Welcome to Sacred Plant Alliance on Substack

Opening a window into years of experience and collaboration

We’re glad you’ve found us here.

For many years, Sacred Plant Alliance has been a place where churches come together to support one another in practicing with integrity. Our members represent some of the most experienced sacramental communities in the United States. Together, we hold ourselves accountable to ethical and safety standards, share collective wisdom, and advocate for the right to practice our religions freely.

We’ve heard from many people asking for greater access to the insights that have arisen from this collaboration. This Substack is intended as a window into the conversations and commitments that guide our work—so that wisdom doesn’t just stay within our circle, but can support the broader community as well.

Here, you’ll find:

• Honest answers from experienced leaders in our monthly Ask a Member column

• Collectively written guidances on ethics, health, and safety

• Updates on legal developments and advocacy efforts

• Reflections on accountability and what ethical leadership looks like in practice

• News about SPA’s programs and ways to connect

We’re sharing this now because we believe safer, ethical practice is not optional—it’s essential. And the more openly we can talk about it, the stronger our communities will be.

Thanks for being here at the beginning. We’re excited to see where this journey takes us together.

With gratitude,
The Sacred Plant Alliance team
