In the church's own words:
We are a non-profit mushroom church and psilocybin is our sacrament. Unlike anything else in the psychedelic ecosystem, Psanctuary offers a model centered on spiritual autonomy, peer support, and communal care. No gurus or celebrity shamans here. Just a sincere community, sharing wisdom.
From psanctuary.org
Psanctuary's real home is psanctuary.org: Sunday service, membership, courses, ceremonies and events all live there. On GitHub, the church holds two organizations, and each has its own job:
| ⛪ psanctuarychurch | The church's professional face on GitHub: its official home here, kept in order and out in the open. |
| 🌈 psanctuary (you're here) | The decentralized, playful dimension: experiments in tools the community can own, a little more color, and an open record of how it's all built. |
A mushroom has no headquarters. Underground, its mycelium links roots across a whole forest and moves what's needed to wherever it's needed. This side of Psanctuary asks what a church could look like if it grew the same way: many hands and no single center, members deciding together, and thanks that can't be bought or sold. Some of that is a sneak peek, not a promise:
- 🕸️ A network of our own: profiles and posts on open protocols like Lens and Farcaster, so what members share stays theirs, paired with a Psanctuary DAO where members propose ideas and decide together. Privacy first. (The community window has the sneak peek.)
- 🙏 Tokens of gratitude: soulbound, non-transferable thank-yous from Christopher W's gratitude-token project. One stays in the wallet it's given to; it can't be sold, sent on or traded, and it isn't money. Still being tested; no dates.
- 🤝 A pledge of support, already here: sign a short pledge with a wallet. It's free, it sends nothing, nothing is recorded, and there are no counts. Sign it.
The portal has the longer version, with a mycelium you can wake with your pointer.
| Where | What you'll find |
|---|---|
| 🏠 Entry portal | Psanctuary's playful front door on GitHub: the latest changes, who made them, and the way into everything below. |
| 🔭 AstroLog | The front porch of Psanctuary's record: what changed, how it works, and who did the work. |
| 🕰️ Changelog | Dated, plain-language entries, newest first, each with the full story folded underneath. |
| 📚 Library | Longer write-ups on how these pages are built, and why. |
| 🗺️ Map | Every place these pages lead, each with a picture of where it goes. |
| 📜 Ledger | Every public change to the code, in plain words, grouped by day and by kind. Refreshed daily. |
| 💜 Donate | Giving through psanctuary.org, receipts and taxes in the church's own words, a thank-you list, and a wallet preview. |
| 🤝 Pledge | A pledge of support, signed with a wallet: free, nothing sent, nothing recorded, no counts. |
| 🛤️ Roadmap | Where these pages are headed, without dates. |
| 🌱 Sustainability | What keeps them running, and the plan for them to outlive any one person. |
| 📇 Contacts | Every way to reach the church: info@psanctuary.org, the contact form, and its channels. |
| 🍄 Community | The church's member network on Mighty Networks: one link to join or sign in. |
| 🔄 Social previews | How to refresh link previews in Telegram, LinkedIn, Facebook and more, and which pages have their own share image. |
Every page here shares one arrival kit: choose a light (Blacklight is this side's own), a pace and a contrast when you arrive, press / to search, tap the book for reading mode, and see what's new since your last visit. Move your pointer, and mycelium threads reach for the spores nearby.
| Eric O | Co-founded Psanctuary with Courtney M and Athena. |
| Alana | A minister leading the Maine frontier, and part of the web-dev team. |
| Christopher W (@drasticstatic) | Leads the Pennsylvania frontier, and looks after Psanctuary's GitHub home with Alfred. |
Why there's no Discord: Psanctuary once had one, and Eric O closed it on purpose, so the community gathers in one place, on Mighty Networks. A Discord may only ever return as a help-desk back end most people would never see, unless a DAO or something new grows here. Time will tell.
| Repository | What it holds |
|---|---|
| psanctuary.github.io | The entry portal (/, /donate/, /pledge/, /map/), which also serves the arrival kit every Psanctuary page shares. |
| changelog-astro-public | The AstroLog's published pages (written in a private source repository). |
| .github | This profile, and the defaults every repository here shares. |

Everything here was gathered from psanctuary.org's own words, so it's sure to have gaps. The people who tend this community know it far better than any page can, and this space is theirs to grow.
