Church of The Santo Daime in Ashland, Oregon

Welcome to our salao, or temple.

We are a small spiritual community in Southern Oregon, working together to preserve and continue the traditions of the Santo Daime spiritual path, and to ground Light on Earth while offering and holding a safe space for healing and transformation.

Here’s a short video with one of the leaders of our church, Jonathan Goldman, sharing what the Santo Daime is, where it comes from, and how it works in the areas of spiritual healing and connection to the Divine and one’s self.
