A NOTE ON THE SIZE OF THE CEREMONY:
Our ceremonies are intentionally intimate, with a maximum of just 13 participants.
We believe the size of the container matters. Keeping our gatherings small allows us to offer a level of personal care, presence, nourishment and connection that can be difficult to create in larger ceremonial settings.
Rather than getting lost in a crowd, each person is seen, supported and held as part of the experience. This intimacy also creates space for genuine connection within the group, allowing community to become part of the medicine itself.
Because we intentionally keep our ceremonies small, space is limited.
We encourage you to reserve your place early to ensure availability.

Your Facilitators
Sari "Sylver" Starr
Based on the Big Island of Hawai‘i after seven years in Los Angeles, Canadian-born Sari Starr is a ceremonialist, musician, author, and founder working at the intersection of sacred ritual, music, and human consciousness.
Before stepping into the world of sacred ceremony, Sari spent over a decade running a creative agency, building marketing campaigns for lifestyle brands around the globe beginning in 2002. Her background in culture-building and storytelling later became a powerful foundation for helping shift public perception around sacred plants and consciousness practices.
In 2016 she launched Redefining Cannabis, an initiative dedicated to helping cultivate a new era of cannabis culture rooted in education, intention, and respect for the plant. This work led to the creation of Cannabliss Retreats, one of the early pioneers of educational and experiential cannabis retreats and festivals, hosting gatherings in California, Canada, and Jamaica.
After relocating to Hawai‘i, Sari co-founded Sanctuary 72, a sacred sacrament temple devoted to conscious ceremony, education, and community. Through Sanctuary 72 she facilitates retreats, ceremonies, and the Mush Love Initiation, a facilitator training program focused on ethical leadership and responsible stewardship of ceremonial spaces.
Alongside her ceremonial work, Sari channels her creative expression through her musical project Sylver Starr, a persona born from a profound ceremonial experience shortly after arriving in Hawai‘i. As Sylver Starr she creates mystical soundscapes and spirit-driven anthems that weave together rock, electronic, and ceremonial music into immersive experiences of remembrance and liberation.
Sari is also the founder of Celestial Sacraments, a line of herbal alchemy products created to support ritual practice and conscious living.
Her work draws from more than two decades of exploration into human potential, consciousness, and the mystery traditions. Her studies include yoga teacher training, Reiki Levels 1 and 2, Dr. Joe Dispenza’s Advanced Quantum Retreat, and two years of initiation within the 13 Moon Oracle Mystery School, alongside ongoing study of Hermetic philosophy, Kabbalah, ritual magick, and non-dual inquiry.
Through ceremony, music, mentorship, and facilitator training, Sari guides individuals and communities in working with sacred sacraments—including fungi and cannabis—as tools for expanded awareness and personal evolution. Her work focuses on helping people move beyond inherited conditioning and into greater clarity, sovereignty, and creative power.
Her projects and work have been featured in Rolling Stone, LA Weekly, High Times, Huffington Post, and on Late Night with Seth Meyers, among other publications.

Phoenix Krief van Rooyen
Phoenix Krief van Rooyen
Phoenix Krief van Rooyen is a multidimensional ceremonial space holder, Reiki Energy Master, clairvoyant intuitive, sound devotee, alchemical empath, and devotional guide rooted in Christ consciousness, sacred embodiment, and the remembrance of God within.
Her work lives at the meeting place of the mystical and deeply human. With almost two decades devoted to the healing arts, Phoenix weaves Reiki, prayer, intuitive sight, telepathic sensitivity, light language, sound transmission, yogic science, sacred feminine embodiment, and energetic grid fieldwork into containers of profound remembrance and transformation.
Phoenix’s gift is her ability to listen beyond words. She attunes to the subtle language of the body, the emotional field, the nervous system, and the unseen architecture of the soul. As a Seraphim angelic channel and multidimensional guide, she holds space with fierce tenderness, spiritual precision, and deep reverence for the sacred intelligence moving through each person’s journey.
Her medicine is not performance. It is presence.
Phoenix walks with the understanding that true healing is not about becoming someone new, but returning to what was never destroyed: innocence, truth, embodiment, soul remembrance, and direct connection with God. Her facilitation invites participants to soften beneath the armor of survival, release what no longer belongs, and remember the original light within.
Within ceremony, Phoenix serves as a guardian of the field; holding prayer, sound, silence, energetic safety, emotional attunement, and intuitive guidance. She brings a mothering fire to the space: protective, clear, compassionate, and deeply anchored.
Phoenix is honored to co-facilitate Return to Innocence as a sacred passage of remembrance, healing, integration, and return...to the body, to the heart, to God, and to the untouched innocence that has always remained within.
Phoenix’s training, studies, and experience include:
-
Yogic science
-
Karuna Reiki Master-level practice
