Fascinating investigative journalism. It's painful when anything we love with an innocent, curious part of ourselves is commodified to a degree that its beauty becomes obscured. I could blame capitalism, but that's just partializing something that's intrinsic to our human nature.

Wow that estimate is even more than I’d guessed. I always refer to this as the MLM of Psychedelics but I was underestimating Armand. You should dig into the “facilitator training”…. Lot of secrets hidden under those rocks.

I am very interested in facilitator training if anyone has information & wants to slide into the DMs. ;)

I was around when there was a push to create and monetize facilitator training, but I understand it became very big after I left. I attended some facilitator journeys via Zoom. People were upset about the sacrament subscription fees and complaining about the inconsistency of the "sacraments."

I am so curious why more people who have left the shaman's circle are still afraid to speak publicly. And why is the internet scrubbed of his existance?

Yes I have noticed videos of him have recently disappeared from YouTube.

Many people are financially dependent on the structure but plenty of people think I’m a traitor for breaking their secrecy protocols. But the secrecy is how and why rumors continue to circulate. I’m skeptical that the women at the top even know the truth.

I have been working on this story for a few years but I still don’t know the truth.
