Join Azalea as she takes us through the history of the use of Sacred Mushrooms by Mazatec People. This Masterclass will include how the Mazatec People curated their ceremonies, how to decolonize your practice and look towards Indigenous wisdom as a guide without cultural appropriation.
Meet Your Facilitator
Azalea is a traditional mushroom healer with a passion for blending Indigenous wisdom with modern psychological practices. Her own transformative journey with plant medicines helped her to heal from PTSD, depression, and anorexia. This healing with psilocybin led her back to her roots. Being Mestiza (mixed Indigenous Mexican), she shared pre-hispanic and Mazatec ceremonial traditions, fostering a deep commitment to preserving these ancient practices globally.
Trained in Oaxaca, Mexico, under an Indigenous Mazatec lineage, and experienced in plant dietas with the Shipibo lineage in the Amazon, Azalea brings a richly integrated approach to her work. She serves as a bridge between worlds, merging age-old healing traditions with contemporary therapeutic practices.
Her credentials extend beyond the ceremonial space: she’s a facilitator at The Microdosing Institute, certified in Substance Abuse Treatment with Psychedelic Therapy, and has spent years globally facilitating psychedelic experiences and leading all-inclusive retreats. Azalea also contributes to the psychedelic community through journalism and consultancy, helping to expand understanding and respect for these powerful medicines.
As a child of Mother Earth, she aspires to empower others in their healing journeys, forging a sacred path of growth, transformation, and connection to the medicine within.
