We are a religious organization dedicated to the sincere practice of our faith, in which ayahuasca serves as our central sacrament. Our ceremonies are sacred gatherings focused on spiritual connection, healing, personal growth, and communion with the divine. We operate as a church, not a commercial retreat center.

Yes, safety is our top priority. Every ceremony is led by experienced facilitators who prioritize safety, consent, and integration. We follow best practices by preparing participants beforehand, offering post-ceremony integration, and having emergency protocols in place. Our facilitators are trained to handle unexpected situations calmly and effectively to ensure participants feel safe and supported throughout their journey. When used respectfully in a controlled religious setting with proper screening and preparation, ayahuasca has a strong safety profile for most healthy adults. However, it is a powerful sacrament and not suitable for everyone. Risks are greatly reduced through our medical screening, dietary guidelines, and experienced facilitation. We take safety seriously and maintain protocols for support during and after ceremonies. No substance is without risk—honest communication about your health is essential.

The sacred sacraments 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.

In line with the Supreme Court's recognition of religious freedoms regarding ayahuasca, Sacred Vine Church asserts its right to use this sacrament in religious ceremonies as a core part of our spiritual tradition.

We welcome all adults who feel a genuine spiritual calling to our path. Participation requires completing our membership process, including a medical screening form, health questionnaire, and orientation. We prioritize safety and spiritual sincerity. Certain medical or psychological conditions may prevent participation—we review every application individually.

Integration is a vital part of the journey. After the ceremony, we offer integration circles and one-on-one support to help participants process their experiences. Facilitators provide tools and resources for reflection, journaling, and community discussions. We encourage participants to attend these sessions to reinforce personal growth and deepen spiritual connections.

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.

For the safety and integrity of the ceremonial process, participants are required to remain within the ceremony grounds until its completion once given the sacrament. 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.

Not at all. Sacred Vine Church welcomes individuals from all spiritual paths and backgrounds. We believe that spiritual growth is personal and sacred, and we honor the diversity of every individual’s journey. Our church is inclusive and supportive, providing a space where all participants can explore their potential in alignment with their unique nature.

We ask all participants to treat the space, the medicine, facilitators, and fellow members with respect. This includes confidentiality of others’ experiences. Absolutely NO recording during ceremonies. Full guidelines are provided during orientation.
