The Mushroom Church
The Mission of The Ministry is to bring people together for healing and connection to divine revelation through communion with sacred mushrooms. Read more about our vision and mission here.
Psanctuary, a 508(c)(1)(A) faith-based organization, is a Constitutional Church. It is our sincere belief that the consumption of psilocybin-containing mushrooms is a communion which brings us closer to what is commonly called God, We understand this concept as pure consciousness, which permeates all being. This pure consciousness is, we believe the Ineffable Source of Creation and the origin of health and well-being. Psanctuary is a grounded, nature centered, non-dogmatic, non-hierarchical faith based organization.
Our faith in sacred mushrooms stems from pre-historical use by our ancestors and personal experiences of our modern members. It is our belief that psilocybin containing mushrooms are one of the greatest sacraments that Nature offers, raising our awareness so that we can access a direct connection to the Source of Life.
Our community consists of families and individuals from all walks of life and is open to individuals from any faith or background. We are an inclusive community recognizing only one race of humans and one life force that manifests in a multitude of forms and appearances
spiritual Sovereignty
Sovereignty- self-directing freedom and especially moral independence
Our beliefs and practices are founded in our spiritual sovereignty. It is our God given right to commune with our sacrament, however our belief in autonomy does not end there.
In addition to sacramental services, Psanctuary is committed to providing its members with the tools they need to heal themselves, in turn, healing the world.
Psanctuary currently offers in person and virtual workshops, circles, and events. Our weekly in person offerings are primarily held in Louisville, KY and are generally open to the public. Our weekly virtual offerings are led by ministers for our community of members and non-members alike.
As Psanctuary continues to grow, we will expand our offerings, such as:
- Breath work sessions
- Qigong classes
- Gardening workshops
- Book clubs
- Integration circles
- Mushroom foraging walks
- Nutrition and cooking workshops
- So much more!
All of this is in an effort to help our members embody the sovereignty that all humans intrinsically seek. We can only become free through discipline, and through the discipline of self-development, we want to help you be free.
and through the discipline of self-development, we want to help you be free.
Decentralizati0n
Decentralization- the dispersion or distribution of functions and powers
From our food supply to our monetary system, centralized, top-down models are failing us. We are in need of decentralized solutions. In the effort to move towards this kind of health centered, faith based, socially active organization, we are organized as a non-hierarchical organization.
We follow a delegatory decentralization model whereby the responsibilities and accountability of members and locations will be delegated by the By-Laws, Code of Ethics and Operational Guidelines. These are living documents that help guide our organization towards an ever expanding vision of spiritual and personal growth through engaging with our sacrament.
Our Board of Directors will be reviewed annually, adding new members and retiring older members as necessary. Like our guiding documents, our Board will be a fluid organization that allows for a multitude of perspectives. It is our faith and practice at Psanctuary that individuals from a variety of cultures and lifestyles can come together to create a non-hierarchical community.
Moving towards resource decentralization, our locations seek to include community service projects such as:
- Accepting a variety of currencies
- Sustainable mushroom and vegetable farms
- Forest preservation programs
- Political representation (As a 508 org Psanctuary can be both politically and religiously active)
- Use of alternative sources of energy and building construction and more
