Our Mission

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 engage with ancestral Amazonian plant medicine as a path toward personal transformation, self-knowledge, and communion with the divine.

Our Vision

A global movement fostering integration and healing in every community. We envision a network of grounded sanctuaries where those seeking renewal find guidance, true fellowship, and the enduring wisdom of master plant teachers—creating concentric circles of healing that help heal our planet.

Theological Formulation & Sacramental Traditions

The Ayahuasca Community Fellowship (ACF) presents the ceremony strictly as a sacred religious sacrament rooted in millennial ancestral traditions. In fellowship doctrine, Ayahuasca (Yagé) is revered as a Master Plant Teacher and an instrument of spiritual ascension, purification, and renewal.

Our fellowship is syncretic (inspired by Unitarian Universalism) and non-denominational. We honor and embrace multiple tribal Amazonian lineages under a unified faith community. ACF exists to offer ancestral plant communion in a church sanctuary setting—a spiritually cathartic rite of passage for all sincere seekers.

The ceremony facilitates an intentional process of ego dissolution and spiritual rebirth. This "death of the ego" allows participants to shed layers of trauma, psychological constriction, and emotional discord. As expressed in our core motto, "Healing People to Heal the Planet," individual catharsis serves collective and ecological healing.

Tony Westbrook

Founder & Ceremonial Facilitator

Tony founded the Ayahuasca Community Fellowship with a dedication to preserving the purity and integrity of traditional Amazonian plant medicine. Having sat deeply with elders across Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru, his focus is on creating safe, legally grounded, and heart-centered sanctuaries where participants receive thorough preparation, compassionate ceremonial care, and lasting integration.

Prior to his calling in plant medicine stewardship, Tony worked for decades as a fine artist and photographer—with original works exhibited through the U.S. Department of State Art in Embassies program in Nicosia and Sana'a, as well as fine art galleries throughout Colorado. This artistic perspective shapes the visual reverence, sacred geometry, and stillness found in the fellowship's ceremony spaces.
