SABE INSIGHT
the mission
Sabe’s namesake is Maria Sabina, the Mazatec sabia, or curandera. Well-respected in her village as a healer and shaman, Maria performed the velada mushroom ceremony for several decades for the purpose of “communing with God and healing the sick.”
Sabina is also credited with inadvertently introducing magic mushrooms to the western world when Gordon Wasson published an expose in LIFE magazine in 1957. While his article shed light on the powerful outcomes associated with Maria’s mushroom ceremonies, it also led to misinformation about the benefits of plant-based medicines like psilocybin and their role in resetting one’s well-being.
We are dedicated to honoring and restoring the mission of Maria Sabina through its integration of well-curated retreats punctuated with medicinal experiences.
