Community & Care

Community
& care.

Authenticity, inclusivity, and personal freedom guide how we gather, participate, and care for one another.

Belonging

Come as you are.

You are welcome as you are, with your own history, beliefs, questions, and hopes.

People of every background and identity deserve dignity and respect. Our community rejects discrimination and conversion practices. Belonging never requires you to conceal or change who you are, share a particular belief, or take part in a practice you do not choose.

Participation in ayahuasca ceremonies is not a requirement of belonging. Music, sound, reflection, learning, and community offer other ways to connect.

Your participation

Choice, boundaries
& clear information.

Ask questions

Understand what an offering includes, who is involved, and what practical arrangements apply before deciding to participate.

Set boundaries

Discuss your preferences around touch, sound, spiritual language, and what you choose to share. Consent is specific and ongoing.

Respect privacy

Share your own experiences with care. Another person’s identity, story, or photograph is theirs to share or keep private.

Support & scope

Care for the
whole person.

Preparation and integration offer space to explore intentions, reflect on experiences, and consider how they fit into everyday life.

SANTOS provides non-clinical spiritual support. Medical and mental health care remain the responsibility of appropriately qualified professionals.

Reporting concerns

Accountability
matters.

Concerns about boundaries, discrimination, or conduct deserve to be heard. The organization’s Code of Conduct prohibits retaliation for raising a concern in good faith.

A designated board contact for reporting concerns is being arranged. Their name and direct contact details will appear here once confirmed.

This page does not yet provide an independent reporting channel.
