In this critical training, attorney George Lake addresses one of the most high-stakes realities for entheogenic church leaders: encounters with law enforcement and the perception of government agencies. Regardless of your sincere intent, how you communicate, present, and respond in key moments can either strengthen your defense—or open the door to unnecessary legal action. This class covers how to recognize a legal threshold moment, how to de-escalate an inquiry, and how to ensure your language, documents, and presence reflect sincerity and spiritual integrity. 🧠 What You’ll Learn: What law enforcement officers are trained to look for during interactions How your tone, setting, and vocabulary shape perception What to say, not say, and never say when questioned The difference between volunteering information and invoking protection When to remain silent, when to speak as a minister, and when to call legal support How to prepare your space, team, and paperwork in advance for respectful encounters 📄 Includes: Informative PDF Sample scripting for ceremony leaders, greeters, and security Insights into DEA and local agency behavior during field contact Access to class replay and future updates 👥 Who This Class Is For: Ministers and facilitators leading in-person gatherings Church founders concerned about visibility or public events Ceremony support teams, greeters, or safety coordinators Anyone who may have contact with law enforcement during church operations ⚠️ Why It Matters: You can have your bylaws, theology, and structure in perfect order—but if your team panics, says the wrong thing, or presents inconsistently during a real-time encounter, the perception of legitimacy can collapse. This class prepares you to lead with presence, clarity, and calm, even under pressure. 📚 Part of the EntheoEsq Masterclass Series This is Class 8 of 10 in a comprehensive legal education series designed for sacred plant medicine churches and entheogenic ministries operating in the U.S.
