Welcome

Entheo Community brings together spiritual seekers and organizes communities nationwide to further the safe religious exercise with our sacraments, for the benefit of all.

We envision a reality whereby all who are guided to practice with our sacraments are able to do so safely and within their means.

Entheo Community redefines the traditional one-sacrament entheogenic church. We recognize that profound spiritual experiences can arise through various entheogens and consciousness-altering practices including nature immersion, dance, and meditation.

We are a non-profit, faith-based organization (“church” for short). As a syncretic and free church, we are a welcoming and inclusive community that embraces the wisdom and gifts of all faiths. As a private, unincorporated church, we remain independent of political affiliations and government agencies. As Free Children of God, we stand firmly in our First Amendment right to practice our sacraments, regardless of public regulatory status. We honor this freedom with great care, thoughtfulness, and a deep commitment to safety, supported by strong community bonds and mandatory education on best practices.

I. Join as an Individual

Individuals begin by joining the national organization, and then optionally find a local chapter. Member benefits include legal access to sacrament and a variety of ceremonies, educational workshops, talks, social gatherings, and a host of other events nationwide. [Join as an individual]

II. Receive Ordination

• Our Sacrament Carrier ordination covers safe storage, safe use, terminology, legal defense, intentionality, best practices, and more. Each sacrament requires its own ordination. 

• Our Journey Facilitator ordination combines in-depth training and hands-on experience to empower members to create safe, transformative sacrament ceremonies.

III. Become an Ambassador

Community leaders and practitioners around the country are encouraged to become Entheo Community Ambassadors to enable a wider reach for their offerings, and to give their own members a safe and legal way to practice with sacrament. Ambassadors learn how to foster their community with the guidance, tools, and resources of the national organization. In this way we offer an easy and affordable alternative to the prospect of establishing an entirely new church.

IV. Start a Chapter

Ambassadors who wish to become an independent organization have the opportunity to create their own chapter and receive Minister ordination. This offers greater financial control and independence while still benefiting from the protection of the church. 

We believe in the existence of a transcendent and divine presence that is the source of, and is manifest in, all that exists in the physical and nonphysical world. It cannot be named, though we use terms such as God, Source, Creator, Spirit, or Universe to relate to those aspects.

This divine presence unconditionally loves us and guides us toward that which is in greatest alignment with our highest purpose. Listening to and aligning ourselves with this divine guidance brings us great joy and wellbeing.

We believe that divine guidance comes in various ways through our physical and nonphysical senses. We learn to perceive this guidance more deeply and accurately through regular and intentional awareness practice. As we develop our awareness, we receive and understand our divine guidance more clearly.

We believe that the most effective way to cultivate awareness is through sacrament. Our purpose in this practice with sacrament is always to cultivate the most joy and wellbeing possible for ourselves, our families and our communities.

Our sacraments are the practices by which we alter the consciousness or mind in order to achieve a deeper awareness of, and unique perspective on, our true nature. Specifically, these practices are: (1) nature immersion, (2) communion with entheogens and similar substances, and (3) other consciousness-altering modalities such as meditation, music and dance. 

As with any practice, our sacraments are only for those who feel called to them; and we do not attempt to convince anyone of our beliefs or practices. Even those who choose to practice with our sacraments may also choose to stop doing so at any point, just as followers of any tradition or modality may choose to stop when they feel they have outgrown their need for that practice.

However, for those of us who are seeking these practices, they are an essential part of our ability to connect with our highest divine guidance, and we enthusiastically claim and exercise our inherent birthright to explore our consciousness in these ways for as long as we feel called.

Entheo Community is a private unincorporated church and is not affiliated with any political interests. We are a non-profit faith-based organization supported by our members for the benefit of all.
