ONE - TWO DAY CEREMONY
Saturday June 27th - Mushroom Ceremonial Experience
Sunday June 28th - Cannabis Ceremonial Integration
In the heart of the Nevada City community, we are honored to host Return to Innocence — a 72 Codex Mushroom & Cannabis Ceremony.
A sonic activation of encoded frequencies woven through the 72 Names of Shechina in Kabbalah, this ceremonial journey invokes the frequencies of the Tree of Life through live music, sound transmissions, and light codes designed to awaken the essence of innocence that lives within each of us.
This intentional ceremonial container is designed to guide participants into deeper states of receptivity, joy, release, remembrance, and connection.
We will begin the day by opening the space with a Kabbalistic invocation, calling upon the angelic realms to surround and protect the ceremony.
Participants will then be served a Blue Lotus-infused mushroom tea, intentionally dosed between 1.5–2g to create a grounded, lucid, and heart-open experience, allowing the music itself to become the medicine.
The ceremonial arc will journey through the four elements:
Air into Fire,
Fire into Water,
and Water into Earth.
Over the course of three hours, we will travel through multidimensional spaces guided by frequency, prayer, sound, and presence.
Following the inward journey, we will transition into ecstatic dance and embodied play to help anchor what has been received into the body.
To preserve the integrity of the container, the ceremonial space will remain free of talking and sharing throughout the duration of the experience.
Integration is an essential aspect of this work, allowing what is revealed to become grounded and embodied within the material realm.
The following day, we will gather for a cannabis-led integration ceremony.
Whether your relationship with this sacred plant has been beautiful, challenging, confusing, or profound, this ceremonial transmission is designed to offer a completely new way of relating to the Spirit of Santa Maria.
Through intentional communion, participants may begin to experience a deeper understanding of how this intelligence guides, teaches, reveals, and heals.
Following the ceremony, we will open the space for a heart-led integration circle where the community will have the opportunity to share reflections and receive support.
At the conclusion of each ceremony, we will gather together for a nourishing Agape feast prepared with love to help ground, reconnect, and restore the body.
Sari and Natalie curated an amazing experience with so much knowledge, care and love. The location was magical, hand-picked to be the perfect place to hold our group and the different events that we participated in. The workshops and ceremonies were unique and fun, and so deep and thought-provoking/mind-expanding. The gorgeous live music and amazing homemade meals - every aspect of this container had so much love and care poured into it, and it was felt! These are powerful priestesses who are sharing their gifts to lead you through a spiritual journey that will change your life and awareness! I highly recommend Sari and Natalie’s retreats if you are seeking a transformative, healing and beautiful experience while spending a week in paradise!

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 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.

For the past seven years, Madison has been facilitating intimate ceremonies in her home temple in Los Angeles alongside her husband, creating sacred spaces where artists, visionaries, and creatives reconnect with their truth, unlock their voice, and deepen their relationship to music as medicine.
Through these gatherings, she has guided hundreds of participants through immersive experiences that weave together music, sound healing, meditation, and intentional ceremony—inviting artists to move beyond performance and into embodiment, authenticity, and creative liberation.
