Frequently Asked Questions

Is this legal?

Yes! Green Mountain Medicine Circles operates as a sincere religious organization that uses its sacrament (psilocybin mushrooms) as part of our spiritual and healing practices. This use is protected under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) and the First Amendment of the Constitution.

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 believe that reducing it to a transactional exchange obscures its deeper purpose. For this reason, Green Mountain Medicine Circles does not charge fixed fees for its services. Instead, participation is offered through a donation model rooted in reciprocity, accessibility, and community care. For overnight psilocybin ceremonies, we suggest a donation of $400. This contribution helps cover costs of lodging, sacramental medicine, live music, facilitator support throughout the ceremony and overnight experience, post-ceremony meals, and follow-up care.


No one is turned away for lack of means...if you need help, we've got you. At the same time, we ask those who are able to contribute, as donations are the organization’s sole source of support and make it possible for us to continue offering this work to others. Our model reflects our commitment to healing, mutual aid, and trust in the abundance of life. If our services are meaningful to you, we invite you to support this work by giving generously and paying it forward for the benefit of future participants.
