Hi, I’m Sarah
[I’m currently on a personal journey of book writing. If you’d like to follow along and experience more of my writing, you can Subscribe to my Substack.]
Since I was young I’ve been deeply connected to loss, grief, and sorrow. Not in a morbid way, but simply through sensitivity and empathy. I noticed the suffering in the world and I wanted to correct it.
When I was 15 years old, I found out I was pregnant. And at 16 I chose to give birth to a healthy boy named Samuel. However, I chose to place him for adoption, and his adoptive family and I decided on an open adoption, one where I could be a part of his life. While it all turned out “ok”, it was deeply painful and a profound initiation.
Throughout my life, I lost countless family and friends to death, including both my childhood best friend (more like my brother), and my high school best friend. I was no stranger to this part of life.
After college I found myself working at a job I hated. Despite making great money and being good at my job, I knew I was meant to do more. So I decided to go back to Graduate school for a Master’s in Couples and Family Therapy from the University of Northern Colorado.
Well, “life happens while you’re busy making plans” as my mother would say, and with only 2 classes to finish, I decided to drop out because my husband at the time decided to open a small craft brewery in Denver, Colorado, and I was going to help him run it.
Over the next 5 years, Black Project became one of the most well-known and well-respected breweries in the country. We travelled all around the world selling and serving our beer. It was one of the greatest accomplishments of my life.
Cue mom’s saying again. My husband and I decided to get a divorce, and with it, I had to give up my portion of the brewery. So, I sold my shares and began to explore the realm of psychedelics and spirituality.
Having grown up in a strict Evangelical home, I was no stranger to the idea of God and the Devil, however in my exploration I have come to understand and recognize these notions in a completely new and revitalized way. I’ll never claim to know the “capital ‘T’ TRUTH”, but my understanding of who and what God is has expanded… and with it, so has my own spiritual evolution.
In 2020 I joined a mastermind program called Fit For Service, put together by Aubrey Marcus, and in 2021 I began working for him as a social media coordinator.
From about 2018 - present, I have explored the realm of psychedelics and entheogens, spirituality, esoteric knowledge, inner child healing, masculine / feminine dynamics, energetics, shadowwork, death and grief, Jungian archetypes, past lives, Akashic records, ceremony and rituals, prayer, meditation, breathwork, and more. I have sat in over 100 psychedelic experiences including Ayahuasca, 5MeO-DMT, peyote, ketamine, and large dose psilocybin.
In late 2021 I joined the team at Psychedelic Passage as a tripsitter / ceremony facilitator, and in my time with them I served roughly 70 clients in one-on-one experiences. As a part of my work, I have also helped numerous people successfully taper off of their depression and anxiety medication.

A note from Sarah:
The idea of Love for the People (or L2tP for short) came to me through a vision in an Ayahuasca ceremony in Costa Rica. These visions are not always super clear, and what was once meant to be a platform for two opposing sides (Dem and Republican, black and white) to come together to discuss and understand differences… is now becoming something entirely different. I still don’t know if this will be its final iteration, and I suspect it won’t be. But for now, this is what it is. I hope you are better because of what you find here. <3
