32:13Now PlayingIn a fascinating twist on modern spirituality, psychedelic churches like The Divine Assembly in Salt Lake City and Psanctuary Church in Louisville are filling the spiritual void for the religiously unaffiliated, often referred to as "nones." These churches offer an alternative form of spiritual expression that focuses less on a higher power and more on individual well-being and "pure consciousness." The Divine Assembly, founded by a former member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Steve Urquhart, aims to connect "people to self, others and the Divine" without dogma or intermediaries. It even offers an educational initiative called "shroomiversity" to teach people how to grow psilocybin mushrooms. Psanctuary Church, on the other hand, defines itself as a "Constitutional Church" and views the use of sacred mushrooms as both a spiritual right and an expression of political freedom. These churches are not atheistic but maintain an inclusive notion of belief, emphasizing that "the divine is not elsewhere but within everyone." Through a range of activities from ice baths to meditation, members engage in collective meaning-making rituals that enrich their lives beyond the walls of the church.
