Our Mission

We exist to hold sacred space for those who are suffering — to offer the healing power of plant medicine sacraments within a protected, spiritually grounded container, and to defend every person's right to seek the Divine.

We hold that the sacred medicines of the earth are sacraments — ancient tools of healing, revelation, and return. Our church exists to provide a safe, reverent, and transformative container for those called to this path.

The Singularity Church of the Toad and Breathwork · San Antonio, Texas

Ancient Wisdom, Living Practice

Our spiritual roots

The Singularity Church of the Toad and Breathwork draws from a living lineage of wisdom traditions. Our practice is not invented — it is remembered. Rooted in the indigenous Shamanism of the Seri people of Sonora and enriched by the perennial philosophy, we offer a coherent, time-tested path to healing and awakening.

Primary Root

Seri Tribe Shamanism

The Seri (Comcáac) people of the Sonoran Desert — spanning the border of Sonora, Mexico and the Texas region — are among the oldest continuous cultures in North America. Their shamanic tradition holds the natural world as sacred and alive, with plant medicines serving as direct channels to the divine.

Our ceremonies honor this lineage: the use of sacred medicines not as recreation, but as sacrament — a structured encounter with the deeper intelligence of life itself. The Seri understood that healing the spirit heals the body. We carry that understanding forward.

Land & Place

The Sonoran Desert corridor — from Hermosillo to San Antonio — is the living geography of this tradition. Our ceremonies are held on this sacred land.

The Shaman's Role

The shaman does not heal — the shaman creates the conditions for healing. Our facilitators are trained in this understanding: holding space, not directing outcomes.

Sacred Reciprocity

Every ceremony includes offerings and gratitude practices drawn from Seri tradition. We do not extract from the medicine — we enter into relationship with it.

The Perennial Philosophy

Theosophy

Founded by H.P. Blavatsky in the 19th century, Theosophy holds that all world religions share a single esoteric core — the unity of all life and the evolution of consciousness. We draw on its framework to understand the entheogenic experience as a genuine encounter with the deeper layers of reality, not a chemical anomaly.

The divine is not separate from nature — it is expressed through it.

G.I. Gurdjieff's Teaching

The Fourth Way

Gurdjieff taught that most human beings live in a state of "waking sleep" — mechanical, reactive, and unconscious. The Fourth Way offers a path of self-observation and intentional suffering to awaken genuine consciousness. Our ceremonies are structured to interrupt mechanical patterns and create the conditions for real self-awareness.

You cannot change what you cannot see. The medicine shows you what you have been avoiding.

The Path of Liberation

Buddhism

Buddhist philosophy — particularly the Theravada and Tibetan traditions — provides our integration framework. The understanding of impermanence, the nature of suffering (dukkha), and the possibility of liberation (nirvana) maps directly onto the entheogenic experience. We use Buddhist mindfulness practices before, during, and after ceremony.

Suffering arises from clinging. The medicine dissolves the grip — integration teaches you not to re-grip.

Science of Inner Knowing

Noetic Science

The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), founded by Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, studies the intersection of consciousness, science, and healing. Their research validates what indigenous traditions have known for millennia: that consciousness is primary, not secondary, and that non-ordinary states of awareness can produce measurable, lasting healing outcomes.

The most rigorous science now confirms what the shaman always knew: consciousness is the foundation of reality.

Our Commitment to Texas

Helping Texas become drug-free.

We believe the path to a drug-free Texas runs through healing — not punishment. Addiction is a spiritual wound, and sacred ceremony addresses it at the root. Our mission is to help Texans find lasting freedom from substance dependency through the ancient wisdom of sacramental practice.

1 in 3
Texans affected

Substance use disorder touches one in three Texas families. Conventional treatment has a high relapse rate. We offer a different path — one that addresses the root cause.

Root Cause
Not symptom management

Sacred ceremony goes to the unresolved trauma and spiritual disconnection that drives addictive behavior — not just the behavior itself.

6 Weeks
Integration support

Every ceremonial path includes six weeks of integration support — the work that turns a ceremony into lasting change.

Why Sacred Medicine Works

Healing the wound, not managing the symptom

Conventional addiction treatment focuses on behavior modification and chemical management. Sacred ceremony goes deeper — to the unresolved trauma, the spiritual disconnection, and the existential pain that drives addictive behavior in the first place.

When a person genuinely encounters the love and intelligence at the core of their own being — as these medicines reliably facilitate — the compulsion to self-medicate often dissolves naturally. This is not a theory. It is what our participants report, again and again.

I

Root Cause Access

Sacred medicines allow the mind to access and process the unresolved experiences that drive addictive patterns — experiences that talk therapy often cannot reach.

II

Neuroplasticity Window

Research shows these medicines create a period of heightened neuroplasticity — the brain's ability to form new patterns. Integration work during this window produces lasting change.

III

Spiritual Reconnection

Addiction is often described as a "hole in the soul." Sacred ceremony addresses this directly — reconnecting the person to a sense of meaning, belonging, and divine presence.

The Sacraments

The ceremonies

Three sacraments. A deliberate sequence. Each prepares the ground for the next.

I · The Purgative Sacrament

Kambo

A powerful secretion from the Phyllomedusa bicolor frog, used ceremonially to purge physical and energetic toxins. Kambo initiates the healing journey by clearing the body's terrain.

Our Community

Who we serve

Person in recovery

Addiction Recovery

For those who have tried everything and still feel the pull of the pattern — our ceremonial path goes to the root. Not willpower. Not management. A genuine encounter with the pain that drives the behavior.

Person carrying unresolved trauma

Trauma & PTSD

Trauma does not always come from a battlefield. It comes from loss, abuse, moral injury, and the weight of experiences the mind could not fully process. We offer a structured ceremonial path designed to reach what conventional treatment cannot — with trauma-informed integration support throughout.

Safety First

Your safety is sacred.

We do not take the responsibility of holding ceremony lightly. Every participant undergoes a thorough screening process before any ceremony is offered.

Learn About Our Screening Process →
I

Medical Screening

Full contraindication review including cardiac, psychiatric, and medication history before any ceremony is offered.

II

Preparation

Mandatory preparation sessions with our integration team to set intention, understand the process, and establish safety protocols.

III

Held Ceremony

All ceremonies are facilitated by trained, experienced guides in a controlled, sacred environment with medical support on call.

IV

Integration

Post-ceremony integration support is not optional — it is built into every program. Healing happens in the weeks after, not just during.

Voices of Healing

Testimonials

After 14 years of alcohol dependency and two failed rehab attempts, the Kambo and mushroom ceremonies gave me something I had never found before — a genuine reason to live differently. The integration support made it stick.

M.R.Recovery Participant · 18 months sober
I came back from two deployments carrying things I couldn't name. Three ceremonies and six weeks of integration work later, I sleep through the night for the first time in a decade. This is not a cure — it's a door. They helped me walk through it.
JT
J.T.U.S. Army Veteran · Combat Deployment
The screening process alone told me this was different. They turned me away from 5-MeO-DMT initially because of a medication I was on. That level of care — putting my safety above filling a spot — is why I trust them completely.
