Background Checks
Two Birds Church upholds a rigorous policy when it comes to ensuring the integrity and safety of our staff and community members. To maintain an environment of trust, reliability, and sacred respect for the Ayahuasca sacrament, we have implemented stringent background check protocols that apply to all personnel associated with the handling, preparation, and facilitation of our Ayahuasca ceremonies.
The first step in our protocol is carrying out comprehensive criminal background checks on all our personnel. These checks are not a one-time procedure; instead, we conduct them on a quarterly basis to keep our records up-to-date and ensure ongoing compliance. The frequency of these checks also encourages transparency and responsibility among our personnel. In addition, our team members are required to immediately disclose any arrest or conviction to Two Birds Church to maintain a high level of trust and integrity within our community.
Our background checks specifically look for any non-possession drug offenses such as manufacturing, delivery, sale, trafficking, etc. Any individual with such a conviction is immediately disqualified from any involvement with the sacramental tea. This measure is crucial in maintaining the sanctity of our ceremonies and the safety of our participants, as it ensures that those entrusted with the handling of the Ayahuasca sacrament are reliable and law-abiding.
Furthermore, we screen for convictions involving “moral turpitude,” which includes but is not limited to offenses involving theft, fraud, and crimes of violence. Individuals with such convictions are deemed unfit to participate in the handling, preparation, or dispensing of Ayahuasca. We hold this criterion in high regard as it helps us foster an environment of trust, respect, and non-violence, which is vital to the spiritual journey of our members.
Beyond these checks, Two Birds Church continuously promotes and encourages a culture of respect, honesty, and personal responsibility among all our personnel. We believe that by setting these high standards, we not only ensure the physical safety of our community but also the spiritual integrity of the sacred ceremonies we conduct.
In all these ways, Two Birds Church remains dedicated to preserving the sanctity of the Ayahuasca sacrament and ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our community, creating a secure and supportive environment for profound spiritual exploration and growth.
