Our beliefs
Entheogenic sacrament at Hero Church
Hero Church studies entheogenic medicine as a sacred, historical, and emerging field of worship, healing, and direct spiritual experience. We approach the sacred mushroom and other sacred medicines not as recreational substances, but as sacraments that require reverence, preparation, consent, integration, legal responsibility, and cultural humility.
For us, sacrament is not a commodity. It is not a shortcut. It is not a promise of instant healing. Sacrament is a sacred encounter held within prayer, preparation, ethical discipline, community, pastoral care, and integration.
Hero Church believes that entheogenic sacrament can help open a person to humility, awe, repentance, gratitude, forgiveness, self-examination, communion with the Divine, and renewed responsibility toward self, family, community, and creation. We also believe that sacred medicine must be approached with seriousness, honesty, safety, and respect for the cultures and lineages that have carried plant and fungal medicine traditions across generations.
Our sanctuary exists to educate, prepare, and support members who feel called to this path. We draw from peer-reviewed science, religious-studies scholarship, Indigenous reciprocity frameworks, contemplative practice, and evolving legal analysis so our members can understand both the promise and the responsibility of entheogenic medicine.
Hero Church does not frame entheogenic medicine as recreational drug use. We do not encourage casual use, unsafe use, coercive use, or use outside lawful and ethical boundaries. We do not claim that the sacred mushroom or any sacred medicine cures disease, replaces medical care, or guarantees spiritual transformation.
Our path is one of reverence.
We believe sacred medicine belongs inside a larger life of worship, service, preparation, integration, accountability, and love. The medicine is not the whole path. The path is how we live before, during, and after sacred encounter.
What members commit to
Membership is an agreement between the member and the church. In joining, each member commits to:
- Receive the sacrament for their own spiritual practice, and never for resale.
- Keep sacraments within the membership, and never share them with anyone who is not a member.
- Be honest about who they are: every member is 21 or older and confirms it with a photo ID.
- Approach each sacrament with preparation, consent and care for what comes after.
- Hold other members’ privacy as their own.
