The original vision when we decided to create this healing center and temple was that we had to have reciprocity deeply written into the journey and within our purpose. Our temple is rooted in our local community offering jobs to locals who desire to reconnect with love and compassion and with the Earth. Our processes are decentralized, collaborative, transparent, and open-sourced. We always listen to feedback on how we can improve and continue to share this wonderful gift with more people and continue to benefit our community.
We are dedicated to the ancestors and the Original Peoples of this planet who, from the beginning, advocated for love as the supreme force for healing and for deepening our connection to spirit and the Earth. Perhaps it is because of this relationship with the Earth’s biosphere, despite humanity’s careless and harmful behaviors, that our earth generously and compassionately offers us the opportunity to learn from entheogenic plant/fungi teachers, and to live cooperatively with nature and each other, and redeem ourselves.
Reciprocity is what keeps all of it going. Sharing the Wisdom, sharing the Knowledge and creating the ability to give back to our world is paramount to our being, which is why we offer scholarships, grants and sponsorship to certain members of our community based on necessity.
Our Temple not only adheres to the principles of conscious business practices by upholding the integrity of the Inga Lineage and its sacred rituals but also actively extends its values into the community through targeted outreach programs and scholarship funds. We recognize that real reciprocity involves more than just financial transactions; it is about creating sustainable, enriching opportunities for community members to grow and thrive.
To reinforce our commitment to reciprocity and community engagement, we have established scholarship funds designed specifically to support those in our local community who face financial barriers. These scholarships enable individuals to access our healing practices and educational workshops, which may otherwise be inaccessible due to cost. This initiative not only supports individual transformation but also strengthens community bonds by fostering inclusivity and accessibility.
Moreover, our Temple is deeply engaged in local community outreach programs. One of our flagship projects includes community gardening, which serves multiple purposes: it helps reconnect people with the land, provides them with valuable skills in sustainable agriculture, and promotes physical and mental well-being through contact with nature. These programs are not only about teaching practical skills but also about instilling a sense of responsibility towards the environment and each other.
In essence, our business model is designed to ensure that every action we take and every resource we generate is redirected back into initiatives that nurture both the individual and the community. By integrating economic activity with social responsibility, we create a cycle of generosity and support that upholds our core values and enhances the lives of all involved. Through these efforts, we aim to embody the principles of conscious business and cultivate a culture of reciprocity that resonates throughout our community and beyond.
