By becoming a member of ONAC, you are not just joining a community, you are embracing a way of life that honors and respects the ancient traditions and wisdom of Native American spirituality. Below, we outline some of the key benefits you will enjoy as a member of ONAC:

Ceremony Participation

As a member of ONAC, you will have the exclusive privilege to attend and participate in a variety of sacred ceremonies. These ceremonies are conducted by experienced and vetted medicine people, ensuring that your spiritual journey is guided by knowledgeable and respected leaders. Whether it’s a sweat lodge, vision quest, or plant medicine ceremony, you will have access to transformative experiences that are integral to our traditions.

Spiritual Growth and Healing

Membership in ONAC offers a unique path for spiritual growth and healing. Through our ceremonies, teachings, and community support, you will have the opportunity to explore and deepen your spiritual practice. Our approach is holistic, aiming to nurture the mind, body, and spirit, and to guide you on a journey of self-discovery and transformation.

Educational Opportunities

 Membership in ONAC opens the door to educational experiences that are unique to our church. Our branches offer workshops, seminars, and teachings that delve into the rich cultural heritage and spiritual practices of Native American traditions. These educational offerings are designed to deepen your understanding and enhance your personal growth.

Community Engagement

By joining ONAC, you become part of a supportive and inclusive community. Our community events provide opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals, share experiences, and build lasting relationships. Ceremonies and branch activites foster a sense of belonging and mutual support, which is at the heart of our church.

Humanitarian Efforts

As our church grows, so does our capacity to make a positive impact. Your membership enables you to participate in humanitarian efforts aimed at supporting our Native American brothers and sisters. We are committed to improving the quality of life for our communities through various initiatives, including providing essential products and services, promoting health and wellness, and supporting educational and economic opportunities.

Financial Contribution and Support

Unlike many religious organizations, ONAC does not require tithing or other obligatory offerings from its members. Your annual membership dues are invaluable, as they provide much-needed financial resources that help sustain the operations of our Mother Church, support our branches, and enable our medicine people to continue their vital work. These funds also ensure the continuation of our humanitarian efforts and the growth of our community services.

 

It is the greatest desire of those who lead ONAC that the healing you seek, the connection with Spirit, and the honoring of our Mother Earth may be found in our circles and our ceremonies. Membership in ONAC is a privilege many preceding us have given their lives for. We must always honor, respect, and be grateful for Creator’s gifts of ceremony and healing medicines.
