The sacred sacraments are a holy gift from Pachamama, the Earth Mother, and serve as a tool to foster deeper spiritual connection, personal growth, and transformation. They help participants align with the Creator, release limiting beliefs, and celebrate life as a sacred journey. The sacraments are used with reverence in religious ceremonies, following structured guidance from experienced facilitators to ensure meaningful experiences.

Discontinue dairy products and carbonated drinks. Avoid stimulants like coffee and energy drinks. CEREMONY DAY: Hydrate well throughout the day.

Hypertension medications must be stopped at least two weeks prior. Inform facilitators of any medications you have taken recently.

Participants must disclose medical conditions confidentially to facilitators during pre-screening to ensure eligibility and safety. MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL PREPARATION: Set a clear intention for the ceremony. Reflect on what you want to release or invite into your life, while letting go of expectations about how these intentions will unfold. Engage in calming activities like journaling, yoga, Qi Gong, or meditation to center yourself. Avoid situations or activities that create stress or negative emotions before the ceremony (e.g., arguments, consuming the news, or busy public spaces).

After the ceremony, you may sleep overnight in the space if needed. If you choose to leave, ensure you are grounded and arrange safe transportation home. PREPARING SPIRITUALLY FOR THE SACRAMENT EXPERIENCE: Present your intention to your higher self and the sacrament. Focus on what you hope to release, cultivate, or discover, and remain open to whatever unfolds. Pray for yourself and others, cultivating humility and receptivity. Prepare to let go—release expectations and embrace the possibilities that arise during the ceremony.

Yes, participation in ceremonies involving sacred plant sacraments requires full participation, including consumption of the sacrament, as it is a core part of the religious ritual. These sacraments—gifts from Pachamama, the Earth Mother—are used intentionally and with reverence to foster spiritual connection, personal growth, and alignment with our divine purpose. However, you are not required to consume the sacrament to be a member of 963 Tribe Church. Membership extends beyond sacrament ceremonies, and we offer a variety of community events, integration circles, and social gatherings throughout the month for those who wish to engage with our church community without participating in ceremonies. Our facilitators ensure a safe, supportive environment for those attending ceremonies, and we prioritize preparation, consent, and post-ceremony integration for all participants. If you have medical concerns, we recommend consulting with a healthcare professional before participating.

If your plans change and you are unable to attend, your donation may be applied toward a future ceremony, subject to availability. To help us plan accordingly, please notify us as soon as possible so we can offer support and make necessary arrangements. It’s important to note that donations are voluntary contributions to support the preparation and facilitation of our ceremonies, the upkeep of our sacred space, and our ongoing church initiatives. Donations are not payments for goods, services, or sacraments. As such, all donations are non-refundable. This policy ensures that the financial support we receive directly serves the community and sustains the sacred intent of our work. If rescheduling becomes difficult, our facilitators will be happy to discuss other ways for you to engage with the community, such as through integration circles or community events offered throughout the month.

Some medications or health conditions may be contraindicated with the use of earth sacraments. It is essential to disclose any medical history to our facilitators confidentially and consult with your healthcare provider before participating. If a condition or medication presents a risk, we may recommend alternative ways for you to engage with the community and spiritual practice.

Participants are required to sign liability waivers before attending a ceremony. This waiver clarifies that participation is voluntary and at the participant’s own risk. While 963 Tribe Church operates under RFRA protections and the 508(c)(1)(A) designation, these protections extend to the church's religious activities. Participants are encouraged to engage in ceremonies with good faith and spiritual intent. It is important to note that personal legal protection is not guaranteed, as the use of plant sacraments is subject to evolving legal frameworks. We operate transparently and within RFRA guidelines to protect our practices, but participants assume personal responsibility for their participation.

We operate as a 501(c)(3) religious non-profit organization under the 508(c)(1)(A) provision, protected by the First Amendment and adhering to the guidelines established by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). To ensure compliance, we strictly use sacred plant sacraments within the context of religious ceremonies. Accurate records are maintained for all ceremonies, including participant attendance and sacrament usage. Sacraments are never used recreationally or outside ceremonial settings, preserving their sacred and spiritual purpose. These practices affirm the sincerity of our religious activities, providing legal protection while prioritizing the safety and well-being of our participants and community.

Our facilitators are experienced guides who create a safe, sacred environment for all participants. They prioritize safety, consent, and integration, ensuring that each person feels supported before, during, and after the ceremony. Facilitators provide guidance throughout the ceremonies to help participants navigate challenges and make the most of their journey. They hold the energy of the sacred spaces we navigate and call in the plants to help us illuminate our path.

Each ceremony is unique, and experiences vary from participant to participant. You may encounter insights, emotional releases, or profound moments of connection with the Divine, yourself, and others. Our ceremonies are conducted in a structured, respectful manner with periods for reflection, music, and guided meditation. Facilitators and guardians are available throughout the process to offer support as needed.

We are proud to maintain a 100% safety record at 963 Tribe Church and are committed to keeping it that way. We follow strict safety protocols, including: Pre-screening participants for health conditions. Emergency protocols and trained facilitators on-site. Requiring participants to consult healthcare professionals beforehand regarding any health-related questions or concerns. Providing integration support after ceremonies. Our goal is to ensure a safe and supportive environment where tribe members can engage meaningfully with their spiritual journey.

For the safety and integrity of the ceremonial process, participants are required to remain within the ceremony grounds until its completion. This ensures that facilitators can provide proper support and that participants are not left vulnerable during emotionally or spiritually intense moments. Our ceremonies are held within a sacred container, and the uninterrupted flow is essential to maintain the spiritual intention and safety of everyone involved. If you feel the need to step away or take a break, a facilitator or guardian will accompany you to a calm area outside the ceremonial space where you can ground yourself and reflect. In case of an emergency, we have protocols in place to ensure immediate care, including access to medical assistance if necessary. This approach ensures that participants have continuous support throughout the ceremony without compromising their well-being or the experience of others. Our primary goal is to create a safe, structured environment that allows for meaningful engagement with the sacred sacrament. Facilitators will guide you every step of the way, and post-ceremony integration support is available to help you reflect and anchor your experience meaningfully.
