MEMBERSHIP CODE OF CONDUCT

Mission Statement

We here at Orenda Archial hold sacred our privilege and responsibility to create and foster a safe space for spiritual practitioners of all pathways to further explore and learn the arcane arts. We believe that collectively, the knowledge of our ancestors is needed and must be preserved. 

We honor the divine in all and believe that each individuals contribution to that warrants exploration and respect.

We believe that all practitioners deserve a quality educational avenue in the esoteric art. We strive to create a space inclusive of various gender expression, race, religion and sexual orientation. We strive to create a safe and welcoming community for all of our members.
