Temple of the True Inner Light

Common card · No. 409511

The Temple of the True Inner Light (TTIL), also once formerly known as the Native American Church of New York (NACNY), is a small psychedelic church or cult that was founded in 1980 and has operated for decades in the East Village of Manhattan in New York City, New York. It employs the legal psychedelic drug dipropyltryptamine (DPT; "The Light") as its eucharist and believes DPT and other psychedelics to be God in physical form. The group is not actually Native American in any way, but an earlier and much larger incarnation of the church called the Native American Church of New York operated between 1976 and 1979 and primarily used peyote. The temple is said to have been the most publicly visible psychedelic church in North America for many years. Its public location has long-since closed, but the church continues to exist in some capacity as of the mid-2020s.
