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 peyote and its native habitat. Our concern to preserve its cultural and ceremonial role, and to acknowledge its right to exist and thrive as a species on the earth. Our common mission is for the future of the medicine itself and its native habitat.
As individuals, each of us has our own personal beliefs, opinions, traditions, cultural backgrounds, and experience. However, our common focus is 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 wisdom and prayers by our elders as advise to stay behind the medicine, is how this prayer based work 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”.
Because of time, resource, and policy constraints, we make it our priority to primarily serve established Native American Church chapters and their membership. However, in our educational mission, we are not motived to draw lines around the sacred peyote by division 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.
