Service Description

Religious Services at Holy Mycelium Holy Mycelium is a church dedicated to fostering spiritual growth through the teachings of interconnectedness, inspired by the natural wisdom of mycelial networks. As a religious organization qualifying as a church under IRS Section 501(c)(3) guidelines, we operate exclusively for religious, charitable, and educational purposes. Our creed emphasizes unity with nature, mindfulness, and communal harmony as pathways to enlightenment and personal transformation, with regular congregations, ordained leadership, and a distinct code of doctrine. We maintain no private inurement and focus on advancing religion for the public benefit. Ongoing Scheduled Services As a church, we hold ongoing, scheduled religious services to nurture our congregation's spiritual practice. These nature gatherings are open to all seekers and occur on a consistent weekly basis in harmony with our outdoor worship ethos: Sunday Nature Gatherings: Every Sunday at 12:30 PM, weather permitting.

Services typically last 60-90 minutes and include guided meditations, scriptural readings from our doctrinal literature on mycelial spirituality, communal sharing, and rituals honoring natural cycles.
