Foundation Declaration for Thousand Suns Church of Mother Earth (TSCME)
I. Name
The name of this organization shall be Thousand Suns Church of Mother Earth (Thousand Suns CME), hereafter referred to as TSCME.
II. Statement of Faith
We affirm the sanctity and perfection of Mother Earth and Father Sky. TSCME is a State of Michigan Not-for-Profit / IRS 508(c)(1)(A) Faith-Based Intertribal Organization, a branch discipline and convocation of medicine people, teachers, space holders, and community leaders. We assemble under the spiritual authority of the Native American Church and guidance from Indigenous elders and teachers across the globe.
III. Declaration of Conscience and Sacred Purpose
We recognize TSCME as a restoration of pre-colonial and pre-conquest Indigenous lifeways—spanning Central, South, and North America; the Pacific Islands; Eurasia; and the ancestral traditions of European pagan roots and Asian lineages including Japan, Korea, China, Philippines, Thailand, Burma, India, and Tibet. These sacred traditions are being revived in the light of this age to restore Earth-based ceremonial, healing, and spiritual practices.
Our mission is to educate and serve—beginning in Lapeer, Michigan, extending across the USA and globally as Spirit guides. Through worship, counseling, traditional healing arts, sacred education, and discipleship, we train individuals to walk in the path chosen for them by the Great Spirit.
TSCME is:
-
Interfaith
-
Intertribal
-
Indigenous-rooted
-
Earth-honoring
-
Non-denominational
We affirm that:
-
All life is one, animated by the same Spirit.
-
Healing the Earth and healing ourselves are one sacred act.
-
The illusion of separation fuels suffering, greed, exploitation, and environmental destruction.
-
Restoring the sacred bond between humans and Earth is our highest spiritual responsibility.
We honor the plant teachers, sacred sacraments, and indigenous ceremonial practices that reconnect us to this truth.
IV. Universal Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth
We affirm and proclaim that Mother Earth is a living being, and that all beings—organic and inorganic—share equal rights to exist, evolve, and live in harmony with all creation.
