Church Sacrament Ceremonial Services:

These services occur within a designated space designed to accommodate the members that will be participating. Each service incorporates pieces of the previous month’s church services, deepening their connection to spirit and their inner truth. Members engage in sacramental ceremonies, lasting approximately five (5) hours, and combining all techniques in a journey of release and surrender to love and self-discovery.

These Ceremonial Services involve the Church’s three (3) day retreat.  These retreats occur within a space designed to accommodate approximately twenty (20) people.  Each retreat day is similar to the above weekends, but at a more intensive level including for purposes of discussing and understanding different traditions; participating in prayer/song circles or practicing deeper group meditations.

Ceremonies are led entirely by Two Birds Church facilitators. Driven by sound, song, and smudging, focusing on recognizing and remembering an individual’s highest self – their inner truth and light; surrendering and releasing any traumas, thought patterns or bad habits that prevent an individual from embracing and living a healthy, loving life. The services incorporate sacred dietary practices, asking that all members embrace a strict vegan diet in order to assist with the cleansing of the body and spirit, as well as to become more sensitive and receptive to the nuances of the ceremony.

A key part of the ceremonies, and one designed to enhance the sense of fellowship among participants, is the “vine smash.”  This ceremony, based upon traditional indigenous practices, involves the hammering of raw vine into small pieces.  The entire process is facilitated and supervised by Church      leaders; once the vine is smashed     , all pieces are carefully collected and placed back in a locked storage closet.  The remainder of the preparation for the sacramental tea is handled exclusively by a select number of Church leaders.  Once the sacramental tea is prepared, it is placed in bottles and stored in a locked freezer.  The only time that the sacramental tea is removed from the freezer is on ceremony days.  Any leftover tea is refrozen to be used at a later ceremony.  The tea is removed from the ceremony space immediately following each ceremony, and restored to its secured, locked area.

Two Birds offers a variety of different church services to accommodate the ever-changing needs of its individual members and where each one is along their spiritual journey.  Due to members being spread all over the country, Two Birds offers some services online through video calls allowing for members that can’t attend in person to still be able to participate in group discussions or meditations.

Akin to many religions, members coming to Two Birds may possess little, if any, prior deep experience with religion.  Accordingly, for these individuals the concepts and growth to be experienced can present challenges.  Eventually, it is anticipated that the members will come to connect with feelings of community and universal love.

Sunday Services:

Two Birds’ sunday services take place from 3-5pm each week, the membership convenes at a church leader’s home, outdoors, or in a rented space that can accommodate the requirements of the activities. Activities for this service offered vary from month to month. The focus is on learning and sharing through group meditation, Cacao circles, drum/music circles or connecting through the body with dance, yoga, or breathing exercise. These services are focused on group participation and intention. They are led by one of Two Birds’ Church leaders. These designated leaders are responsible for preparing the intentions and service activities for the day, and in leading the group prayers and discussions.

Community Outreach Services:

Two Birds offers Community Outreach services in the Dallas-Fort Worth area such as volunteering at a variety of local shelters, feeding the homeless, clothing/food drives, supported activities for nursing homes, or offering help to different members of the church if needed. Two Birds and its members believe that one of the biggest parts of any foundation is community. In this way, Two Birds and its members are able to integrate their spiritual practices through the belief that in helping the greater community they are helping themselves. This is a great way for Two Birds and its members to not only connect with the local community but with each other as well, bringing their inner truth and light to the benefit of all.

Further, these services are designed to assist our members in adapting to Church practices, and to facilitating meditations into member daily practices.  The weekend is led by a different, monthly Church facilitator.  Whereas prayer involves speaking to the Great Spirit or to a person’s higher self, meditation is learning to listen.  Two Birds believes in its members listening to their individual, inner voices as an important part of a healthy relationship with life.  The focus is on learning and sharing in mediation practices or focusing through the body with techniques such as yoga or Reiki.  For some members this service serves as their introduction to such concepts.  Two Birds accommodates these introductory learners, and adopts a slow pace designed to allow for beginners to blend in and go at a pace that benefits the group.

The Two Birds forming the basis for the Church’s name, stems from a South American healing prophecy. The background story behind the “Two Birds,” – The Eagle and The Condor – stems from an oral tradition shared among many indigenous tribes throughout North and South America.  The Eagle and The Condor are intended to signify differing dualities:  first, they signify the dualities of the Indigenous Nations of both North America and, separately, South America.  Further, the two birds are intended to signify the impact of European colonization of the Americas, and the displacement and havoc wreaked upon those Indigenous Nations.  This is a religious prophecy of future events; a prophecy disseminated along tribal trade routes, originating in South America’s Amazonia rainforest all the way – ultimately – as far north as Canada.  The story – which varies depending upon the tribal nation – contains the same underlying themes and messages.

• The Eagle represents the North. Not just North America and the people who live here, but the entire Northern Hemisphere. The Condor represents the Southern Hemisphere. As an archetype, the Condor is the yin, feminine, passion, intuition, the shadow, the heart.  The Eagle is the yang, masculine, ambition, intelligence, invention, curiosity and progress. Together, both Condor and Eagle comprise the duality at the center of the Two Birds faith.
• It was said that The Eagle and the Condor are synonymous with the two paths available to humanity. As individuals, as groups, people on the path of the Eagle would develop their intellect, and people on the path of the Condor would develop their connection to the Earth. These two spirits shared the skies peacefully for a long time, going their own ways and flying their own paths.  The Prophecy foretells of a clash, that the Eagle would turn on the Condor, and that – for five-hundred (500) years there would be such an imbalance of power that the Condor people would be driven nearly to extinction.
• This imbalance was expected to occur at the approximate point of European colonization – in 1492, with the arrival of Extreme Eagle people from Europe.  This arrival would (and did) drive the Spirit of the Condor into hiding, deep into the jungles of the South.  Indeed, this period did mark the beginning of a new reign over North and South American continents. Dominance over land and resources, slavery and genocide, greed and industrialization transformed the modern Americas into its present-day form.
• The Extreme Eagle Mind has come to rule the world, with catastrophic consequences for all life on Earth.
• Five-hundred (500) years have passed      since the arrival of The Eagle – marking the end of its reign, signaling the      beginning of a new phase, and the opportunity for The Condor to rise again.  It is prophesied      that this new beginning would not be in retaliation – not in revenge, but signify the coming together of The Eagle and The Condor into harmony, to fly together under the same skies.  This harmony also provides an opportunity for a coalescence of the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine, an opportunity for an entirely new kind of people who embrace both the Heart and the Mind.  It constitutes a chance for the People of the North and the People of the South to join together and envision a new way, a new level of consciousness which can simultaneously honor the Earth and human progress.
• The prophecy does not guarantee this new, harmonious outcome.  Rather, it only reveals the opportunity for such an evolution of existence to occur.
• Two Birds unites the healing medicines of the South as sacraments to the Eagle peoples of the North, thus inviting that unification of the Eagle and Condor spirits to occur within individuals, who can go on to live in greater harmony, and help usher in a more balanced version of humanity.
• In other words, there are two dualities – external and internal to the faith.  One is the duality of North and South; the other is the duality of the self – the male and the female.  Both dualities are expressed by the Church through The Eagle and The Condor as one essence – the yin and the yang through which harmony of the soul – and of the world – is achieved.

Two Birds is a non-denominational church. We offer a religious community underscored by acceptance, guidance, and new ways of recognizing spirituality and self.  It is a faith-based institution supportive of each member’s personal, spiritual journey and awakening.

Two Birds offers Sunday Church services, community camping events and outreach projects, prayer/song circles, and monthly member ceremonies to help deepen your connection to the Great Spirit on a personal level in a safe supportive space.  A core belief of Two Birds is that inside of everybody is the potential to connect with the Great Spirit.  Two Birds and its adherents believe that all humans are relations to one another, and are children of the same higher, greater Being – the Great Spirit, God.  All beings are all meant to shine, as children do.  Humans are born to make manifest the glory of the Great Spirit, who exists within every individual. The Great Spirit is embodied within all beings, allowing for each person to discover their personal, unique truths and thus become empowered.  In doing so, in allowing for each individual to capture their own light and to shine, this light serves to shine on others, inspiring them and allowing them to embrace their own inner light.

Two Birds Church professes the following beliefs as fundamental tenets to its religious faith:

• A core belief that inside of everybody is the potential to connect with the Great Spirit.  All people are all relations, one to another, and everyone is a child stemming from a single, common source.  All people shine, as children shine.  This inner light is possessed by every being; as a person discovers their personal truths and stands in their inner power, that person’s light is emitted onto others, acting as a catalyst for positive, moral change in the world.
• A core belief in the coalescence of the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine (The Eagle & The Condor), as an embrace of both the Heart and the Mind. Through both The Eagle and The Condor, a human identifies and experiences the balance which makes someone stronger and more connected.  Both aspects are critical parts of Two Birds faith, its ceremonial practices, its gatherings.  Consistent with this belief, the Church is led by people of both genders.
• A core belief in the unity of all, with no discrimination based upon race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, sexual orientation or affectional preference, or gender identity.  Underlying this solemn belief is the understanding that all people are born perfect and are intended to find happiness by being their true selves with neither judgment nor condemnation.
• A core belief in the path of inner wisdom through experience.  This wisdom is achieved through experiences, rather than simply being told how or what to believe in.  Two Birds teaches that individuals stand in their own power, rather than relinquishing such power to gurus or sacrificing individual power to the acquiring of material wealth.  Truth is found inward, not from the external.
• The core belief that inherent truths can be ascertained from many teachings. Two Birds does not adopt one set of teachers, but instead encourages its members to seek inherent, eternal truths from the insights found in all cultures and teachings.  Likewise, Two Birds believes that spirituality and healing is not merely a linear process, i.e., no one path fits everyone’s search for their inner light – their spiritual truth.  Accordingly, Two Birds and its members are open and receptive to each member identifying and embracing their own, individual spiritual path.
• The core belief that caring for the full body, mind and spirit are part and parcel with spiritual practices.  Consistent with this belief, Two Birds encourages dietary care, physical care (such as the engaging in yoga and physical exercise), and meditation to assist our members with finding balance.  Through balance, each individual can live healthy, fulfilling lives, and thus come closer to identifying their inner light.
• The core belief that an individual finds their inner light, their spiritual truths through selfless endeavors – by giving back to communities. Part of living spiritual truths is through the pursuit of charitable activities and services.
• The embrace of basic moral tenets for all members.  These include, but are not limited to, respecting the physical and mental health of others.  Two Birds spurns violence of any kind, and does not tolerate sexual misconduct, other predatory behavior, theft, or intolerance.
