Preparing for the Ceremony

Preparing for the ceremony is an important part of the experience. By following these guidelines in the days leading up to the ceremony, you help create a safe, respectful, and meaningful experience for yourself and for our entire spiritual community.

Please be honest when completing your health questionnaire and discussing any medical conditions or medications you are taking. This information is kept strictly confidential and helps us determine whether it is safe for you to participate.

While the sacrament is natural, it may interact with certain medications and substances. For your safety, please carefully review and follow all preparation guidelines before attending the ceremony.

 

Preparing Your Mind & Body

Preparing for the ceremony begins long before you arrive at the sanctuary. Our tradition encourages a simple and mindful lifestyle before and after receiving the sacrament. These practices help create a safe, respectful, and meaningful spiritual experience.

​

• Marijuana (including CBD), alcohol, recreational drugs, and psychedelic substances such as MDMA, LSD, psilocybin mushrooms, ketamine, Bufo (5-MeO-DMT), San Pedro, Peyote, Kambo, Kratom, Kava, and similar substances.

​

For at least 1 week before and after the ceremony

• Red meat and pork.

• Fast food, fermented foods, aged cheeses, excessive sugar, spicy foods, and chocolate.

• Excessive use of social media.

​

Prescription Medications

Please tell us about all prescription medications you are currently taking. Every application is reviewed confidentially as part of our safety screening process.

Some medications—including many antidepressants, psychiatric medications, benzodiazepines, and ADHD medications—may not be compatible with the sacrament.

Never stop or change a prescribed medication without first consulting your physician.

If you have any questions, please contact us before scheduling your ceremony. We are happy to help determine whether it is safe for you to participate.

​

Supporting Our Mission

Centro Espiritual Luz Divina is sustained by the voluntary contributions of its members and friends. These contributions help care for our sanctuary, support our ceremonies, and allow our spiritual community to continue serving others.

The suggested minimum contribution for the One Day Ceremony (Luz Divina Ceremony) is $290, which includes overnight accommodations in our private cabins.

If you are able to contribute beyond the suggested amount, your generosity is deeply appreciated. Every contribution helps strengthen our mission and make this sacred work available to future members.

​

Please Note

• Your reservation is confirmed once your contribution is received.

• Because each ceremony requires advance preparation and space is limited, contributions are generally non-refundable.

• If you are unable to attend, you may request to transfer your contribution to a future ceremony, subject to availability and church approval.
