple. A piece of canyon to yourself. A tree to lean against. Time for the work that only happens alone — held within the larger field of the gathered circle.
Every EntheoEcology gathering is shaped by the same set of principles, drawn from the lineages and refined through Adi Marie’s nineteen years of tending this work.
EntheoEcology gatherings are held on the wheel of the year — tied to seasons, moons, and the land’s own rhythm. Dates, locations, formats, and reciprocity are listed on the Calendar. Register from the calendar event itself.
See the Calendar →Every EntheoEcology gathering begins with the same first conversation — the Intake & Inquiry. We meet, we listen, we determine together whether this is the right ceremony, the right season, the right teacher for the work you are bringing.
