What does it take to build a community that can hold you steady when the world feels like it’s burning down? In this message, Teopixqui Dez opens a new monthly theme centered on the Seven Psyches… recurring roles that help real community thrive. The first of those is the Sojourner: the person who goes out, has the experience, finds the lesson, and brings that wisdom back for the benefit of others. Drawing from psychology, spirituality, community-building, and lived experience, Teopixqui Dez explores what it means to become someone who doesn’t just survive hard lessons… but transforms...

What happens when someone who identifies as an atheist… and someone who leads a psychedelic church… sit down and actually listen to each other? In this conversation, ThreadKeeper Sarah is joined by community member Rob K., who shares his journey from isolation, anxiety, and persistent shame… into something quieter, lighter, and more grounded. Before finding the Colorado Psychedelic Church, Rob describes living in a constant mental loop — replaying guilt, anticipating conflict, and feeling stuck in what he calls “ruts” of thought. Despite years of self-study and introspection,...

With Dez out sick, ThreadKeeper Sarah steps in to lead a very different kind of Tuesday night gathering… one built not around teaching, but around testimony. Instead of defining sacrament in abstract terms, the community turns toward story. Why do people keep showing up on Tuesday nights? Why does sacrament matter enough to build a spiritual practice around it? What happened in these journeys that could not have happened any other way? Sarah opens the evening by inviting everyone to reflect on the moments that changed them… the visions, memories, emotional breakthroughs, releases, and...

In this deeply personal conversation, Bahn Fasa Maya sits down with Olaz, Chief Mycologist of the Colorado Psychedelic Church, to trace the long and painful road that brought him to the medicine. What begins as a story about curiosity and early psychedelic exploration quickly becomes something much heavier. Olaz shares how LSD first opened the door to wonder, how mushrooms remained elusive for years, and how a single catastrophic high-dose mushroom experience changed everything. What he expected to be enlightenment became terror, confusion, trauma, and years of fear around the medicine that...

What actually makes something… sacred? In this sermon and follow-up conversation, we explore the difference between casual use and true sacrament… and why intention, acknowledgment, and relationship change everything.

This conversation with Ash… also known as Mascus… is about far more than art. It’s about what happens when someone pours spirit into color, character, music, and creation… and then finds a community that actually sees it. Ash shares the long arc of being an artist from the very beginning of life, the strange and beautiful influences that shaped their style, and the way their inner world became populated with vivid beings, protectors, singers, painters, and living symbols of connection. That energy now lives inside the Colorado Psychedelic Church’s art cards… not just as decoration,...

What happens when you stop looking up… and realize the divine is already within you? That shift changes everything—including prayer. Dez opens with a challenge to rethink what prayer actually is. Not begging. Not empty words. Not something directed at a distant force. If you are divine, then prayer isn’t about asking—it’s about acting. It’s the way you care for yourself. The way you show up for others. The way you move through the world with intention. Prayer becomes something lived. From there, Farmacist Castle takes it deeper in a breakout discussion… stripping prayer down to...

This conversation unfolds in two powerful movements… first, a behind-the-scenes look at Thaumaturgist Julian’s journey into DMT work, and second, a firsthand account of the kind of healing that can emerge when someone steps fully into the experience. Dez sits down with Julian to explore how an intense and overwhelming early encounter with DMT became a turning point—not just personally, but in shaping how he now supports others. What began as disorientation and ego dissolution evolved into clarity, discipline, and a deep respect for the responsibility of facilitation. From there, the...

In this sermon, Teopixqui Dez explores a powerful idea at the heart of the Colorado Psychedelic Church’s philosophy: the creation of a “divine us.” While each individual carries their own divinity, something extraordinary happens when people come together in community. The collective energy, care, responsibility, and time shared among individuals can create something larger than any one person — a force capable of healing, strengthening, and even saving lives. But Dez also reminds the congregation that divinity requires humility. Passion without grounding can become destructive,...
