Plant Medicine & Shamanism

Plant medicine.
Spiritual practice.
Belonging.

Founded in November 2024, Santos & The Crystal Visions is an independent spiritual organization rooted in plant-medicine practice, healing, education, and service. Authenticity, inclusivity, and personal freedom guide our community.

Our mission

A more loving,
conscious world.

Our mission is to create a community where people who have experienced exclusion can find belonging, and where trauma survivors and people living with PTSD are met with dignity, compassion, and respect for their own agency. Through spiritual practice, education, and service, we support each person’s search for meaning, connection, and purpose.

Its spiritual life brings together astrology, plant-medicine traditions, Reiki, sound, breathwork, Tarot, and spiritual coaching. Each offers a different way to explore meaning, connection, and personal transformation.

Santos & The Crystal Visions is queer-led and LGBTQ+-affirming, welcoming people of every sexual orientation, gender identity, and spiritual background. No one is expected to change or conceal who they are to belong.

Our spiritual framework

The Medicine
of the Cosmos

The Sacred Laws of the Universe

SANTOS’s personal framework connects celestial symbolism, ancestral teachings, and spiritual practice. It is an invitation to explore the relationship between inner life, the natural world, and a sense of the sacred.

The foundations

Study, ancestry
& lived experience.

The organization reflects SANTOS’s work as a master astrologer, certified Reiki Master in the Usui lineage, and certified Breathwork instructor, alongside his training in Shipibo ayahuasca practices in Peru.

Tarot also has a personal, ancestral place in his life. His great-grandmother was a healer and Tarot reader who practiced in Spain during the Spanish Civil War. She shared her knowledge with him throughout the first eleven years of his life.

These influences inform an independent practice. SANTOS acknowledges the cultural origins of his training without presenting the organization as affiliated with or endorsed by his former teachers or the Shipibo community.

“The heavens are my passion, helping people is my promise, and healing is my offering.”

SANTOS
Our values in practice

Individual paths.
Shared values.

Healing

Spiritual practices create space for reflection, connection, and personal meaning. Participation is shaped around the individual, with respect for consent and choice.

Education

Astrology, Tarot, Reiki, and other teachings offer opportunities to study, ask questions, and develop a personal spiritual practice. Astrology is a symbolic tool for reflection.

Service

The organization’s mission is grounded in care for others, respect for difference, and a commitment to bringing its values into everyday life.

Scripture

The Ayahuasca
Manifesto.

Santos & The Crystal Visions regards the Ayahuasca Manifesto as scripture. This anonymous text holds a place in the organization’s spiritual life alongside its own Statement of Faith and teachings.

We approach it through study, reflection, and discernment, grounded in our commitment to dignity, consent, inclusivity, and freedom of conscience.

Belonging

One community.
Individual paths.

Participation in ayahuasca ceremonies is never required to belong to our community.

Roots & devotion

A spiritual life shaped
by study and practice.

Catholic roots

My Catholic roots remain a living part of my spiritual practice. I have a deep love of God, follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, and pray regularly to the Virgin Mary. Prayer, compassion, and service continue to guide how I live and care for others.

Study with the Shipibo

My studies with Shipibo teachers in Peru inform my relationship with song, plants, and ceremony. I acknowledge those origins while practicing independently today.

Mantra & meditation

My spiritual life includes meditation and Hindu mantra, with a particular devotion to Vishnu. I love learning about spirituality and continue to study ascended masters and benevolent spiritual deities, integrating what resonates into my personal practice and work. I also explore the connections among Kabbalah, astrology, and Tarot as languages of contemplation, symbolism, and spiritual understanding.
