Community

Our Community

To be part of CODE is to enter into a living relationship with The Path of Direct Experience. Community reflects both a commitment to the Path and an active form of participation in the life of the Church. It is not symbolic.
It is lived.

A Living Community

Community is the heart of The Path of Direct Experience.

It provides connection, support, eligibility for screening, and the ability to participate in ceremonies when appropriate.

What Community Life Includes

Ours is a structured and active community:

  • Regular Zoom Gatherings — live discussion, teaching, and connection
  • CODE Book Club — exploration of consciousness and Direct Experience
  • The Return — CODE recovery and support group
  • CODE Connect — in-person gatherings and local connection
  • Volunteer Network — opportunities for deeper service and involvement

Participation and Screening

Participation in ceremony is not automatic. All who wish to participate must complete a screening and intake process. All submissions are reviewed prior to approval. Participation is offered only when it is appropriate, safe, and aligned.

CODE is not an open-access or transactional environment. It is a structured path that requires readiness, responsibility, and respect for the process. Community is the entry point into that structure.
