2.0 Statement of Belief

2.1 Core Beliefs

PRISMA embraces a spiritually inclusive framework, drawing wisdom from multiple traditions while centering the transformative power of entheogens in religious practice. Our beliefs recognize:

• The interconnectedness of all life and the divine presence within each being.
• The sacred role of entheogens in facilitating direct spiritual experiences, self-discovery, and healing.
• The importance of conscious exploration, personal sovereignty, and responsible engagement with spiritual sacraments.

2.2 PRISMA as an Entheist and Omnist Organization

PRISMA’s values are rooted in a blend of Entheism—the belief that the Divine is within and we are all interconnected as One—and Omnism, the recognition that wisdom, truth, and legitimacy both exist and can be found in all spiritual paths. We embrace the wisdom and truth found across all spiritual traditions while honoring the unique journey of every individual, affirming that spiritual exploration is the birthright of all humans.

This inclusive approach reflects our belief that no single tradition holds all the answers, but that every path contributes to the understanding of the Divine and the interconnectedness of all life.

2.3 At PRISMA, We Believe:

• We are spiritual beings experiencing human life, each a unique reflection of Divine Consciousness. I am you, you are me, and together we are ONE, united in our shared existence at this moment in time.
• Life and death are expressions of conscious energy. All that exists is energy, infinite and eternal, as energy can neither be created nor destroyed. This means Divine Consciousness—and the essence of who you are—is boundless and everlasting, expressed in different forms and awarenesses.
• Love is the highest spiritual practice. Unconditional love, support, and mutual healing are essential to our shared journey. Learning and growth do not end with adulthood; we are here to uplift and teach one another at every stage of life.
• Our beliefs shape our reality. The state of our minds and hearts manifests the world we experience. When we are connected to Divine Consciousness, we create harmony and joy; when disconnected, we may create suffering.
• Sacred psilocybin mushrooms and plant-based medicines are an essential sacrament. These gifts from the Source allow us to commune with Divine Consciousness in a profound and transformative way, offering guidance, healing, and connection.

2.4 Relationship with Entheogens

PRISMA regards entheogens as sacred tools that facilitate communion with the divine and deeper self-awareness. These sacraments are approached with reverence, intention, and ethical responsibility within a structured and supportive spiritual practice.

• Entheogenic ceremonies are conducted in alignment with PRISMA’s ethical guidelines and with respect for individual readiness and intention.
• Members are encouraged to cultivate mindfulness, integration practices, and ongoing spiritual development beyond sacramental use.
• The relationship with entheogens is guided by principles of safety, respect, and the recognition of their historical and cultural significance.

3.0 Our Values

3.1 Foundational Principles At PRISMA, our founding principles serve as guiding lenses through which we approach healing, growth, and transformation for all beings. Rooted in the belief of a transcendent humanity, these principles reflect our commitment to the flourishing of every individual.

By integrating Unitarian Universalist principles, the teachings of Abraham Maslow, Omnism, Entheism, and progressive spirituality, PRISMA offers a non-traditional, inclusive, and forward-thinking spiritual space. Here, we honor the diversity of paths to spiritual awakening and create a community where every person’s journey is respected and supported.

3.2 Core Values

• Safety, Psychological Well-Being, and Support – Safety—both physical and psychological—is foundational to the PRISMA experience. We provide a secure and nurturing environment where participants feel safe to explore, express themselves, and engage in transformative processes. PRISMA’s unique focus on neurodiverse and queer communities aligns with the RFRA principle of religious inclusivity.
• Spiritual Growth, Awareness, and Integration – Spiritual growth is a lifelong journey of discovering deeper truths about oneself, others, and the divine. At PRISMA, we believe that true spiritual awakening comes from integrating the wisdom gained through these experiences into everyday life.
• Service and Compassionate Giving – Service is integral to our ethos. We believe that by offering compassion and support to others, we cultivate greater personal growth and contribute to the healing of the world.
• Transformative Exploration and Psychedelic Journeying – PRISMA sees psychedelic sacraments as sacred tools, a birthright of humans, utilized for deepening awareness, unlocking creativity, and facilitating profound self-discovery and transformation through communion with the Divine.
• Justice, Equality, and Community Engagement – Justice, equality, and fairness are central to PRISMA’s mission. We are committed to creating an inclusive, welcoming environment where every individual is treated with respect, dignity, and compassion.
• Authentic Self-Expression and Creativity – We value the uniqueness of each individual and encourage authentic self-expression. Creativity and vulnerability are vital to both personal growth and communal enrichment. We call this being our very own "frequency," and want every human to find their own refraction of the Light in this world.

17.0 Emergency Procedures & Crisis Response

17.1 Purpose & Scope

PRISMA is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all explorers participating in entheogenic ceremonies. While all ceremonies are conducted with carefully controlled conditions, it is essential to have clear emergency procedures in place to manage medical, psychological, and safety concerns.

By engaging in PRISMA’s offerings, explorers acknowledge that they may experience intense emotional, psychological, or physical reactions and agree to comply with PRISMA’s safety protocols.

17.2 Crisis Prevention & Safety Measures

PRISMA follows strict preventative measures to minimize the likelihood of emergencies:

• Comprehensive Screening: All explorers complete an intake process to assess physical, psychological, and spiritual readiness.
• Medical & Psychological Readiness: PRISMA ensures all participants are aware of contraindications and medication risks.
• Safe Ceremony Space: All ceremonies are conducted in controlled, private environments with trained Navigators present.
• Emergency Plans in Place: PRISMA maintains clear protocols for handling physical, medical, and psychological crises.
• Post-Ceremony Integration Support: All explorers are encouraged to engage in post-ceremony debriefing and integration sessions to ensure long-term well-being.

17.3 Handling Medical Emergencies

While rare, medical emergencies require immediate attention. PRISMA has emergency protocols in place to address:

• Severe physical distress (e.g., seizures, loss of consciousness, difficulty breathing).
• Cardiovascular symptoms (e.g., chest pain, irregular heartbeat, extreme blood pressure changes).
• Severe allergic reactions.
• Serious dehydration or physical exhaustion.

Emergency Response Protocol:

4. Post-Incident Documentation: PRISMA will complete an incident report to evaluate and improve safety measures.

17.4 Handling Psychological & Emotional Crises

Entheogenic experiences may trigger intense emotions, trauma processing, or psychological distress. PRISMA Navigators are trained to manage non-medical emotional crises by:

• Providing grounding techniques (breathing exercises, verbal reassurance).
• Maintaining a calm, supportive environment.
• Ensuring explorers are not left alone during distressing episodes.
• Guiding participants through post-ceremony integration.

If an Explorer Exhibits Signs of Psychological Distress:

2. Controlled Recovery Time: The explorer will be given time in a safe, quiet environment.
3. Follow-Up Integration: A post-ceremony session will be offered to ensure continued emotional processing.
4. Referral for Additional Support: If distress persists, PRISMA may recommend additional psychological or therapeutic support.

17.5 When External Medical or Psychological Help is Required

PRISMA Navigators are trained to support explorers through challenging experiences but are not licensed medical professionals. If an explorer presents severe distress beyond PRISMA’s capacity, external emergency services may be called. Situations that warrant external intervention include:

• Severe, prolonged psychological distress or dissociation.
• Clear intent to harm self or others.
• Medical complications requiring hospitalization.

Explorers acknowledge that by participating, they accept the possibility of emergency intervention if deemed necessary by PRISMA Navigators.

As a Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA)-protected organization, PRISMA does not sell sacraments or ceremonies, nor do sacraments constitute a commercial exchange. Participation in ceremonies is by invitation only and is offered as a spiritual benefit of membership to those who share PRISMA’s sincerely held religious beliefs.

To sustain our community and provide access to ceremonial experiences, members are encouraged to contribute financially in alignment with their ability. These contributions support the infrastructure, spiritual guidance, ceremonial preparation, safety protocols, and ongoing education that uphold PRISMA’s sacred mission.

Sacraments are sacred gifts and are never exchanged for financial payment. Contributions made to PRISMA are for the ongoing support of the organization, ceremonial space, community services, and mission alignment.
