Our Healing Wheel – Your Healing Journey
Practitioners of the SCG are committed to engaging formal religious practice as individuals and with community, grounded in SGC founders’ experience with traditional sacred practices and revealed Truth as well as in shared scientific insights into consciousness and direct experience of divinity. Together, our leaders and membership engage spiritually healing ministry and practice.
The Healing Wheel represents the path the SGC guides its members along. Each step has been informed by generations of practice and heart-centered discussion. It is through these processes that we prepare for, facilitate, experience and integrate direct exposure to Truth, assisted by sacred plants and careful practice.

Dedication to Healing
We take and make many reasonable preparations to protect each participant’s health and safety during spiritual practices and in the periods of vulnerability that may follow. Spiritual practices are designed and conducted in ways that respect the common good, traditional practices, and ancestral insights with due regard for public safety, health, and order. Limits on the behaviors of participants and facilitators are made clear and agreed upon in advance of any session.
Honor the Sacrament
We acknowledge the power of these Sacraments to heighten perception; due to the increased awareness gained from spiritual practices, catalyzing the desire for personal and social change is not uncommon. We shall use special care to help direct the energies of those we serve, as well as our own, in responsible ways that reflect a loving regard for the Unity of Nature.
Commitment to Community
We shall respect and seek to preserve the autonomy and dignity of each person; this includes, but is not limited to, the safe, caring, compassionate, consensual and responsible guidance of the individual through their preparation, initiation and integration. We strive for the nurturance and well-being of all those we serve, and to the co-creation of safe, solid, sacred and secure containers for our practice.
Transparent Practice
We know the necessity for, and thus, intentionally make space to allow, lucid, informed, and freely given consent with the intent for the surrender completely to the experience of respectful healing practice. Participation in practice will be voluntary and based on prior disclosure and consent given individually while in an ordinary state of consciousness. Disclosure includes, at a minimum, discussion of any elements of the practice that could reasonably be seen as presenting physical or psychological risks. In particular, participants will be made acutely aware that primary religious experience can be difficult and dramatically transformative.
Ethical Anonymity
We will ensure and maintain absolute privacy, confidentiality, discretion and respect in regard to the identities and specific personal processes of all those we serve, in addition to all those offering their service unless with their express permission.
