Our Purpose

Our Mission

The Temple Lotus is devoted to providing a safe, compassionate, and sacred space for healing, self-discovery, and spiritual transformation. We honor the responsible and reverent use of entheogenic sacraments, supporting each individual's journey with integrity, presence, and respect. Our intention is to help others reconnect with their authentic nature and awaken to the wisdom, peace, and love that reside within.

Colleen Mariposa

Founder & Bufo Priestess

Colleen is the founder of the Temple Lotus in Las Vegas, Nevada. Her journey with sacred plant medicines and entheogens began through her own path of healing, self-discovery, and spiritual transformation. These profound experiences inspired her to become a certified 5-MeO-DMT (Bufo) facilitator, dedicated to serving others with compassion, integrity, and deep respect for the medicine.

She believes that, when held in a safe, intentional, and supportive environment, these sacred medicines have the potential to help individuals heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, and other emotional challenges while reconnecting with their authentic selves. Her mission is to create a sanctuary where people can explore profound healing, expand their awareness, and remember the wholeness that already exists within them.

The Facilitators

Guardians of the Container

Our facilitators are CPR / BLS / AED-certified and trained in intensity management, physical and psychological support, and integration guidance. They practice a doctrine of non-interference — holding the space with presence, and intervening only for safety or at a guest's request.

Integration & Support

To integrate is to blend into a unified, functioning whole. Communion is only the first step — the real work unfolds in the days, weeks, and months that follow.

Mindfulness

Meet the process in a space of awareness, rather than letting daily noise obscure subtle insights.

Meditation

Sitting with the breath, yoga, or grounding creative practice gives you the stability to work with what surfaces.

🌿

Grounding

Hearty, solid foods, ample water, rest, and abstaining from alcohol and stimulants keep you in your body.

🤝

Community

Our free monthly integration circle — and the wider community — walk beside you. Do not integrate in isolation.
