COMMUNITY
OF PACK LIFE
Our Mission
Make the strength of community and the healing power of natural medicine accessible to all.
We honor our mission and stay in compliance with local legislation by providing our events and sacraments for free with no expectation of donations.
What We Preach
At our core, we are communal creatures. There is a divinity in the energy created when we come together, united by a common goal of more than survival, to truly live. What we seek is resonance with our kin. A place to cultivate what is innate in our souls: Community.
We reject “thoughts and prayers” as the end of the work. We are fueled by action and change. With that comes an accepted accountability to be a positive force for those around us. We lead with love and understanding, paired with firm boundaries and a strict intolerance of hateful or malicious ideologies.
Sacrament is available to support spiritual and mental wellness, and it is never required. Information and harm-reduction education are available to everyone.
BOOK OF GUIDANCES
Over the past year, we have built something real: something that thrives in the connections we make, the wisdom we share, and the empowerment we foster. Now, we put to paper what it means to be part of this Community.
The Book of Guidances is not a set of rigid laws, nor a fixed doctrine. It is a reflection of who we are, what we value, and how we choose to walk this path together. Rooted in our Universal Truths and the principles of PACK Life, it serves as a guide, not to bind us, but to illuminate the way.
But like all things that live, it will grow. As our Community expands, as our understanding deepens, this book will evolve alongside us. It is meant to be questioned, refined, and enriched by the experiences we carry forward. It is not a destination, it is a beginning, an ongoing conversation, a shared commitment to learning, adapting, and thriving.
What is written here belongs to all of us. It is an offering, an invitation, and a foundation upon which we build something greater together. As we revel, we grow, and as we grow, so does the Book of Guidances.
The Accessibility Edition of the Book of Guidances is designed to make our teachings as easy to read and engage with as possible. This edition is formatted in a dyslexic-friendly font and presented in bullet points, removing unnecessary barriers for those who process information differently.
​
Unlike the standard edition, this version strips away flowery language and poetic structure. Instead, it delivers the same core messages in a clear, direct, and structured format. The goal is clarity over style, ensuring that meaning is never lost in complex phrasing.
​
This edition exists because accessibility matters. Everyone in The Community should be able to explore, reflect, and grow, without struggle. The wisdom we share belongs to all, and this version ensures it remains within reach.
We come together from different backgrounds and experiences but stand united on the foundation of Three Universal Truths. From there, we strive to be a part of a healthy, strong, Communal Experience, and follow the principles of PACK Life.
Universal Truths
The Communal Understandings
There are many things that are undeniable truths in our Universe. Of these, we build our community on the Three that strengthen us the most and allow us the ability to find peace and resolve.
1. Revere The Self
Don't Serve From An Empty Plate
Millions of years lined up to bring your glorious existence into this time and space. We owe no great responsibility to the Universe but to live with authenticity. We Revere the Self by taking care of ourselves physically, mentally, and spiritually.
2. Embrace the Communal Experience
United We Are Powerful
We are social creatures and escape our primitive life through cooperation and compassion. We are meant to come together and embrace one another's Reality to form the Communal Experience. United we are greater than the sum of our parts. Through community all burdens become lighter.
3. The Universe Provides
Stop - Breathe - Listen
The Universe will find balance and we can only act with the tools we have within our grasp. We acknowledge the mysteries of the Universe and accept the responsibility that we must still act and live with purpose. The Universe Provides us the time to find answers - We only have to look.
Values of PACK Life
Protection
In Community, we find protection from the dangers from both the world around us and the dangers within. Our connections with others can support us when we feel frail or wounded, and we can return the kindness when we feel resilient.
​
We let our value of Protection echo:
Passion. Purpose. Power.
