About the Sacred Assembly of Soil & Soul
SASS was born as a sacred expression of the Field Studies Sanctuary vision — a church and community devoted to Earth-honoring spirituality, ancestral wisdom, and intuitive guidance.
Structured as a 508(c)(1)(A) spiritual organization, SASS exists to hold space for prayerful gatherings, sacred study, and the embodiment of Source through soil, song, and soul work.
Our leadership moves in alignment with Spirit, guided by stewardship rather than hierarchy.
The SASS Philosophy
Sacred Assembly of Soil & Soul (SASS) is the living, breathing church within Field Studies Sanctuary — a fellowship rooted in reverence for Earth, Source, and the unseen threads that bind us.
We gather to celebrate the infinite ways each soul remembers its connection to Source. This space is a call inward and outward — into deeper listening, collective healing, and spiritual stewardship.
With over eight billion souls walking this Earth, we honor that there are over eight billion sacred pathways — each a living thread in the vast tapestry of consciousness. Every voice, every story, every truth adds essential color to the whole. Our diversity is our strength, and our unity flows from shared reverence.
SASS is a sanctuary of dignity and care — held by three sacred pillars: Trust. Respect. Consideration. These values guide our words, our actions, and the spaces we co-create.
Here, we create space for exploration, curiosity, and soulful dialogue — always in the spirit of reverence for all forms of life. Every being who walks through these doors is seen as whole, worthy, and welcome to share their sacred expression.
We offer a resting place for those healing from spiritual harm, and a nourishing ground for those planting new roots of belief. We uphold each being’s right to define their connection with the divine in their own language, rhythm, and time.
We believe in:
- Shared humanity.
- Cycles, in spirals, in soil.
- The divine feminine rising in harmony with the sacred masculine — a reunion of energies that restores balance, wholeness, and grace.
- In restoration, reconnection, and the quiet power of presence.
