The Priestess Presence Temple
Statement of Intent
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.
As embodied priestesses, we stand for…
- Inclusivity, equality, reparations, healing
- Being part of a diverse, devotional community that is richly interconnected & held by a transformational, alchemical, ceremonial container
- Being a bridge between worlds
- Transformation of personal and collective shadows—through contemplation, ceremony, and ritual
- Walking the path of love
- Stepping into the alchemy of temple space with reverence and fierce compassion
