Dragonfly Temple is a non-profit church dedicated to guiding individuals through profound spiritual and personal transformations via personalized, one-on-one bufo ceremonies. We envision a world where everyone can access the life-changing wisdom of bufo, fostering a global community rooted in intuition and joy.
The dragonfly is a powerful symbol in many cultures, representing change, self-realization, new beginnings, joy, intuition, and poise. At Dragonfly Temple, we embrace these symbols as core aspects of our mission and the experiences we offer. Participants can expect to undergo transformative journeys that bring mental and emotional maturity, deeper life understanding, and a renewed sense of joy and purpose.
Dragonfly Temple is a legally recognized, tax-exempt church in Southern California. We are not a clinic or a retreat center; we are a community of faith. Our mission is to provide a religious and spiritual framework for the exploration of consciousness, ensuring every soul who enters our sanctuary is protected by both spiritual devotion and legal integrity.
Shyla is a compassionate guide and rising presence in the world of entheogenic medicine. Born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, she cultivated her artistic roots by attending a performing arts magnet high school, where she studied dance and choreography. By the age of 17, she was teaching at her local dance studio and coaching a competition team, demonstrating her innate ability to inspire and lead.
Her transformative journey began in 2017 when she turned to plant medicine to overcome a profound struggle with addiction. Through sacred medicines, Shyla found the tools she needed to achieve sobriety, reframe her life, and embrace a more positive path like a great phoenix rising from the ashes. The challenges she overcame sparked her passion for psychedelics, shifting her into her authentic self and bringing her deep joy, peace, and fulfillment.
Shyla is devoted to inspiring others to uncover the healer within themselves, particularly those navigating addiction, trauma, depression, or co-dependency. She believes in the fundamental right to explore consciousness as a pathway to healing and personal growth. As an ethical vegan, Shyla envisions a future with less suffering and environmental destruction. She hopes to foster compassion and unity, creating a ripple effect of love and healing throughout the world.
In 2024, Shyla founded Dragonfly Temple to provide a sanctuary for individuals seeking transformation through Bufo ceremonies. Beyond her facilitation work, Shyla brings her passion for wellness into the kitchen. She offers nourishing, plant-based catering for ceremonies and other healing spaces. Her menus, designed with care and attention to allergies and sensitivities, feature fresh, organic options that support physical and spiritual grounding. Most ceremonies conclude with a sacred post-ceremony meal, ensuring participants are nurtured and held throughout their entire journey.
Whether you have journeyed with us or elsewhere, our doors are open for those seeking professional, heart-centered integration. Let us support you in the sacred transition from remembrance to embodiment.
