SAN FRANCISCO - PennZone -- Rising Phoenix Entheogenic Temple ('Mushroom Church') recently opened its first location on the historic Haight Street. Located at 440 Haight Street, near the corner of Fillmore and Haight, Rising Phoenix is located in one of the most diverse and colorful districts of San Francisco with a rich history associated with social movement, free love, and change.

Rising Phoenix stems from the ZenSana faith, a multifaith earth-based religion that takes inspiration from different parts of the twelve major religions. ZenSana is focused on fixing our damaged planet by creating enlightened mindsets that unlock real and practical solutions for change through prayer, free-thinking, and conversations. The Temple's members come from all walks of life and denominations but share one central set of beliefs and entheogenic sacrament (mushrooms) to help unlock their mind-state for innovative and practical solutions that create lasting change, and help them commune with the divine.

The sacrament at Rising Phoenix includes a range of products including beverages, chocolates, gummies, pills, capsules, fruit stems and caps, tinctures, and teas. Entry is membership based, restricted to 21+ and only persons that demonstrate sincere religious beliefs, and an understanding of the Zensana faith, are admitted as members. To remain a member of the Temple and keep obtaining sacrament, persons must continue to show they have a good faith intention to practice and explore the Zensana religion and spirituality faithfully.

The religious aspect of the experience sits front and center with the Temple's mission, values, beliefs, creed, and communion ceremony displayed on the lobby walls and sacrament section of the Temple. The Temple's staff are as diverse as its members coming from indigenous Native American communities, the LBGTQ community, and ethnic communities that have used entheogenic plants as sacrament and medicine for thousands of years.

As a spokesperson for the Temple explains, "We live in a damaged society riddled with overwhelming problems including income equality, racial disparities, educational disparities, unaffordable healthcare, monumental environmental challenges, and a severe housing and drug crisis. For many of these issues, San Francisco is ground zero. Our members sincerely believe that psilocybin can play an important role in solving these problems, unlocking new mindstates that can be both healing and revealing as they commune with the divine. The use of psilocybin is an important part of the Zensana religion, but our approach to life and solving these problems goes much deeper than the use of the sacrament."
