About
Mission
Church of the People for Creator and Mother Earth (OFTP) is a 501(c)(3) religious nonprofit dedicated to preserving and promoting Native traditional ceremonies. We provide support for those committed to Earth-based sacraments, distinctly separate from the psychedelic movement. Located on the La Jolla Indian Reservation in Southern California, our faith-based church operates under the protection of the American Indian Freedom Actor 1978 (AIRFA) (42 U.S.C. 1996). Our mission is to rejuvenate ancient traditions, offer education, and conduct ceremonies and worship.

Our way of Medicine!
In 2018, I lost my father to cancer, which revealed to me the profound power of Medicine. In today’s world of new healing, there remains a lack of connection to Creator and Mother Earth. At our church, we’re not reinventing the wheel or engaging in divisive politics. Instead, we embrace traditional practices, connecting deeply with Mother Earth and seeking guidance from Creator. Healing may be challenging at first, but the journey toward greater awareness, better health, and abundant living is one that requires persistence, honor, love, power. You are love, power, and balance if you choose to be.
