Ayahuasca Community Fellowship

Crucially, ACF’s theology affirms that ayahuasca is used strictly as a sacred communion, not a recreational drug. All ceremonies are conducted with reverence to the plant spirit and in a ritual context led by experienced facilitators.Borrowing from indigenous wisdom, the fellowship believes the “intelligence and wisdom of the plants” guide the healing; facilitators (healers) are merely helpers in this process. The fellowship’s motto, “Healing People to Heal the Planet,” reflects a core belief that individual healing through the ayahuasca sacrament contributes to broader spiritual and ecological healing in the world.Overall, the theological formulation is coherent and sincere: ACF is a legally organized church that venerates ayahuasca as a sacrament given in communion to its members for the purpose of spiritual healing, self-knowledge, and connection with the divine.This clear articulation of belief and practice establishes ACF as a bona fide religious organization rather than a mere retreat center.
