Built on Community Support
Ancestral Spirit Tribe is Fully Funded by Donations
Ancestral Spirit Tribe is a fully non-profit church. We are Tax- exempt under (501(c)3 Internal Revenue Code) with a very small team and we are not profiting off of these sacred ancestral medicines. Here at AST our mission is the priority, and we offer the lowest prices for healing that we can sustainably offer. All donations to the space and us personally go directly into operational expenses, to improving the healing and ceremonial experience, and into the land. We accept any and all contributions with immeasurable gratitude.

Help Our Cause
Your support and contributions will enable us to meet our goals and fund our mission.
Projects and Expenses
The Property
We do not yet own the land that we are operating on, and rent, along with electricity and utilities, is one of our largest expenses. Our intention moving forward is to work towards purchasing the land to better secure our ability to continue providing our services and have greater freedom to create and grow as a sacred space.
Ceremony
Enormous dedication and sacrifice underpin the gathering, transportation, and preparation of the sacred medicines we provide. Years of rigorous training and personal transformation are prerequisites for serving them. Additionally, significant effort is invested in ceremony preparation, including space setup, cleaning, hospitality, and marketing. Our ceremony donations cover the essential costs to sustain this healing practice. However, we aspire to broaden our offerings and discover innovative ways to enhance the healing journey while promoting ethical and sustainable use of ancestral medicine. Your support plays a crucial role in advancing this mission.” 🌿🌟🙏
Kitchen & Lodging
We frequently provide nourishing food during and after ceremonies, and we extend lodging options to those in need. Our ongoing goal is to expand our services, including the creation of lodging and camping spaces for more budget-friendly choices. Essential supplies such as food, beverages, cleaning products, toilet paper, and paper towels constitute consistent expenses. We warmly welcome donations of these items to support our mission.”
The Land
We hold tremendous gratitude for this beautiful land we are on, and wish to honor it by cultivating community gardens, constructing altars, and creating many beautiful outdoor spaces for all to enjoy. Even basic landscaping can be a lot to manage with such a small team, so any volunteering, equipment, or financial support goes a long way in manifesting our collective vision.
Music
Music is a very important aspect of our work in ceremony, community building, and preservation of indigenous culture. We hope to provide an improved space for music to be created and enjoyed by the greater community. Recording equipment is something we are very excited to invest in as a means of sharing ancestral wisdom through music and podcasts. Also expanding our collection of instruments would be a beautiful way for us to further connect with each other, discover our talents, and find deeper healing within the community.
Website
Hosting, maintaining, and growing our website is definitely a priority for us. We are very much at the limits of what our current system can provide, and we are looking to invest in better solutions to connect the community and offer spiritual knowledge in the digital era.
