The Church of The Sacred Synthesis is a majority veteran-founded ministry with a core mission to serve the U.S. veteran community, especially in response to the alarming suicide rate—currently averaging 44 lives lost daily, not including VA-assisted overdoses. Our founders view this as a national emergency that demands spiritual intervention.

Co-founders Ian Benouis, Benjamin Moore, and Ryan Begin—all war veterans—have personally experienced profound healing through sacramental entheogens. When this particular Sacrament was discovered, they, alongside fellow co-founder Greg Lake, felt deeply called to offer it to veterans in a safe, sacred, and impactful way.

The Church holds that many physical and mental health struggles among veterans originate from spiritual wounds. War often leaves invisible scars—deeply spiritual in nature—that have been acknowledged by ancient cultures for centuries. By addressing the spiritual plane, we believe transformation can ripple outward into mental and physical healing. Our ongoing work with veteran communities across the U.S., along with growing scientific research, affirms this belief.

From the earliest trials of this Sacrament, veterans played a pivotal role—both as recipients and supporters—helping guide its integration into our Church practices. Many have experienced miraculous shifts and now serve others through ongoing community support.
