OUR STATEMENT OF BELIEFS

WE BELIEVE that every individual has the potential for spiritual empowerment, transformation, and growth.

WE INTEND to provide for the potential spiritual empowerment, transformation, and growth of human beings through shamanic practice, meditation, and sacred ceremonial use of entheogenic plants.

WE BELIEVE that shamanic practice, meditation, and the sacramental use of natural entheogens as part of sacred religious ceremonies can serve as both teacher and guide and potentially help us to:

• Feel empowered in our lives.

• Connect to Divine Source energy and love.

• Re-discover a state of wonder, beauty, and innocence.

• Connect with our own inner wisdom and love.

• Understand ourselves better.

• Receive insights to make positive changes in our lives.

• Enact personal transformation, growth and evolution.

• Connect with the natural world.

• Re-discover the invisible world.

• See ourselves and the universe in a new way.

• Find our place in the universe.

• Expand consciousness.

WE BELIEVE that the Divine Creator gifted entheogenic plants to all humans, regardless of religion, race, sex, or gender, to connect with Divine Source energy.

WE BELIEVE that shamanic practice, meditation, and the sacrament use of natural entheogens as part of sacred religious ceremonies can induce mystical experiences that can:

• Facilitate direct revelation.

• Bring us closer together through a profoundly heartfelt and palpable understanding of love and the connection among all living and inanimate things in the cosmos.

• Transport us to higher spiritual realms and dimensions where we can communicate with the Divine Creator, spirit guides, power animals, ancestors, and other spiritual beings. This communication can lead to insights and guidance to life’s challenges and questions.

WE BELIEVE that we may gain a heartfelt understanding that Unconditional Love flows through the fabric of all reality, the invisible world, and the entire known and unknown Universe, through shamanic practice, meditation, and the sacramental use of natural entheogens as part of sacred religious ceremonies.

WE BELIEVE that we can form a more intimate connection with and understanding of Nature through shamanic practice, meditation, and the sacramental use of natural entheogens as part of sacred religious ceremonies. These practices return us to a more harmonious relationship with the natural world. It's essential to do what we can to alter our habits to show more reverence for and protect Nature. Sanctuary leaders and members should inspire others to do the same whenever possible.

WE BELIEVE that after death, we go back to the same spiritual world that can be reached through shamanic practice, meditation, and the sacramental use of natural entheogens as part of sacred religious ceremonies. By becoming more familiar with realm, we may transcend the fear of death and dying. Without this fear, we can use our life energy toward loving others and working to improve the world for all beings.

WE BELIEVE that our members have a moral and ethical duty to approach life with compassion, love, calm, and serenity. Our members follow this path in harmony with Divine Creation's universal truths.

WE RESPECT the parts of other religious texts and teaching that are aligned with Divine Creation’s universal truths.
