A gentle rhythm toward July 22
A Shared Act of Sacred Remembrance
World Dose Day invites people to pause, remember, and connect in honor of María Sabina, the Mazatec wisdom keeper whose life helped shape humanity's modern relationship with sacred mushrooms and spiritual inquiry.
The day is not built around one required ritual. It is an open invitation to approach remembrance through silence, prayer, learning, gratitude, nature, creativity, community, or lawful ceremonial practice.
Remembering María Sabina
A Mazatec sabia, healer, poet, and wisdom keeper
María Sabina was from Oaxaca, Mexico, and is remembered for her devotion, service, and relationship with Indigenous spiritual traditions that revered sacred mushrooms as sacrament.
World Dose Day honors both the gift her life helped illuminate and the responsibility that comes with receiving that history with humility, cultural respect, and care.
Why World Dose Day?
More than commercialization. A day for reverence.
As global conversations around healing, spirituality, science, religious liberty, and sacred mushrooms continue to grow, this remembrance creates space for gratitude, context, and responsibility.
