Minister Ordainment

Every month you will complete several recommended readings or film screenings to deepen your comprehension and proficiency in working with the sacrament. We'll host a discussion to give you a dedicated space to reflect on your insights and ask questions of your mentors.

Preparation and Integration are essential to the potency and effectiveness of a sacrament ceremony. These key skills support members to have a safe and beneficial spiritual immersion with Divine Presence. We will spend time during Monday Office Hours, throughout the year, addressing this aspect of your service to the members.

It's important for all ministers to be doing their own personal healing and spiritual work throughout the program. Each of the participants in the Ordainment cohort will receive a private or small group sacrament ceremony once each season. These crucial experiential days serve as a "vivid and felt understanding" you will reference often in your ministry. 

During the first six months of your Ordainment mentorship, you will have opportunities to shadow the Founding Ministers in the ceremonies they have scheduled (as assistants) and volunteer in the Spring Camping Retreat. We encourage you to take notes and reflect with your cohort during our Monday Office Hours.

Entheo Temple offers monthly breathwork and sound bath experiences to the community. As these offerings continue to grow, you will be able to co-lead and assist. We hope your participation inspires you to co-create more novel group containers for the membership, within the Entheo Temple ecosystem. 

During the second six months of your Ordainment mentorship, you will have opportunities to invite up to six of your loved ones to come in for ceremony, (solo or in pairs) under the supervision of the Founding Ministers. These training ceremonies are offered 'pro deo,' no donation except for the participant's annual membership. 

During the second six months of your ordainment program, you will help to co-create a Summer Beach Retreat,  an Autumn Camping Retreat, and a Winter Cabin Retreat for our members. These training retreats prepare you to work together in larger group containers. These retreats will be your first opportunity to receive compensation for your service.

You will be in ongoing communication with your mentors and the small cohort of ministers-in-training who have chosen to take this journey with you. The relationships you build in this year together will be some of the deepest and most aligned of your lifetime. We look forward to welcoming you into the inner circle.

Upon completion of the Ordainment mentorship, you will become a part-time employee of the church. You will only be able to offer sacrament ceremony and sacrament retreats on payroll, within the Entheo Temple ecosystem. Your first year of employment is a continuation of your mentorship with the Founding Ministers. You may build a related but separate business offering services such as meditation, yoga instruction, energy healing, coaching, etc -- to supplement your income.
