The Three Haven Society traces its roots to a vision of creating a spiritual community devoted to nature, ancestral wisdom, and holistic reverence for the divine. Formally incorporated as a religious nonprofit in Indiana on December 10, 2023, it gained legal recognition and protections equivalent to those enjoyed by churches. Early on, members drew on Celtic influences—especially the Tuatha Dé Danann—and venerated the Triple Moon Goddess to shape a practice that sees nature as sacred and interconnected with human life. The Society’s earliest Grove formed in Boonville, Indiana, serving as the original model for sanctuaries that uphold seasonal celebrations, shared rituals, and environmental stewardship. Over time, these Groves expanded their mission to include community education, ministerial services (such as weddings and handfastings), and outreach efforts aligned with protecting the Earth. Today, the Three Haven Society maintains a network of Groves united by its commitment to honoring nature’s cycles, fostering spiritual growth, and preserving ancestral teachings. 

The Three Haven Society has grown from a single Grove in Boonville, Indiana, to a broader network of communities actively working to preserve nature and foster spiritual enrichment. A few of our key accomplishments include:

• Legal Recognition and Protections
We formalized our status under Indiana’s nonprofit laws, securing legal protections equivalent to those of a church. This has allowed us to openly minister to our members, safeguard sacred spaces, and receive tax-deductible donations. As a result, our clergy can legally officiate marriages and other important life ceremonies.

• Environmental Stewardship Initiatives
Through our Environmental Services & Community Land Stewardship resolutions, we’ve extended our care beyond our own Groves to private and public lands. Our teams provide sustainable tree felling, pond restoration, natural landscaping, and biodiversity projects. These are offered in exchange for voluntary donations, ensuring we remain a mission-driven rather than profit-driven organization.

• Resolutions and Governance
We’ve adopted comprehensive annual resolutions that guide everything from sabbaticals and ministerial compensation to religious freedoms and property management. For example, we have structured policies for housing allowances, accountable reimbursements, and even self-employment tax exemptions, ensuring our clergy receive the support they need while remaining compliant with IRS regulations.

• Chaplaincy and Community Service
Our Chaplaincy Program certifies members to serve in hospitals, correctional facilities, military contexts, and disaster relief efforts—extending our spiritual care into the wider community. We also encourage members to volunteer and engage in charitable work, strengthening our shared sense of service and compassion.

• Growth of Groves and Ritual Traditions
Beyond the original Grove in Boonville, we have inspired the establishment of new Groves that celebrate seasonal Sabbats, host inclusive gatherings, and practice nature-centric rituals throughout the year. Each Grove is a sanctuary for connecting with the divine and learning about ancestral wisdom.

From environmental care to spiritual guidance, the Society remains proudest of our commitment to nurturing both people and the planet. By weaving together legal protections, responsible stewardship, and heartfelt community-building, we aim to ensure that our sacred spaces and traditions continue to flourish for generations to come.
