Since 2010, he has served as the host of the acclaimed EntheoRadio podcast, which delves into Psychedelic Science, Shamanism, and Altered States of Consciousness. Through this platform, he has interviewed leading experts and shared insights into the transformative power of entheogens and holistic practices.

Rev. Hughes’ expertise spans a broad spectrum of disciplines, including herbalism, Western and Eastern alchemy, metaphysics, comparative religion, tantra, and global shamanic traditions. His passion lies in exploring the depths of human consciousness and fostering community healing. As a ceremonialist, he integrates a variety of sacred sacraments, including Magic Mushrooms, Mescaline Cactus, Sonoran Desert Toad (5-MeO-DMT), and Salvia Divinorum, into rituals aimed at trauma resolution and spiritual growth.

For the past eight years, Trevar has also studied and practiced the dreaming techniques of the Toltec tradition, a lineage rooted in the teachings of sorcery and the Nagual. His work incorporates principles from “The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz, guiding individuals toward greater self-awareness and personal transformation. These practices, centered on the art of dreaming, allow participants to access profound states of awareness and navigate the subconscious for healing and spiritual growth.

His workshops and retreats provide a safe space for individuals to explore altered states, achieve personal transformation, and reconnect with nature. His dedication to community leadership is evident in his efforts to create inclusive and supportive environments for participants, ensuring both spiritual and psychological integration.

Rev. Hughes’ herbal and ethnopharmacological expertise extends beyond entheogenic psychedelics to include onierogens—plants and compounds that enhance dreaming—as well as aphrodisiacs. His deep understanding of these areas enriches his teachings and offers participants a diverse range of tools for exploring consciousness and enhancing their quality of life.

Rev. Hughes’ unique approach is informed by his deep understanding of ancient and modern practices. His work is characterized by a balance of science and spirituality, offering a comprehensive perspective on the potential of entheogens to catalyze profound healing and self-discovery.
