Commitment to Accountability
Earth Connection Community holds transparency as inseparable from integrity. As a tax-exempt religious organization, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of governance, financial stewardship, and ethical conduct. We make our policies, legal status, and organizational structure available to our members and the public so that trust is earned through openness.
Governance Structure
Earth Connection Community is guided by an Elders Council of ordained curanderos who hold ultimate spiritual and organizational authority. The Elders Council:
- Sets doctrine and spiritual direction
- Approves organizational budgets
- Ordains and oversees certified ceremony facilitators
- Appoints committees for specific initiatives
- Reviews and upholds the Code of Ethics
Learn more about our facilitators and how they are formed on our facilitator training page.
