The board members, co-founders, and advisors of our organization represent culturally diverse individuals whose common interest is:
To preserve and protect the wild populations of Lophophora williamsii, the preservation, conservation of native habitat, its biodiversity, and the preservation of Indigenous culture.
The preservation of indigenous culture and ceremonial role is an acknowledgment of indigenous people who are historically caretakers of this continent, its plant medicines, water and species of plants and animals! We acknowledge peyotes’ right to exist and thrive as a species , and advocate for the future of the wild populations in its native habitat.
We focus to find positive and collaborative solutions to the ecological crisis facing the sacrament peyote today. Just as we are devoted to supporting each other in ceremony, we support each other in our organizational mission, each with our own perspective and talents. Our diversity strengthens our mission with the understanding that we can not accomplish our mission alone and reverse the trends that threaten the sacrament peyote and its native habitat.
Our appreciation for how the sacrament peyote manifests blessings in each of our lives is a conscious responsibility to care and take action. The advice, wisdom and prayers by our elders “to stay behind the medicine”, is how our mission is manifesting and evolving. Therefore, we are inviting you to learn about the challenges and potential remedies for the wellbeing of the sacrament peyote, “Lophophora williamsii”.
Due to legal constraints, we primarily serve established Native American Church chapters and their membership. However, in our educational mission, we include people who are conservationists, and have a sincere concern for life on this planet! We are inclusive and have no divisions of social, religious, gender, political, or racial distinctions. This is to say that, just as the medicine welcomed our own sincere interest, we welcome yours. If you’re serious about learning more, assisting the program, or spreading the word of support, we invite you to contact us.
