Entheo Temple

This is beautiful

If your younger self met you today, what would surprise them most?

Hi 👋🏼 we’re Mira Joleigh aka “Miracle” and Alex Himes
Nice to meet you!

This community will resonate with some, and not so much with others. The idea is to find the ones who are on a similar path and support each other.

If you choose to stay, we’re so happy to have you here.

Which one made you say…
“Yep, me too”?

If you wrote a book about the person who hurt you the most, what would the last sentence be?

Feel into this...

Poem “Death Is Nothing At All”
By Henry Scott-Holland

Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Nothing has happened.

Everything remains exactly as it was.
I am I, and you are you,
and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.

Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it.

Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolute and unbroken continuity.
What is this death but a negligible accident?

Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval,
somewhere very near,
just round the corner.

All is well.
Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

Thank you to all who have contributed (funds or labor) to the ministry in Atlanta!

We had our first build day this past weekend and got about 50% through the prototype for the large box to be installed on-site at (similar to the ones pictured)

If you would like to get involved, reach out in a DM and we’ll plug you into the next build day!

Our Connection with Harvard Divinity School

Entheo Temple's work with sacred plants has drawn the attention of researchers at Center for the Study of World Religions (CSWR), who are beginning to recognize the validity and proliferation of sincere entheogenic churches.

Minister Alex Himes will be featured on a panel "Entheogenic Gospel: A Fireside Chat with Novel Psychedelic Church Founders" at the annual Psychedelic Intersections Symposium, April 10-11 in Cambridge, MA.

We’re helping illuminate how ancient sacramental traditions can be approached with reverence, integrity, and care in the modern world.

Do you ever feel your emotions "go offline" as if you're frozen, unable to engage?

The freeze response is a natural, automatic survival mechanism — the body's reaction to an overwhelming threat.

It can feel like being stuck in time, where a past trauma is still felt in the present.

9 Grounding Techniques for Dissociation "When parts of you are triggered, more rational and grounded parts may be overwhelmed and unable to make effective decisions.”

A Prayer for the Collective

"I found myself today saying, please.
Life, surprise me.
Shock me with your grace.
Astound me with your kindness.
Show me that there is something beyond
what it is that I imagined.
Show me what is beyond me.
Because what is beyond me
is what we need right now.
What is beyond us, what we know.
What can be known.
What is the predictable outcome.”
