statement of beliefs

We Believe that healing is a human right, and that connection and community is the intrinsic medicine. We believe that when we gather in truth and love, miracles happen. Together, through reverence, creativity, and care, we awaken the Power of One across the world— first starting with ourselves and our own communities.

— Our Mission

To ensure that all those who seek spiritual growth and community based upon indigenous wisdom have access to affordable, safe, ethical, protected and transformative ceremonial and retreat experiences led by qualified and experienced facilitators and practitioners.

— Our Vision

To cultivate a global ecosystem of transformation, connection, and conscious community where practitioners, facilitators, and individuals thrive in unity through ceremony, education, and support.

— Our Goal

We envision a future where the opportunity for spiritual transformation through the ethical and honored use of sacred medicines is available to all who seek it, and the spiritual evolution of individuals fuels a more conscious, compassionate world.

We Facilitate Safe Healing Spaces

Power of One Sanctuary (Po1) is an entheogenic church organized as a 501(c)(3) Texas nonprofit corporation in 2024.

At Power of One, we believe that individual spiritual exploration—when done with integrity, safety, and respect—has the power to transform not only individual lives but entire communities and the world.

Yet access to providing safe, ethical, and supportive experiences remains limited, exclusive, and potentially exploitative. Power of One exists to bridge this gap—honoring tradition, expanding access, and fostering responsible, inclusive pathways to healing and growth.

Through our work, we are creating a ripple effect: Practitioners and facilitators are supported. Transformational experiences are thoughtfully resourced and held to the highest standards of safety and ethics. Individuals are empowered to heal, grow, and reconnect with their purpose in spaces designed for trust and transformation. Indigenous traditions are honored and protected, not appropriated.

And ultimately, through the Power of One, we move toward greater unity—within ourselves, our communities, and our connection to Source.

Statement of Beliefs

WE INTEND to provide for the transformation and evolution of human beings seeking enlightenment in communion with the Divine Creator through the ceremonial and sacred use of natural entheogens.

OUR PURPOSE is to promote the transformation and evolution of beings who seek enlightenment by communing with the Divine Creator.  In order to effectuate our purpose, we shall organize retreats and sacred ceremonies related to the expansion of consciousness through the sacramental consumption of natural entheogens, in addition to other guided relaxation and expansion practices of ancestral consciousness.

WE BELIEVE that natural entheogens were manifested through the Divine Creator in order for all humans, regardless of religion, race, sex, or gender, to facilitate communion with the Divine Creator.

WE BELIEVE through the ceremonial and sacred use of natural entheogens our members are able to access their divinity from within.

WE BELIEVE that many of our experiences has shown us that the sacramental use of natural entheogens within an appropriate spiritual context, far from being a dissociative experience for the mind and detrimental to the health of the individual or of society, is, on the contrary, an activity beneficial for the expansion of consciousness, and in turn, positive for the purposes of our individual spiritual quests.

WE BELIEVE our love and connection to all things is enhanced and better understood through the sacramental consumption of natural entheogens.  More specifically, sacramental consumption of natural entheogens often evokes mystical experiences, which takes us to higher spiritual realms/dimensions where we interact with the Divine Creator and other spiritual entities.  This higher spiritual realm can become more accessible for humans through the sacramental use of natural entheogens.

WE BELIEVE that through mystical experiences, we seek and receive answers and guidance to specific and ultimate life questions.  Additionally, we believe that mystical experiences, induced by the sacramental consumption of natural entheogens, unite us through love, understanding, and greater connectivity to other beings in the universe.

WE BELIEVE the overarching message we receive from the Divine Creator, through the sacramental consumption of natural entheogens, is that unconditional love is one of the most  powerful forces in the universe and is the nature and essence of the Divine Creator.

WE BELIEVE that the sacramental use of natural entheogens teach us and empowers us to become more in tune and/or more related to mother nature.  More specifically, we believe that the sacramental use of natural entheogens restores us to a more symbiotic relationship with nature.  As such, we believe that, to the best of our ability and as practicable, we are to conduct ourselves in such a way as to respect and preserve Mother Nature and encourage others to do the same when feasible.

WE BELIEVE and we are aware that the sacramental use of natural entheogens is a very ancient practice, perhaps dating back to more than 100,000 years ago.  To the best of our ability, we adopt and implement these ancient and sacred practices and ceremonies to be consistent and honor the ancestors.

WE BELIEVE that at death, our spirits return to the same realm accessed through the sacramental use of natural entheogens.

WE BELIEVE that by engaging in the sacramental use of natural entheogens and entering higher levels of consciousness and higher spiritual realms, we become comfortable in the spiritual realm, thereby allowing us to overcome our fear of death.  By overcoming layers of fear and/or anxiety relating to death, we are better able to focus our efforts on loving other beings and making the universe a better place for all living beings.

WE BELIEVE that, at all times, our members have a moral and ethical obligation to approach every life situation from a place of peace, love, and understanding and in a manner consistent with the general and individual messages innately present within the Divine Creation and the spiritual realm.

WE BELIEVE that other religious texts and teachings, insofar as they are consistent with the Divine Creator and the spiritual realm, provide guidance for how we should live our lives and in how we should love and be tolerant of other beings.

PO1 believes in the sacred truth that all beings are interconnected and one with Source. PO1 exists to protect that truth and to hold space for healing, growth, unity, and peace. Together, we cultivate a safe, inclusive environment rooted in honesty, nourishment, nature, and spiritual integrity.
