Acknowledge the inherent worth of every individual and champion their rights. Tailor each session to the participant's readiness, ensuring holistic attention to their diverse needs.
Build Capacity for Consent

Honor Diversity & Support Social Justice
Continuously build understanding around power dynamics, historical contexts, and cultural sensitivities. Engage with sensitivity, amplifying the richness of diverse perspectives and experiences. Proactively address biases, ensuring our practices remain inclusive and equitable.
Competence & Life-Long Learning
Dedicate oneself to ongoing professional growth, blending insights from sacred and scientific spheres. Recognize the scope of one's expertise, ensuring each offering aligns with one's training. Stay abreast of developments, both in the realm of sacred medicines and broader health innovations.
Creating Honoring Processes
Carve out clear boundaries, ensuring trust and mutual respect with participants. View participants as collaborators in their healing journey, respecting their insights and experiences. Uphold trauma-informed care principles, ensuring each session remains a sanctuary of safety.
Honoring People’s Bodies and Boundaries
Deepen understanding around touch, its implications, and its nuances, especially within the context of trauma. Establish and respect touch boundaries, ensuring they're clear and consensual. Cherish and safeguard the sanctity of participant autonomy, always honoring their bodily sovereignty.
By embracing this Code of Ethics, The Sacred Medicine Alliance endeavors to serve as a beacon in the realm of holistic healing, fusing ancient wisdom with contemporary health advances. The Sacred Medicine Alliance is steadfast in its mission: to craft a future where the sanctity of ancient healing practices and the transformative potential of modern technologies converge. We call upon our community – our guides, therapists, and advisors – to uphold these principles and to join us in sculpting a future towards a integrated and illuminated approach to the well-being of our minds, bodies and spirits.
