Class 9: The Religious vs. Therapeutic Line
Service Description
🧬 Class 9: The Religious vs. Therapeutic Line Topic: How to Frame Your Practice to Stay Spiritually Authentic and Legally Distinct from Clinical Care Duration: 2 Hours | Price: $100 | Format: Online with Q&A Part of the EntheoEsq Masterclass Series Are you offering spiritual guidance—or sliding into unlicensed therapy? In this vital class, attorney George Lake helps entheogenic church leaders and facilitators navigate the delicate line between spiritual support and regulated clinical services. As psychedelic healing becomes more mainstream, regulators are paying close attention to language, frameworks, and facilitators who may unintentionally offer services that resemble therapy—without the licensing or legal structure to do so. This class teaches you how to honor your spiritual mission while avoiding language, processes, or frameworks that could expose you to enforcement under medical, psychological, or consumer protection laws. 🧠 What You’ll Learn: The legal differences between religious ministry and clinical therapy How terms like integration, healing, trauma work, and mental health are interpreted by regulators How to frame your offerings as spiritual guidance, ritual, or sacrament When and why courts reject RFRA claims based on therapeutic intent Real-world examples of communities who faced scrutiny for crossing the line How to craft your messaging, intake forms, and facilitation approach accordingly 📄 Includes: Messaging Guide: “Spiritual Framing vs. Clinical Language” Intake and disclaimer language that reinforces religious identity Reflection prompts to clarify your own intention, language, and scope Case studies where spiritual claims were undermined by therapeutic positioning Lifetime access to this class and materials 👥 This Class Is Essential For: Ministers and facilitators supporting participants after ceremony Spiritual practitioners with backgrounds in coaching, therapy, or healing Church founders creating educational or integration resources Anyone offering support in ways that may resemble mental health work ⚠️ Why It Matters: Many well-meaning leaders use the language of healing or therapy without realizing that doing so can reclassify their work in the eyes of the law. When that happens, constitutional protections may no longer apply. This class helps you clarify what you’re offering, and how to describe it in a way that’s both authentic and protected. 📚 Part 9 of 10 in the EntheoEsq Masterclass Series
