Three Nights. One Intention.
The path to gnosis cannot be taught — only walked.
– R. Demetri Vallejos
At Temple of Hermes, we offer sanctuary for those ready to move beyond intellectual understanding into direct experience. Our ceremonial retreats follow the sacred rhythms of the moon — gathering at the New Moon for inward journey and dissolution, and at the Full Moon for illumination and integration.
Three Nights in Ceremony
Each retreat unfolds across three consecutive evenings of sacred plant medicine work, held in intentional community. This is not a single experience but a progression — calcination, dissolution, and conjunction — mirroring the alchemical stages of genuine transformation.
We gather when the cosmos supports the work:
New Moon — turning inward, releasing what no longer serves, planting seeds in darkness
Full Moon — revelation, integration, harvesting insight into embodied wisdom
Become a beacon of guidance and wisdom in your own Life. Your journey to becoming starts now. Choose the path that resonates with you.
Gathering With Deep Intention
Before you arrive, you will be guided through intention-setting practices. The body and mind respond to clarity. Know why you have come.
Willingness to Grow
Self-mastery begins with radical self-honesty. These ceremonies will show you what needs attention. Your work is to stay present with what arises.
Readiness for Authentic Connection
With yourself. With spirit.
With the others who gather alongside you.

Preserving the Ancient Tradition of the Hermetic Lineage and an Ingano Tradition of the Putumayo in Salt Lake City, Utah
Many of our experiences have shown us that the sacramental use of natural entheogens within an appropriate spiritual context, far from being a dissociative experience for the mind and detrimental to the health of the individual or of society, is, on the contrary, an activity beneficial for the expansion of consciousness, and in turn, positive for the purposes of our individual spiritual quests as human beings on this planet. Our love and connection to all things is enhanced and better understood through the sacramental consumption of natural entheogens.
More specifically, sacramental consumption of natural entheogens often evokes mystical experiences, which takes us and our members to higher spiritual realms/dimensions where we interact with the Divine Creator and other spiritual entities. This higher spiritual realm can become more accessible for humans through the sacramental use of natural entheogens which we aim to promote through sacred ceremony and ancestral consciousness.
WE BELIEVE and we are aware that the sacramental use of natural entheogens is a very ancient practice, perhaps dating back to more than 100,000 years ago. In regards to ayahuasca and San Pedro, ancient practices and ceremonies date back to over 2,000 years ago. To the best of our ability, we adopt and implement these ancient and sacred practices and ceremonies to be consistent and honor the ancestors.
WE BELIEVE that, at all times, our members have a moral and ethical obligation to approach everyday life situations from a place of peace, love, and understanding and in a manner consistent with the general and individual messages innately present within the Divine Creation and the spiritual realm.
Our Sacraments
AYAHUASCA
Ayahuasca is a mixture of Amazonian herbs, capable of inducing altered states of consciousness, usually for 4 to 8 hours after ingestion. The experience can range from a mild stimulus to extreme visions. Ayahuasca is used primarily as a medicine and as a way of shamanic communication with ancestral consciousness, usually at a ceremony under the supervision of an experienced guide or teacher.
San Pedro Cactus
San Pedro is a plant medicine for personal growth both enlightenment of mind, and strength of the heart and sexual organs. Through spiritual growth this medicine has the ability to open the subconscious which facilitates the feeling your power through an open heart. A San Pedro ceremony is an inward journey that elicits deep insights into the self expansion of perception in yourself and the universe helping you to heal, to grow, to learn and awaken.
Psilocybin Containing Mushrooms
Mushrooms are known as the internet of nature. Social beings, capable of awareness and consciousness. Similar to our brain they build a neurological network with information sharing membranes. Those membranes are able to react to change and collectively have the long-term health of their environment in mind. Of the thousands of mushrooms existing all around the globe our ancestors and modern scientists have identified several dozen that have unique combinations of healing talents, which improve our health.
