A private, decentralized spiritual house and international ministry devoted to creating a sanctuary where living souls deepen their relationship with the Creator, experience restoration, discover their Original Birth Purpose, and express that purpose through reverent action.
Founded upon love expressed through action, neutrality, and divine communion in Puerto Rico and across the globe.
The House of Portela pursues its mission through the responsible use of spiritual, educational, philosophical, and scientific knowledge, practices, methods, and technologies. These resources are dedicated to support spiritual development, expand awareness, cultivate wisdom, and allow communicants to freely study, practice, embody, and express their sincerely held spiritual beliefs.
We believe every living soul carries inherent dignity, sacred worth, unique gifts, and a purpose that deserves to be protected, cultivated, and fully lived. We honor the spiritual path of each living soul without coercion or unnecessary interference, fostering a peaceful, judgment-free sanctuary in which living souls and families may seek truth, healing, and alignment with the Creator.
Fourteen core commitments guiding our ministry, fellowship, and regenerative stewardship.
Direct relationship, prayer, meditation, and conscious connection to the omnipresent Father.
Discovery and faithful fulfillment of each living soul's divine calling and sacred reason for being.
Spiritual development, expanded awareness, and responsible expression of higher consciousness.
Harmonious, peaceful living founded upon cooperation, shared responsibility, and mutual respect.
Safe shelter, nourishing food, clean pure water, health, education, and restorative rest.
Supporting mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health through compassionate restorative care.
Cultivating self-reliance, moral stewardship, and steadfast mutual support among communicants.
Active fellowship, character guidance, skill apprenticeships, and intergenerational education.
Responsible stewardship of the land, organic cultivation, permaculture, and natural resource care.
Protection and restoration of the inherent spiritual honor and inviolability of every living soul.
Empowering communicants to develop their unique gifts, crafts, professions, and divine talents.
Remaining peaceful, nonviolent, and neutral in earthly, commercial, and political disputes.
Creating productive endeavors where labor serves the living soul, community, and the earth.
Moving living souls from passive belief into a life of tangible, manifested service and faith.
Through our work, we seek to help living souls move from isolation into connection, from suffering into restoration, from confusion into purpose, from dependence into responsible self-governance, and from passive belief into a life of embodied faith.
"Our purpose is not merely to speak about love, healing, truth, or service. Our purpose is to give them visible form."Read Full House Charter
