The World of Traditional Ayahuasca.

"Healing People To Heal The Planet!"

Highly recommend!
"I wasn't entirely sure about what to expect from our experience with the ACF. Tony and Johanka created a nurturing space for all of us who participated outside of San Francisco in December 2025. I would highly recommend ACF for the exceptional experience and the support provided from the outset including preparation information to the experience from the accommodation and food to the integration sessions.
It was a supportive environment I felt held everyone's personal experience, and I feel honoured to have had the opportunity to
participate and become part of this community. Highly recommended!"

"The most profound experience of my life. If you need to found yourself & more, do not hesitate. This was the best and most important experience of my life."

California Summer Ceremony
"Epic Weekend. Words cannot fully capture this epic weekend. The environment was
stunning and peaceful. Everyone involved showed immense dedication and integrity. Doing Ayahuasca here with my family was a beautiful, transformative milestone. Every detail of the space radiates care and intentionality. Thank you to the wonderful team. We are deeply grateful.
Tony your dedication and love is very much appreciated. We will see you
soon. 🙏🏾🫶🏽"

Experience of a Lifetime
"This trip was one of the most beautiful experiences that I’ve had in this lifetime! I felt so full afterwards, and I still do! Everything was perfect! The retreat center we stayed at in the Colorado Mountains
was extremely cozy, the people I was surrounded with were so incredibly
special (they quickly became family and helped make the experience all
that it was), the journey that we took together was truly the experience
of a lifetime, the food was delicious, and I WILL be back for more. I will never forget this experience, and if you are ready this is exactly where you are meant to be! I’ve never felt a sense of belonging like I did during my trip with ACF. Tony is an amazing being and he takes nothing but incredible care of the people around him, and this experience was filled with love and support the entire way. This experience gives you a doorway to step though, and then the rest of the journey is up to you. With that said ACF provides love and support before, during and after the experience. You are never alone! ???"

Mission Statement
The mission of Ayahuasca Community Fellowship is to foster spiritual growth and community healing while honoring ancestral wisdom through the sacred practice of Ayahuasca ceremonies. We are committed to providing a safe, reverent environment where individuals can engage in this ancient Amazonian tradition as a pathway to personal transformation and wellness. Through our deep respect for the Ayahuasca sacrament as a divine gift and adherence to time-honored practices, we guide each participant toward a deeper connection with community and spirit.

Vision Statement
We envision ACF as a global community movement fostering healing and integration in every corner of the world. In our future, we see a network of Ayahuasca integration sanctuaries where anyone seeking renewal can find guidance, friendship, and the life-changing wisdom of this sacred plant. Through these community sanctuaries, individuals rebuild their lives and become part of a growing family that heals together, creating ripples of positive change in their communities and helping to heal our planet.

Theological Formulation for Sacred Ayahuasca Traditions
Ayahuasca Community Fellowship (ACF) presents ayahuasca ceremony as a sacred religious sacrament rooted in ancient traditions. In ACF’s doctrine, Ayahuasca (also called Yagé) is regarded as a “Master Plant Teacher” and a medium for spiritual ascension, rebirth, and purification. The fellowship is explicitly syncretic (inspired by Unitarian Universalism) and non-denominational, meaning it embraces multiple tribal Amazonian spiritual traditions under one faith community. ACF’s purpose is to provide ceremonial practice of ancestral plant medicine in a church/fellowship setting, as a “spiritually cathartic entheogenic communion” for its members.

This theological framework emphasizes that drinking the ayahuasca brew in ceremony is a sacred rite of passage – a profound experience of ego dissolution and renewal. ACF literature describes the Ayahuasca ceremony as a “spiritually profound sacred purgation process” and “truly a native spiritual rite of passage” originating from the holy ancestral plant medicine traditions of Amazonian tribes. In line with this, the fellowship views the intense purgative and visionary effects (sometimes called “ego death”) as central to personal transformation and spiritual growth. Indeed, ego death – the dissolving of one’s sense of self – is often understood as a gateway to spiritual awakening across many traditions. ACF embraces this concept as part of its theology: the temporary “death” of the ego during ceremony allows a spiritual rebirth and deeper connection to the divine.

The fellowship’s motto, “Healing People to Heal the Planet,” reflects a core belief that individual healing through the ayahuasca sacrament contributes to broader spiritual and ecological healing in the world. Overall, the theological formulation is coherent and sincere: ACF is a legally organized church that venerates ayahuasca as a sacrament given in communion to its members for the purpose of spiritual healing, self-knowledge, and connection with the divine. This clear articulation of belief and practice establishes ACF as a bona fide religious organization rather than a mere retreat center.
