COMMUNITY
OF PACK LIFE
Our Mission
Make the strength of community and the healing power of natural medicine accessible to all.
We honor our mission and stay in compliance with local legislation by providing our events and offerings for free with no expectation of donations.
What We Preach
At our core, we are communal creatures. There is a divinity in the energy created when we come together, united by a common goal of more than just to survive - but to truly live. What we seek is a resonance with our brothers, sisters, and kin. A place to cultivate what is so innate in our souls - Community.
With the rejection of "thoughts and prayers", and fueled by the motivation of Actions and Change, there is an accepted accountability to being a positive impact on those around you. This is done through love and understanding but in tandem with firm boundaries and a strict intolerance of hateful or malicious ideologies.
The use of natural medicines are available to help us manage our spiritual and mental wellness but are not required by any means. The information and harm reduction is available to everyone.
BOOK OF GUIDANCES
Over the past year, we have built something real—something that thrives in the connections we make, the wisdom we share, and the empowerment we foster. Now, we put to paper what it means to be part of this Community.
The Book of Guidances is not a set of rigid laws, nor a fixed doctrine. It is a reflection of who we are, what we value, and how we choose to walk this path together. Rooted in our Universal Truths and the principles of PACK Life, it serves as a guide—not to bind us, but to illuminate the way.
But like all things that live, it will grow. As our Community expands, as our understanding deepens, this book will evolve alongside us. It is meant to be questioned, refined, and enriched by the experiences we carry forward. It is not a destination—it is a beginning, an ongoing conversation, a shared commitment to learning, adapting, and thriving.
What is written here belongs to all of us. It is an offering, an invitation, and a foundation upon which we build something greater together. As we revel, we grow—and as we grow, so does the Book of Guidances.
The Accessibility Edition of the Book of Guidances is designed to make our teachings as easy to read and engage with as possible. This edition is formatted in a dyslexic-friendly font and presented in bullet points, removing unnecessary barriers for those who process information differently.
​
Unlike the standard edition, this version strips away flowery language and poetic structure. Instead, it delivers the same core messages in a clear, direct, and structured format. The goal is clarity over style, ensuring that meaning is never lost in complex phrasing.
​
This edition exists because accessibility matters. Everyone in The Community should be able to explore, reflect, and grow—without struggle. The wisdom we share belongs to all, and this version ensures it remains within reach.
We come together from different backgrounds and experiences but stand united on the foundation of Three Universal Truths. From there, we strive to be a part of a healthy, strong, Communal Experience, and follow the principles of PACK Life.
Universal Truths
The Communal Understandings
There are many things that are undeniable truths in our Universe. Of these, we build our community on the Three that strengthen us the most and allow us the ability to find peace and resolve.
1. Revere The Self
Don't Serve From An Empty Plate
Millions of years lined up to bring your glorious existence into this time and space. We owe no great responsibility to the Universe but to live with authenticity. We Revere the Self by taking care of ourselves physically, mentally, and spiritually.
2. Embrace the Communal Experience
United We Are Powerful
We are social creatures and escape our primitive life through cooperation and compassion. We are meant to come together and embrace one another's Reality to form the Communal Experience. United we are greater than the sum of our parts. Through community all burdens become lighter.
3. The Universe Provides
Stop - Breathe - Listen
The Universe will find balance and we can only act with the tools we have within our grasp. We acknowledge the mysteries of the Universe and accept the responsibility that we must still act and live with purpose. The Universe Provides us the time to find answers - We only have to look.
Values of PACK Life
Protection
In Community, we find protection from the dangers from both the world around us and the dangers within. Our connections with others can support us when we feel frail or wounded, and we can return the kindness when we feel resilient.
​
We let our value of Protection echo:
Passion. Purpose. Power.
The Meaning of our Symbol
A Single Mushroom - One of our primary sacred substances. This stands for the Self.
The Ayahuasca Plant- For the DMT we use with reverence. Recognition of our call to nature.
The Three Leaves - Each stands for a Universal Truth upon which we have built our Community.
The Whole (The Border) - Bringing together the beauty of the full picture. A recognition of the whole being greater than the individual parts.
Revere The Self
Embrace the Communal Experience
The Universe Provides.
Teopixqui Dez
Spiritual Director
Hello, I am Teopixqui Dez (Teh-Oh-Pea-Key Dez), and I am honored to serve as the Spiritual Director of the Community of PACK Life.
​​
There is a power hidden inside the bonds that we create with one another. As social creatures, we find our truest selves in the reflection of others, and it's that ideology coupled with my experience working in mental health that led me here today.
​
I am no doctor or formally trained pastor of a traditional faith - I hold an undergraduate in Psychology from the University of Houston, and have been incredibly fortunate to have worked with some of the greatest facilities and organizations in the country through hard work and passion. For 10 years I provided my skills to the American healthcare system and, in that, I became part of a system that separates people from a healthy tomorrow for lack of privilege - be it in insurance or money itself.
I am just a millennial, burnt out by watching fires burn unattended in our society's morality and spirituality, who can't sit by idly anymore as our brothers, sisters, and kin suffer alone. With suicides skyrocketing under the age of 40 and over the age of 60, there has to be something to stop the cycle. I can't change the world or the country, but maybe - with enough attention and love - I can help people change things in Colorado.
​
I had my spiritual awakening in Jan 2024, and in that time have built a congregation of over 300 people who see the power that lies within the Community. This has never been about a strong me - It's about a powerful us. Ask about this story when we meet.
The Universe has a message for each of us.
Come and let me share how to listen.
