Welcome to the Church of the Celestial Heart

A church and community of devoted hearts, walking together on the path of awakening. Guided by our Holy Sacrament, Ayahuasca, and the celestial and divine beings of the astral, we walk the path of awakening and devotion, practicing and studying the different religions and traditions that share our common connection to the realm of spirit.

While independent and standing on its own, the Church of the Celestial Heart is an Umbandaime church based on the doctrines of the Umbanda and Santo Daime religions. We are a house of syncretic practice that incorporates several religions and spiritual traditions such as Spiritism, mediumship, Afro-Brazilian animism, and indigenous shamanism.

As of May 5th, 2025, the Church of the Celestial Heart is officially protected by US law. Our sacramental use of Ayahuasca within sacred ceremony is authorized and acknowledged by both the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Department of Justice. Our sacred work and sacrament are now protected by the same constitutional and regulatory protections afforded to all recognized religious practices in this country.
