Two Birds convenes regular, weekly services. During these services, the congregants convene and share in writings and scriptures which resonate within each individual. In this fashion, Two Birds believes that this sharing will assist our members in finding their own inner light – their own inner truth. The common truth shared by all members of Two Birds is love; this fundamental truth – this aspect common to all beings, cannot be learned from words on a page, but by practices. A description of the weekly services is provided, below.
In Two Birds, we practice in the oral tradition. In emphasizing the oral tradition, Two Birds believes that there is more connectivity, more interactivity, more intimacy between its congregants. The actual discussion – whether one-on-one or in a group forum, permits for the ability of people to develop understandings of the fundamental tenets of the faith, as well as to better come to terms with their individual, inner light. Consistent with this oral tradition, Two Birds has developed a song book for its members, reflecting the multifaceted origins of the faith, and its connection to various indigenous cultures. A copy of the Two Birds Church Songbook is attached to this exemption application as an exhibit.
Of course, Two Birds engages in the ritual sacrament of Ayahuasca. This holy plant serves to assist Two Birds’ members with connecting to their inner selves – their inner truths – their inner light.

Two Birds and its adherents abide by the universal, moral truths common to many global religions and cultures. Two Birds’ belief system is founded upon the honoring of each individual’s right to identify a particular, unique spiritual path. The involvement of an adherent in Church activities and ceremonies is intended to facilitate a deepening in the connection to that individual’s unique spirit and to the Great Spirit. The individual opens their heart to becoming a more complete, loving and spiritually-healthy individual. As a key part to achieving this greater awareness, the individual participates in Church ceremonies, honoring the sacraments of such ceremonies and necessarily involving the use of Ayahuasca tea.
Underlying the fundamental tenets of the Faith, as discussed below, are religious principles designed to explain the core beliefs of Two Birds. One of these principles relates specifically to the critical, sacramental nature of Ayahuasca in Two Birds religious ceremonies. The other principle – akin to many religious faiths – articulates aspects of every person’s fundamental worth and natural, God-given rights.
