Accountability and Community Support

Holding space for someone in a vulnerable state is among the most sacred responsibilities a person can carry. It asks everything of you. And it rests entirely on trust.

This work exists outside of conventional regulatory systems, and we want to be honest about what that means. Without formal oversight structures, it is not always immediately clear where someone can turn if a question arises, if something feels off, or if a concern needs to be heard by someone other than us. That uncertainty is real, and we do not think it should be left unaddressed.

So we have chosen to address it ourselves.

This page exists as an act of transparency. Listed below are the mentors, elders, and peers who know Mary's work intimately, who have walked alongside her in this practice, and who are deeply committed to ethical, heart centered facilitation in the entheogenic healing community. These are not figurehead endorsements. They are living relationships, built over years of shared work, honest conversation, and mutual accountability. If you have a concern and would prefer not to bring it to us directly, any one of these individuals is available to you. They will listen. They will help.

What you will find here is also a window into Mary's lineage, her training, and the web of community that holds her practice in place. Many of us working in the unregulated entheogenic trades have come to understand that in the absence of state sanctioned systems, trust and transparency are not optional. They are the structure. They are what makes this work safe and sustainable for everyone involved.

Healing is relational at its core. It is built in the space between people, in the willingness to be honest, to be accountable, and to show up for one another when things are hard. At Myco-Vision, that relational ethic does not stop at the edge of ceremony. It extends outward into how we hold ourselves within this community, how we respond when something needs tending, and how we continue to earn the trust that makes this work possible in the first place.

We are genuinely grateful for the community that surrounds and sustains this practice. And we are grateful for you, for caring enough to want to know that accountability lives here too.
