Discover entheogenic communities offering guided sacrament ceremonies across the US. Vetted for safety, legality, and community integrity.
Psychedelic churches are religious or spiritual communities that use entheogens (psilocybin, ayahuasca, peyote) in ceremony, often citing First Amendment and RFRA protections. Laws vary by state — Oregon and Colorado also run separate licensed psilocybin programs. Use this directory to find a church near you by state, then verify legal status locally before attending.
Legal notice: Psilocybin remains a Schedule I substance under federal law. Churches listed here operate under First Amendment and Religious Freedom Restoration Act protections.

Browse by location and see verified entheogenic churches across the US.
The Bay Area has one of the most active entheogenic church communities in the US. San Francisco, Oakland, and Santa Cruz have all decriminalized entheogenic plants and fungi, lowering local enforcement priority — though psilocybin remains federally illegal and decriminalization is not the same as legal sale. Review the San Francisco legal status before contacting any congregation.
Psychedelic churches are religious or spiritual communities that incorporate entheogenic plants and fungi — psilocybin mushrooms, ayahuasca, peyote and others — into their ceremonies. They often cite First Amendment and Religious Freedom Restoration Act protections. Practices, doctrine and membership requirements differ substantially between communities.
Psilocybin remains Schedule I federally. Churches listed here often operate under religious freedom protections, but laws vary by state and city, and a religious framing does not by itself make possession lawful. Oregon and Colorado run state-legal supervised psilocybin programs that are separate from churches. Always verify current legal status in your area before participating.
It varies by congregation. Across this directory the sacraments include psilocybin mushrooms, cannabis, DMT, 5-MeO-DMT (Bufo), iboga, mescaline, MDMA and LSD. Some communities are single-sacrament and psilocybin-only; others are explicitly multi-sacrament. Each church listing states which sacraments that community works with.
Both exist, and the labels overlap. A “mushroom church” or “psilocybin church” works with psilocybin mushrooms as its sole or primary sacrament. A DMT church works with DMT or 5-MeO-DMT, sometimes sourced from Bufo alvarius. Several communities in this directory are multi-sacrament and would answer to more than one description, so filter by sacrament rather than by name.
Use this directory to find a church in your state, review its membership and ceremony requirements on its own website, and contact the community directly. Many require orientation, signed agreements, or a membership period before granting ceremony access. No church listed here can be joined instantly on arrival.
Psychedelic churches are faith communities that incorporate sacraments under religious freedom frameworks; access depends on membership and doctrine. Psilocybin retreats are commercial or therapeutic programs — Oregon licensed service centers, or international retreats — built around preparation, facilitation and integration. Both can involve ceremony; vet legality, safety and fit for your goals in either case.
