Hello Friends,

Trevahr and I have just returned from our business trip/vacation in Arizona where we held workshops, classes, rituals and ceremonies for the Phoenix community with great success!

We're happy to announce some great upcoming events for our San Diego community and we look forward to seeing you all again!

Join us for some fun and educational events including the 3 year anniversary party of Sacred Spiral:
Salvia: Communing with the Shepherdess

August 6th from 2-4 PM at Controversial Bookstore in North Park

3063 University Ave, San Diego, CA

RSVP TO RESERVE YOUR SEAT by calling Controversial Bookstore 619-296-1560

Have you ever wondered what the most powerful naturally occurring psychedelic was? Why is Salvia legal in many states and quickly becoming regulated?

This lecture and slideshow presentation will help you to find answers to these questions and many more. We will talk about:

-the visionary states

-ritual use among indigenous peoples

-the spirit within the plant

-how to use this plant teacher appropriately

-how to help others to have a "good trip" or healing while under the influence of the shepherdess.

Research and citations are based on opinions and experiences shared by Martin W. Ball (author of Sage Spirit: Salvia Divinorum and the Entheogenic Experience) and J.D. Arthur (author of Salvia Divinorum: Doorway to Thought-Free Awareness), and contributions from Christian Ratsch and Gianluca Toro.
