Question 6

6. What about substances?

Accepted Answer

Our gatherings are rooted in intentional connection, healing, and community. While we are not a strictly sober or dry space, we do hold ceremonies that incorporate plant medicines and alcohol alternatives such as cacao, kava, and tea. These offerings are shared with reverence and care. We welcome participants to bring what feels personally aligned. However, we ask that all forms of consumption—whether ceremonial or recreational—remain mindful, respectful, and safe. If use becomes disruptive or compromises the wellbeing of others, we may step in to preserve the integrity of the space. This is a place for grounded presence, mutual respect, and shared transformation. Please honor the energy of the group, the spirit of the ceremony, and the safety of all who attend.
