Ele Jones

Ele (they/them) is an educator, ceremonialist, and artist dedicated to supporting creativity, healing, and anti-oppression work within individuals and communities. After nearly a decade of living nomadically and working in ceremonial spaces with entheogenic medicines, they found their way to the transformative practice of psychedelic peer support.

With a background in the arts and community building, Ele honors the intersection of ritual and creative expression as ancient technologies for evolution. They value the playground that festivals and events provide for people to explore non-ordinary states of consciousness, self expression and expansion. They are passionate about harm reduction, drug education/safer drug use, and cultivating sanctuary spaces rooted in safety, inclusion and belonging.

Ele is deeply committed to collective liberation and holds this lens in all the work they do. They are a founding member of the Pulse initiative at the Zendo Project, which supports the well-being of the volunteer community. They also contributed to curriculum development around diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion for the Zendo SIT course, and continue to explore culture-building practices that make psychedelic peer support safer and more inclusive for all people.

They currently live in Northern California’s East Bay, on the ancestral and unceded lands of the Huchiun Ohlone people, whose descendants include members of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe.
