The personal decision to sit in The Sacred Circle at this time is profound.
We are here to support you every step of the way.
It is our intention to create a decolonizing community around this sacred work, not just a one-time experience.
We are open for all questions & communication.
We are here to guide you before, during, & after this work.
We are a legal church, and all the work described here is for prayer and sacred service.

If money is an issue do let us know. We have contribution plans (paying over time) available.
Because we keep our circle smaller (No more than 9 participants), we are supporting a church space (the home & land we use) & because we are supporting many people from this work, we request the following contribution to keep this ecosystem alive:
$450 - 1500 for the Friday - Sunday Sacred Circle
$450 - If you are home insecure, displaced, or do not have consistent income.
$850 - If you are home secure & you know your next week of meals is taken care of.
$1500 - If you or your family owns land, or you have savings, or generational wealth/ investments.
Includes:
All medicine work
All nourishing meals
Orientation Call before & Integration Call after our circle

3. Orientation Call
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SAT WITH US BEFORE
This part is ONLY FOR 1st timers/ those who have not sat with us before! Even if you have sat in other circles, our work is VERY distinct.
To schedule your call time, please contact us here. You will be speaking with one of The Earth Temple’s Sacred Circle Guardians.
For The Sacred Circle organized groups, we will offer a group ZOOM call, dates to be coordinated with your point person.
4. Church Membership
We are a church, and all of our circles and work with the Plant Teachers is legal, by right of the First Amendment. To maintain this status, we get to have EVERY participant signed up for our church membership, starting July 2020.
Please choose the “Lifetime Membership” for $33 (membership through Water Ways) which you will submit with your application on the site here: TheEarthTemple.com/membership. You only need to sign up for this once.
Once you are part of The Earth Temple Family, you are legally covered with your sacred plant teacher work, as long as you follow the guidelines provided on the membership page.
This is an incredible offer to be able to share with you. We trust that you will respect our standing as a part of a federally recognized church and comport yourself in a sacred way with these magical Plant Teachers.
Your space is reserved
when these four steps are complete.
Hold Your Place Policy:
If you cancel before 33 days before Circle, we will honor your contribution for another date or event. If it is less than that, your spot cannot be filled and the contribution goes towards the unused space.
We all live with the elements.
Fire, ice, snow, rain, floods, earthquakes.
If weather or another catastrophe prevents the entire group from being able to arrive at The Circle, we will honor your contribution for another date or event. If an event only prevents a single participant from attending, contribution goes towards the unused space.
No refunds are given.
Emergencies may be an exception, at facilitator's discretion.
Thank you for understanding.
