District216 "Death & Psychedelics" Marquee Event



Rev. Dr. Jessica Rochester: 


In an age where plant medicines are paraded like commodities

and sacred sacraments are filtered through the sterile lens of profit and protocol,

there stands a bridge—

woven not from theory,

but from decades of devotion,

grit, and grace.


Rev. Dr. Jessica Rochester is that bridge.


Madrinha. President. Torchbearer.

Founder of Céu do Montréal, the Santo Daime Church she brought into being in 1997—

not as a rebellion,

but as a restoration of sacred memory

to the North.


A transpersonal counselor forged in the crucibles of Assagioli and Grof,

she speaks the languages of the soul and the somatic,

guiding seekers not around, but through the sacred fire of self-confrontation.


She walked the bureaucratic labyrinth from 2000 to 2017,

securing a Section 56 Exemption—

not for fame,

but to protect the sacrament of Santo Daime from the cold fists of the state.


She is an ordained Interfaith Minister,

a Doctor of Divinity,

and an author whose two-volume opus—Ayahuasca Awakening—

is less a book and more a map

for those ready to take off their masks

and meet the jaguar within.


For over four decades she has led workshops,

held private practice,

stood at the crossroads of consciousness and culture,

teaching not how to escape,

but how to embody

the radical act of spiritual adulthood.


And today,

while the psychedelic renaissance sells peak experiences,

Rev. Dr. Jessica Rochester whispers of something older,

quieter,

stronger—


The long walk home.


The humble medicine of self-care,

self-mastery,

and sacred discipline.


So if you came for a keynote speaker,

step aside.

If you came for a true guide

between the seen and unseen,

prepare your heart.


Because the Madrinha is not here to entertain you.

She is here to remind you who you were

before the world told you who to be.
