One-page Sacred Tree overview
A Living Framework
The Sacred Tree is the theological and ethical framework that guides our teaching, ritual, and community life. It offers a way of understanding values, lived experience, and relationship as interconnected parts of a living whole, rooted, sustained, and reaching outward.
Roots — The Virtues
- Honor
- Hospitality
- Sovereignty
The Roots represent the virtues that ground our life together. These values shape how we relate to ourselves, our communities, and the divine through lived practice rather than abstract belief.
Trunk — The Cycle
- Life
- Growth
- Death
The Trunk reflects the cycle of life as it is lived and experienced, life, growth, and death held together as part of a continuous process of change and transformation.
Branches — The Sacred Ones
- Spirits
- Ancestors
- Gods
The Branches reach outward into relationship with the Sacred Ones: ancestors, spirits, and gods. Through these relationships, we learn reciprocity, responsibility, and connection beyond the self.
Together, Roots, Trunk, and Branches form a living framework rather than a fixed doctrine. The Sacred Tree is meant to be explored, practiced, and revisited over time, offering structure without rigidity and meaning without exclusion.
