What is a medicine circle?

A medicine circle is any gathering of people with the shared purpose of healing and personal growth. This term is influenced by the medicine wheel, a sacred symbol used by many Indigenous cultures in North America, representing the interconnectedness of all life and balance of the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of our being.

What is a sacrament?

A sacrament is a sacred rite, symbol or object that is essential in the pursuit of one's spiritual practice. Our sacrament, the psilocybin mushroom, is a sacred tool used to deepen self-awareness, healing, and communion with the divine.

Can I acquire mushrooms from you and use them on my own?

No, not at this time, all of our offerings are in person and under the guidance of trained facilitators.

How much does this cost?

Healing work is a sacred, intimate, person-to-person experience, and we feel that money confuses this issues greatly. As such, Green Mountain Medicine Circles does not charge for its services...members receive our services for free, always. Our empathetic and radical egalitarian model stands as testament to our dedication to our mission of healing planet and people.


If our services are helpful, we do hope that our members will in turn donate to the organization, paying it forward so that others might also get help. At present, these donations are the organization's sole source of income and thus we rely on them to survive.
