Who We Are

About Open Heart Sanctuary

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit religious organization dedicated to the evolution and awakening of individuals through natural, sacred medicines. Rooted in the principles of spiritual connection, healing, and transformation, we guide ceremonies under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (1993).

Our sacred practices are designed to help individuals:

  • Deepen their connection with God, the Universe, and their inner truth.
  • Expand their consciousness and experience profound insight.
  • Embrace transformation and step into a more awakened way of living.

We welcome all people, without judgment or expectation. At Open Heart Sanctuary, there are no labels, no prescribed beliefs, only a safe, supportive space where you are accepted just as you are.

About Josh

I love people; I always have. The desire to help individuals and groups align with the universal values of love, peace, presence and freedom has burned within me for a long time. It truly makes me happy to see people show up authentically, as themselves. For the majority of my life I was not authentic. I was living to earn the approval of others, to fit into the systems, or structures, that were presented to me. I frequently struggled with anxiety, fear, insecurity, and never really felt the sense that I was “enough”. I have intimate experience with loss, heartache, and grief.

After many positive experiences with psilocybin mushrooms I was introduced to 5-MeO-DMT, commonly referred to as the “God Molecule”. I  experienced an ego death (or, dissolution) which led to a merging with  God / Source consciousness. It is the most important moment of my life to date. I then founded Open Heart Sanctuary (2022) so that I could provide a safe space for people to receive this molecule within a ceremonial setting. The readiness and intentionality that people bring to this process is important. We serve Bufo (5-MeO) with reverence and humility for you to have your unique, personal experience. We have found that when people come ready to receive, they get what they need to expand their path.
