-
Yes. Temple of Omnia is a church and a nonprofit religious organization recognized by the IRS as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3). Our faith is expressed through our Articles of Faith, religious practices, ceremonies, community life, and service. While we follow our own defined spiritual path, we respect and draw inspiration from religious and wisdom traditions from around the world.
-
Our religious path is called Omnianism. Omnia is a Latin word meaning “all things” or “everything.” The name reflects our nondual understanding that the Source, which some call God or the Divine, is expressed through all of creation. We believe there are many sincere paths through which people may seek and experience connection with the Divine.
-
No. We welcome people of all faiths and all walks of life. Non-preaching is one of our religious principles. Those who attend our gatherings or participate in our work are neither required nor encouraged to abandon their own religion, tradition, or spiritual identity. We have no formal conversion process. We believe a person’s path is demonstrated through how they live, practice, and relate to others, not merely through a label they adopt.
-
We welcome sincere adults from diverse religious, cultural, and personal backgrounds who approach the work respectfully and in good faith. Participation is considered individually because not every practice or ceremony is appropriate for every person. No one is excluded simply because they follow another religion or do not identify with a particular religious tradition.
-
Sacramental work is a form of religious practice intended to support direct communion with the Divine, spiritual discernment, prayer, self-examination, and personal transformation. It is approached with reverence and within a structured ceremonial setting. It is not offered as entertainment or as a recreational experience.
-
No. Temple of Omnia is a church, not a medical or mental-health provider, and its ceremonies are religious rather than clinical services. Participants may experience the work as personally meaningful or healing, but we do not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatment, or promise particular physical or psychological outcomes. Participation should not be regarded as a substitute for appropriate medical or mental-health care.
-
Safety is our highest practical priority. Anyone interested in participating in sacramental work must complete a detailed discernment and screening process addressing physical health, medications, mental-health history, and other relevant considerations. This work is not appropriate for everyone, and we will decline participation when we believe it may not be suitable or reasonably safe for a particular individual.
-
Privacy and discretion are central to our work. Personal information and experiences shared within the church are treated respectfully and confidentially, and participants are expected to honor the privacy of others. Information may be disclosed only when required by law or when necessary to respond to an immediate safety emergency.
-
Ceremonies are intentionally small, prayerful, and carefully facilitated. They may include periods of silence, music, prayer, contemplation, and personal spiritual work. The exact structure may vary depending on the gathering and the needs of those participating. More detailed information is shared privately with individuals who complete an initial conversation and discernment process.
