ACF Membership

Ayahuasca Community Fellowship

Sacred Ceremony • Amazonian Basin Elders • Ancestral Traditions

Spirit of The Vine

A Covenant of Shared Walking

Membership in ACF is not a commercial subscription or paywalled club. It is a sacred agreement between seekers, elders, and the land—committed to authentic healing and collective stewardship.

Steps to Join The Fellowship Covenant Apply for Membership

Modern culture reduces belonging to consumer transactions. You pay a fee, you access a service. But visionary plant medicine and genuine emotional recovery cannot be bought or sold.

When someone is released from the isolation of trauma, addiction, or grief through the sacred sacrament, the real work begins outside the ceremonial maloca. We built the Ayahuasca Community Fellowship (ACF) as a container of mutual accountability, ethical care, and lifelong brotherhood and sisterhood. Membership requires your word, your presence, and your willingness to walk in right relationship—not a monthly subscription fee.

How to Become an ACF Member

A thorough, reverent process designed for safety, sincere alignment, and mutual protection.

Eligibility & Alignment

Applicants must be 21 years of age or older and sincerely resonant with our Core Doctrine & Tenets. No prior ceremonial experience is required.

Intake Orientation & Conversation

A compassionate conversation with an ACF facilitator or elder to answer your questions, discuss your intentions, and mutually discern if this sanctuary is the right spiritual home.

Medical Safety Screening & Waiver

Because the sacred brew contains natural MAO inhibitors, every member partaking in sacrament must transparently disclose prescription medications (e.g., SSRIs/SNRIs) and cardiovascular conditions to safeguard the physical vessel.

Signing the Membership Covenant

Affirming your pledge of confidentiality, peer respect, sobriety in the circle, and ethical conduct. Upon review, you receive a formal letter of fellowship welcome.

Sacred Commitment

The ACF Membership Covenant

“Membership in ACF is a sacred covenant, not a transaction.”

1. Shared Faith & Reverence: I affirm Ayahuasca as a sacred sacrament and gift of the Divine, not a casual or recreational drug. I honor the ancient lineages of the Amazon Basin, the sanctity of Mother Earth, and the journey of personal transformation.

2. Mutual Respect & Circle Safety: I commit to treating every brother and sister with compassion, dignity, and care. I will uphold a space strictly free of harassment, exploitation, emotional manipulation, or discrimination.

3. Strict Confidentiality & Trust: What is spoken or experienced in circle stays in circle. I will never share another member's name, vulnerabilities, or personal disclosures outside the container.

4. Absolute Integrity & Truth: I will provide completely honest medical and health disclosures for everyone's safety. I will never divert, sell, or transport the sacrament, nor bring recreational substances to retreats.

5. Ceremonial Discipline: I agree to observe all dietary and behavioral preparations, follow the instructions of facilitators during ceremony, remain within the consecrated space until closed, and take radical responsibility for my inner journey.

6. Community Service & Integration: I recognize that true ceremony happens on Monday morning. I commit to integrating my realizations into grounded service for my family, community, and the wider world.

7. Openness & Graceful Walking: I commit to continuous inner growth. If I ever choose to conclude my membership, I will do so with open communication and grace, holding the fellowship in good regard.
