Our Spiritual Framework

In our faith, our connections with self, kin, and Earth are sacred. Entheogens are sacraments and teachers that deepen those relationships and help us cultivate reverence, discernment, reciprocity, and belonging.

Sacred Dimensions of Interdependence

These connections shape the way we live, practice, and relate.

Connection Radiates Outward

Our spiritual framework begins with connection to self. A strong relationship with oneself radiates outward into relationship with kin, community, Earth’s ecosystems, and cosmos. As we deepen self-knowledge and inner alignment, we strengthen our capacity for humility, reciprocity, and right relationship within the larger web of life.

Sacramental Practice

Ritual and ceremony give form to that sacred relational life. The sections below describe how these dimensions shape our sacramental practice.

Connection to Self is a sacred practice of honesty, discernment, and inner responsibility. In our faith, entheogens can serve as teachers that deepen self-knowledge and help reveal what is true, unresolved, or ready for transformation.
For some rites, solitary practice can create the privacy needed for an honest encounter with one’s own mind and conscience. Without performance, social pressure, or dependence on another person’s direction, members may find space to clarify values, face grief or fear, reckon with harm and repair, and listen for internal wisdom.
We do not treat solitary sacramental work as a requirement or a badge of seriousness. Members are encouraged to consider their life stage, preparation, and support needs with care. Whether practiced alone or with others, the aim is the same: greater clarity, integrity, and a deeper capacity for right relationship.
Connection to Kin flows from our Tenet of Faith of divine interconnectedness. Entheogenic sacraments can deepen this awareness by softening separation and opening empathy, reciprocity, and responsibility in relationship.
Rituals of kinship help members practice empathy, reciprocity, repair, gratitude, and responsibility in lived relationship. In this work, we also honor the original and ongoing stewards of the lands and waters that sustain us, along with the ancestral lineages who have carried sacramental wisdom through disruption and colonization.
Because this work is relational, Connection to Kin ceremonies require thoughtful preparation to ensure that vulnerability, consent, reciprociand care can be held well. Facilitators may be helpful in some contexts, though spiritual autonomy remains central in discerning the right structure for a rite.
Connection to Earth and Cosmos is central to our faith because we understand ourselves as part of a sacred web of life. Entheogens can deepen attunement to this web, helping members experience belonging, reverence, and responsibility toward the living world.
These ceremonies cultivate reverence, belonging, and responsibility. They help members listen more closely to place, recognize interdependence, and deepen their commitment to reciprocity with the living world.
We also honor the cycle of birth, growth, decay, and rebirth. Some rites mark endings and beginnings. Others return nourishment to the world that nourished us, including burial practices that feed the soil.
