Our Expectation for Service Leaders:

As a guest speaker for our Sunday services, we hold the profound belief that every individual has the right to choose their spiritual path and deepen their connection to their unique spirit and God. At Two Birds Church, we have dedicated ourselves to fostering spiritual growth, personal awakening, and profound healing through the sacrament of Ayahuasca and other transformative practices.

Our core tenets underscore the critical sacramental nature of Ayahuasca in our religious ceremonies. We believe that Ayahuasca contains a spirit that is part of the whole, and through its sacramental use, we can connect with both our inner and outer selves. We also deeply respect and uphold the fundamental worth and God-given rights of all people, including the right to choose their truths, to freedom, to respect, safety, love, and their unique spiritual path.

As a service leader, we kindly request that you embrace and uphold our non-denominational and inclusive values when crafting and leading our Sunday services. We encourage you to create an environment where people of all backgrounds and beliefs feel welcome and included.

Here are some key expectations for our service leaders:

  1. Inclusivity: Please ensure that your service is inclusive and respectful of diverse cultural heritages and belief systems. Embrace the divine essence within every individual and create a space where all feel a sense of belonging.
  2. Respect and Compassion: Uphold the principles of respect and compassion in your service. Treat all attendees with kindness and understanding, recognizing the inherent worth and rights of every person.
  3. Unity and Harmony: Encourage unity and harmony among our community members. Promote a sense of togetherness and connection, fostering a harmonious environment that reflects our commitment to balance, sustainability, and justice.
  4. Spiritual Growth: Use your platform to inspire spiritual growth, personal awakening, and profound healing. Share insights and practices that align with our mission to help individuals connect with their higher selves and the divinity of the universe.
  5. Non-Denominational Approach: Embrace a non-denominational approach that allows individuals to explore their spiritual paths freely. Avoid exclusive or dogmatic language and teachings, ensuring that your service is open to people of all beliefs.
  6. Encourage Self-Reflection: Encourage attendees to engage in self-reflection and inner exploration, recognizing that the journey toward greater consciousness is a lifelong endeavor.

What to Avoid:

  1. Exclusive Language: Avoid using language that suggests one particular belief system is superior or exclusive. Refrain from making statements that might alienate individuals from different spiritual backgrounds.
    Example to Avoid: “Our path is the only path to spiritual enlightenment.”
  2. Dogmatism: Steer clear of dogmatic teachings or rigid doctrines. Encourage open-mindedness and respect for diverse perspectives.
    Example to Avoid: “You must adhere to these specific beliefs to find salvation.”
  3. Judgment and Criticism: Avoid judgmental or critical statements about individuals or groups with different beliefs. Cultivate an atmosphere of acceptance and understanding.
    Example to Avoid: “People who don’t share our beliefs are misguided.”
  4. Religious Hierarchy: Refrain from promoting the idea that one religion or spiritual practice is inherently superior to others. Emphasize the value of diversity in spiritual exploration.
    Example to Avoid: “Our faith is the highest truth, and others are lesser.”
  5. Excessive Ritual or Ceremony: While rituals can be meaningful, avoid rituals that may be unfamiliar or uncomfortable for attendees from diverse backgrounds. Opt for inclusive and universally meaningful practices.
    Example to Avoid: “We must perform this elaborate ritual to cleanse our souls.”
  6. Overemphasis on a Particular Deity: If you reference deities or spiritual figures, be mindful not to overemphasize one to the exclusion of others. Acknowledge the multifaceted nature of spirituality.
    Example to Avoid: “Our devotion to [specific deity] is the only path to enlightenment.”
  7. Political or Controversial Statements: Avoid making political or controversial statements that might polarize the congregation. Focus on spiritual and unifying themes.
    Example to Avoid: “We must all support [specific political stance] to be true believers.”

By avoiding these pitfalls and cultivating an environment of inclusivity, respect, and open-mindedness, you can help ensure that your service aligns with the non-denominational and inclusive values of Two Birds Church. Your guidance and leadership will contribute to a welcoming and spiritually enriching experience for all attendees.

By leading an appropriate service that embodies these non-denominational and inclusive values, you contribute to our mission of creating a welcoming and spiritually enriching community.
