the void needs a voice.

Apply here to become a Minister.

it takes a special person to spread the gospel of the void.

Church of the Void is a brand new religion and thus, does not have much existing infrastructure to help develop it. So for that, we will be relying on our enthusiastic early adopters, our first order of Ministers to help supply it. Which means, to become a minister, you have to meet a certain level of requirements, that are significantly more stringent than many other religions on planet Earth. Certainly this is not the page you’re looking for if you just need to officiate your cousin’s wedding.

Additionally, as a new religion, we have to be extremely careful not to be seen as insincere, inauthentic or simply insane. We intend to demonstrate the positive impact the float tank can have on a person and the importance of the float tank to the pursuit of spirituality itself. So that means that you too need to be serious and capable of showcasing this ability as well as maintaining a steady relationship with COTV as a whole.

Our parameters are as follows plus $100 a year (capped at 10 years)

 

have steady access to the void

Obviously the float tank is a crucial aspect to our way of life. Your people will rely on you to get them access.

Whether you have a commercial float tank center or one in your house, you’ll have to be well versed in hosting floats for folks.

And of course we’ll expect you to continue your practice as well.

 

have Spent time in the void

Hopefully you will have had 100+ hours in the float tank yourself, documented to the best of your abilities. This is so we can be sure of your dedication to the practice of floating. Think of it like getting your black belt and forming your own school of float-jitsu or something.

You will no doubt be doing a lot of float coaching in order to help people get to that state of relaxation that truly lets them experience the power of the float tank. So put your time in!

 

BE ABLE TO TRANSLATE THE VOID

In order to effectively execute the missions of COTV, you will need to be able to relate your use of the float tank and the Void to your own spiritual pursuits. Be able to speak openly about them and be open to people speaking to you about theirs. If it comes up.

If you choose to become specified, approach it from a Protestant perspective let’s say, that’s your choice, but remember that you must be open to all forms of religious belief and that COTV is essentially the rugged, individual pursuit of spirituality. So no dogma, no conversions and be open to having anyone stop by with opposite or different belief systems.

 

Have you heard about our books?

Now that you know about the prerequisites, we’re going to need you to pass a test.

Becoming a minister has advantages
