#150 – Reimagining Spiritual Community Through Psilocybin with Psanctuary

In this episode of Earthlings 2.0, we sit down with Eric Osborne, Co-Founder, Board President and Community Minister of Psanctuary, to explore the rise of mushroom church communities and what intentional psilocybin practice can offer that clinical or purely recreational models often miss. We discuss why nature-based experiences can deepen spiritual connection, how Sanctuary is structured as a peer-led community designed to restore a modern “third space,” and why group support and integration may matter as much as the medicine itself. The conversation also zooms out to the broader psychedelic landscape while grappling with the risks of commercialization, ego-driven “guru” culture, and the challenge of building communities resilient enough to work through conflict rather than fracture under it.
