In the Priestess Presence Temple, we are devoted to…

Remember who we truly are; bless ourselves; bless others; and bless all experiences as initiations.

 

We vow to…

Be an embodied priestess by walking the Path of Love.

 

As a temple, we are being called by all of our ancestors to…

1. Re-knit & strengthen the pattern of diversity within Oneness.

2. Weave multi-lineage “scarves”: Compassionate, timeless, kind, and loving, reminding us of the beauty of this world, living in the spirit of all things: the anito, the awen, the väki, the mana, the àṣẹ, the shakti, the holy spirit, the shekinah.

3. Understand that this requires balance & a restoration of divine truth.

 

As a temple, we are being called by all of our ancestors to…

4. Integration of non-duality: Including lessons from history, while striving toward intimacy, inter-dependence, collaboration, incubation, evolution, and courage.

5. Ceremonialists: That in ancient times, women of all ethnicities held sacred, ritualistic, ceremonial space. Now, we gather together this lifetime, to do the same; our work is to do this in the world.

6. Interconnection: We are all one, all interconnected, all wondrous, all precious, all worthy, all powerful, all free, and an emanation of divine love: animals, plants, elements, stars, moon, people, earth.

7. Alchemy: That the temple, every experience, and every living thing is held in a divine, alchemical container.

8. Temple: This is an alchemical container that provides opportunity for transmutation & transformation—in truth, clarity, peace, and harmony—for ourselves & our world.

9. Ceremony & ritual: These are powerful bridges between worlds, creating lasting transformation. Stepping into the alchemy of temple space with reverence and fierce compassion.

10. Sovereignty: We are sovereign beings and thus, it is our individual, divine right & responsibility to create the world that we really want to see.

• Being a bridge between worlds
• Transformation of personal and collective shadows—through contemplation, ceremony, and ritual
