Writings, teachings, and dispatches from the sanctuary.
Sacrament
How this church makes the chocolate
A sacrament is a batch with a number on it. Where the cacao comes from, how the mushroom is ground, what the lab checks twice, and why we dose by the piece.
Healing
What a psychiatrist can and cannot promise
People search for mushrooms and depression at one in the morning. Here is what the clinic owns, what the published trials actually show, and where a church stops.
Culture
Musicians who said the mushroom out loud
Margo Price took a bag of mushrooms to a rental house and came back with Strays. What a church journal can learn from musicians who said the word in public, and what it refuses to borrow from them.
Safety
Set, setting, age, and what we will not claim
Safety is not a waiver dressed as an essay. It is a short list of rooms we will not enter, a longer list for your fridge, and the claims you will never find on our wrapper.
Creativity
When the night itself is the work
A night with the sacred mushroom does not hand you finished art. It hands you material, a morning, and a decision. Here is how we think about making, and how we make the pictures for this church.
Letter
Welcome to The Hero Church
The gates are open. Who we are, what we make, how we test it, and how to walk in as an adult who wants the truth before the chocolate.
