WHY A CHURCH?
The most common question we receive is this:
Why is the Colorado Psychedelic Church considered a church?
​
We define a church as a community gathered with spiritual purpose to explore the self, reach beyond old limits, and choose love as kin. We believe divinity manifests through human connection and the shared journey of truly living, rather than through rigid institutions or ancient deities.
​
Our purpose is to create a space where no one stands alone. We focus on personal growth, the creation of joy, and the strength found in communal unity.
We ask our members to become their best selves and offer that light to their chosen family, fostering a world strengthened by authentic connection.
We do not follow traditional religious doctrines, yet many of our practices are timeless. We do not preach deities or damnation, and we reject ideologies born of hate or ignorance.
Our church is defined by the reverence of the self and the love forged in the space between us, creating a spiritual home for those who value cognitive liberty and communal wellness.
​
Within each of us is the spark of the divine, and it's our communal goal to reconnect everyone with what it means to act with the strength and confidence that already lives within you.

QUESTIONS
Faith & Doctrine
What is the faith of the Colorado Psychedelic Church?
Our faith is centered on cognitive liberty and the spiritual exploration of divinity through community and natural sacraments. Our core beliefs and communal practices are documented in our religious text, the Book of Guidance. The Core beliefs build a foundation from our Universal Truths: Revere the Self, Embrace the Communal Experience, and The Universe Provides.
What is the Book of Guidance?
The Book of Guidance is our sacred religious text. It outlines the spiritual framework, community values, and specific religious practices followed by our congregation. Our clergy are expanding it and will change it to Communion & Entheogenica early in 2026.
What is an entheogen?
An "entheogen" is a natural psychedelic plant or substance used specifically for spiritual purposes. The term comes from Greek roots meaning "generating the divine from within," reflecting our belief in cultivating inner divinity.
​
Legal Status in Colorado
Is the Colorado Psychedelic Church legal?
Yes. We operate under Colorado SB 23-290, which legalized the personal use and communal sharing of specific natural medicines in Colorado. While these substances remain federally illegal, our church adheres strictly to state regulations.
How is the use of psychedelics legal if selling them is illegal?
Under Colorado law, the personal use and sharing of natural medicine without remuneration is legal. Our community never sells entheogenic plants; all sacraments are provided for free as an act of spiritual wellness, with harm-reducing services and additional safety information provided for donations.
Does the church receive donations?
Yes. We operate exclusively on donations. However, access to events and communal offerings is never contingent upon a donation. We do not engage in "quid pro quo" trades, which would violate Colorado law.
​
Community Standards & Protections
What are the age requirements for participation?
The Colorado Psychedelic Church is open to all ages as a safe spiritual space. Access to entheogens is strictly limited to individuals legally able to receive them, in compliance with Colorado state legislation.
Why does the church have religious status?
Our status as a religious organization provides critical protections for our faith and our members. This includes defending the right to self-identification (such as pronoun use) as an act of reverence and protecting our community against discrimination.
Does the church use its status to bypass laws?
No. We do not use our religious status to circumvent the law. We adhere to all local and state legislation to bring legitimacy to the entheogenic movement and empower our members to find joy and healing.
