What Are Sacred Plant Medicine Ceremonies?

Sacred plant medicine ceremonies are intentional, spiritual experiences guided by trained facilitators that use powerful, naturally derived plant medicines—such as ayahuasca—to awaken healing, growth, and connection to the Divine.

Unlike recreational use, these ceremonies are sacred rites. They are designed to foster inner exploration, emotional release, spiritual insight, and connection to one’s ancestral roots. At the Temple of Umi, these experiences are treated with deep reverence, rooted in tradition, and offered with integrity under spiritual and legal protection.

A Brief History of Plant Medicine in Sacred Ceremonies

Sacred plant medicines have been used for thousands of years by indigenous cultures across the Amazon, Central America, and other parts of the world. They were, and still are, tools for:

• Visionary insight
• Communication with ancestors and spirits
• Energetic cleansing and healing
• Personal and communal transformation

These ceremonies were (and are) often led by shamans, healers, or medicine people who spent decades in apprenticeship with plant spirits. The Temple of Umi carries this tradition forward, adapting it with modern spiritual frameworks while preserving its sacred roots.
