    James holds a masculine presence that creates a sense of safety for participants, allowing them to show up authentically and vulnerably. This supportive environment naturally deepens the healing process as it arises, fostering emotional release and spiritual awakening in ceremony.

  • Venusia Salem

    Venusia Salem is a co-founder and Minister of Medicine of Nature Entheogenic Organization (MEO), dedicated to guiding individuals on their journey of healing and self-discovery. Her approach centers around the belief that healing does not come from fixing what may seem broken within us, but rather from shifting the perceptual lens through which we view the world. Venusia invites others to come into remembrance of their inherent wholeness, allowing healing to unfold naturally through this awakened understanding.

    With a deep connection to the natural world, Venusia combines bodywork, energy healing, and ceremonial facilitation to create a space where individuals can reconnect with their true essence. She works with the powerful medicines of Mapacho and Huachuma (San Pedro), guiding ceremonies that encourage deep emotional release, spiritual alignment, and personal transformation.

    In addition to her work with plant medicines, Venusia is a Karuna Reiki Master, a Mesa Carrier, and initiated within the Munay Ki. These sacred practices help her facilitate profound healing, empowering individuals to step into their fullest potential and align with their true selves. Through intuitive care and sacred rituals, she creates transformative experiences that support deep, lasting change.
