Vanderstank Church

Vanderstank.church

Perhaps the greatest and most infamous of the Family's many web projects, Vanderstank.church is a stunning, fully interactive 3D replica of the fabled Church of Vanderstank and its many attached regions. The site launched in 2014 with the initial floorplan of six floors of six rooms each, but has grown exponentially since then as our developers work tirelessly to replicate recent visions and dreams reported by senior Members and Church Leaders. Now boasting over 200 rooms in total, the Church can now be an all-day exploration and meditation experience.

Vanderfield

The Vanderfield

Not content with online-only membership experience, a senior member in Arizona helped launch the Family's first and largest real-world experience—the Vanderfield, a green, off-the-grid, self-sustaining commune that operates on and off throughout the year and provides countless opportunities for real-world research projects, safe psychedelic experiences, and humane ways for wayward or indebted Members to work off their debts. As our fifth season winds down, the Vanderfield is now accepting applications from Family Members of all ranks with a Family Reputation of Exquisite or higher as we prepare for the 2025 season.

Vandercoin

Vandercoin

The Family's dream of creating a fair, honest, no-nonsense, corruption-free society was finalized with the introduction of Vandercoin, the Family's unique and fully centralized cryptocurrency. Issued by and accepted by the Family alone, and backed up by tangible shares of Thought Power within the Church, Vandercoin's unique codebase makes it the only cryptocurrency that can be officially repaid through ritual ceremonies, and the only cryptocurrency whose value can be expressed as a fraction of itself.
