We hold our sacraments with reverence and take the responsibilities of serving them seriously. Part of that responsibility is being clear about risk.
Sacramental ceremonies can involve serious physical and psychological risks. A medical intake and screening process help us identify concerns, but they cannot eliminate all risks or guarantee a safe experience.
Please take time to read the information below and ask your questions before deciding whether to participate.
Every participant completes a medical intake and signs a participation agreement that includes informed consent, assumption of risk, and a release of liability. First-time participants also complete a screening call.
The intake asks about:
Please answer honestly and fully, and let us know if your health, medications, or circumstances change before ceremony.
A sacrament may be unsuitable because of a medication you take or a physical or mental health condition. Risks differ between sacraments and between individuals.
If you take medication or have a health concern, speak with your prescribing physician or another qualified healthcare professional and disclose it in your intake. Do not stop, reduce, skip, or change prescribed medication to attend ceremony without first consulting your prescriber.
This page is not a complete list of contraindications and does not provide medical clearance to participate.
Please read the participation agreement carefully before signing. It describes the spiritual nature of ceremony, the risks involved, and your responsibilities as a participant. Contact us if anything is unclear.
Participation is voluntary. You may decline to receive a sacrament. No particular insight, healing, transformation, or other outcome is guaranteed.
Submitting an intake form does not mean you have been accepted into a ceremony. If safety concerns arise, Temple of Eden may postpone, reschedule, or decline participation.
Your wish to take part matters to us. So does being honest when there are reasons not to proceed.
