Nevada County · California · 501(c)(3)
Rooted in healing, education, and community-led transformation—advocating for safe, informed, and spiritually grounded access to entheogenic medicines.
Nevada City & BeyondThe NCEA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit collaborating with like-minded nonprofits, spiritual communities, and entheogenic churches on shared campaigns, public education, and legal advocacy. We work alongside statewide and national leaders including the San Francisco Psychedelic Society and Decriminalize Nature.
Our Work
We work directly with city councils, local officials, and civic partners to decriminalize natural entheogens—restoring access to ancestral plant medicines and protecting cognitive liberty as a fundamental right. Our policy work protects users, facilitators, ceremonial guides, and medicine stewards alike.
We provide harm reduction training, public forums, and community integration resources—ensuring that entheogen use is grounded in wisdom, care, and consent. Our goal is to normalize safe practices and community accountability in this emerging space.
We advocate for high-quality standards in plant medicine preparation and facilitation. By promoting integrity, transparency, and care in sourcing and serving, we protect the public and build lasting trust in this sacred work.
Aligned with 508(c)(1)(A) protections, we recognize entheogens as sacred sacraments and support the right to engage with these medicines in spiritual practice, ceremony, and personal transformation—with clear protections for all who steward this work.
We build bridges with local, regional, and national allies to form a united voice for entheogenic freedom. Our work is deeply local and part of a broader cultural movement toward healing, justice, and personal and spiritual sovereignty.
Our Vision
We envision a future where entheogenic medicines are honored with reverence, embraced for their power to heal and awaken, and safeguarded as a sacred right—a cultural evolution from criminalization and stigma toward safety, self-determination, and soul-centered use.
Whether you're a healer, educator, advocate, artist, or simply someone called to the healing power of plant medicine—you belong here. Together, we are shaping a safe, informed, and spiritually aligned future for entheogens in Nevada County and beyond.
