I seed a vision:
sisters being in circles globally,
in the frequency of the Priestess Presence Temple.
I see: a crystal light grid ignited by our presence.
We remember our ancient, sacred arts.
We hold space for transformation, healing.
We listen, dream, and catalyze new stories.
We devote ourselves to the nourishment of our soul
You are invited to join us, over 4 months, for our Temple Guide Training where you’ll receive practical skills and support so you can confidently facilitate temple circles in your community.
Perhaps you’re one of the sisters who is mission-driven, devoted to serve in others’ healing, and full expression, but desire structure to guide you through an idea—all the way to completion so you can serve in the most impactful way.
Maybe your heart is calling you to lead temple circles, but you don’t know where to start.
We’ll take you behind the scenes of the temple where you’ll access 30+ years of Elayne Kalila’s knowledge of facilitating temple circles, so that you can offer them to your community feeling confident, aligned, and in integrity.
Join the temple’s School of Sacred Arts & Training
for an exemplary opportunity to:
- Remember who you truly are
- Embody your essence+ the poetry of your soul
- Walk as love
- Share your gifts with others by creating temple circle
DO YOU YEARN FOR IN-PERSON CONNECTION?
DO YOU ACHE TO GATHER WITH YOUR LOCAL SISTERS?
There is a deep need for a place to be with one another,
to receive collective wisdom, and nourish our souls..
Many of you yearn to create local circles so you can connect with sisters … and return to
being with others in blood, breath, and bones. To be in connection with the deeper poetry
and artistry of who we are.
We’ve listened. Our answer is this training.
It will support you to dream into, awaken, activate, and—very practically—create a local
temple circle so you can be with your sisters in person (or online).
Our Hearts Yearn For...
Intimacy
Sisterhood
Connection to the Goddess
Our Souls Desire To…
Be in our embodied wisdom
Awaken our hearts and listen to them
Remember our healing ways
Celebrate and support
Mourn and grieve
Dive into ecstasy
Birth extraordinary visions of the world we chose to midwife
Sister, we are invisibly woven together in the heartbeat of the Mother,
navigating our way through the seen and unseen realms,
side-by-side,
cheeks touching,
hands holding each other’s hearts.
We have done these things, always, as Priestesses.
WE NEED CIRCLES OF WOMEN—NOW, MORE THAN EVER
...To re-member our inherent leadership styles rooted in the core values and grounded practices of the Divine Feminine.
...To re-member that each of us are unique; when we fully understand and express our sacred skills, we’re able to hold temple in a powerful way …
giving permission to other sisters to do the same.
...To re-member that through the eyes of one another, through community, we find ourselves.
...To re-member the sacred art and sacred technologies of temple. These sacred technologies make the difference between having a circle and
being in temple.
What is the difference between being in a circle and being in temple?
Well, we’ll cover that in the training … but here’s a peek into some temple qualities—
qualities that aren’t necessary for circles.
Temple Qualities:
- Creating Sacred Space
- Use of Archetypal Ritual, Ceremony, Structure, Flow, and Resonance
- Invoking the Divine—Offerings, Rites, and Sound
- Sacred Agreements
- Temple “Gates”
- Silence & Empty Presence
- Mythic Storytelling
- Guided Meditations & Journeys
- Divination & Oracle
- Sacred Theatre
But … I’m Afraid to Hold Temple Circles…
This is common, love.
Within our sisterhood, we have challenges, wounds, fears, and old stories around what it
takes to simply be part of a circle, let alone begin organizing a circle.
These wounds mirror our core sacred wounds globally.
They can look like these fears:
- Not being enough—trained/experienced enough
- Not being resourced—lack of knowledge, skill, time, or finances to pull off a circle
- Shining too brightly/or not being noticed at all
- Jealousy/comparison/competition
- Power dynamics/hierarchy/being in charge/not in charge
- Rejection & lack of trust: Not trusting intuition or how others will receive you
Based on your combination of priestess leadership styles, you may have some very specific fears arise—like worrying you’ll over-commit or burn out.
We will go through all of these during our training.
You’ll recognize your inherent leadership strengths that will support you to confidently hold circle for others … while acknowledging some of your challenges so you can
work with them when they occur.
When we are clear about our purpose and gifts … and have training ... we can create
transformational temple spaces to be in communion with others with confidence.
Why Does This Matter?
When we are in temple, we part the veils between the worlds, invite the presence of our higher Essence self and the Divine, then create the conditions necessary to listen and receive wisdom from Source, as She lives in each of us.
We have always gathered together - whether to mark the birth of a new baby, mourn the loss of a loved one, celebrate a young girl’s first moon, or “queen” a woman moving into her post-bloodmoon power years.
We have gathered to listen to the dark of the moon, amplify (and charge with expansive vision) during full moons.
We have marked the passing of the years—the ever spiralling growth of ourselves and our world.
We have been the oracle that shares dreams from the womb of a world being reborn … and we have brought healing not just for ourselves, but for our communities.
Are you ready to discover and remember what it means
to “priestess” as a verb
...in a very practical and hands-on way?
Are you ready to receive the training that will give you confidence
and a step-by-step approach to guiding temple circles?

ACCESS OVER 30 YEARS OF ELAYNE KALILA’S
PROFESSIONAL & SPIRITUAL TRAINING
During this 4 month training, you’ll access 30+ years of Elayne Kalila’s knowledge, professional and spiritual practices, core tenets, and principles combined to help you create a powerful temple experience for your community.
You’ll experience all the information she’s gathered as a sacred priestess activist, transformational ritual artist, psychotherapist, drama therapist, teacher, and clinical supervisor.
Elayne Kalila has worked globally, in diverse settings, from prisons, psychiatric wards, street theatres in Berlin, war-torn hospitals in the DRC Congo, and orphanages in rural Nepal.
Her priestessing has reached many people—including entrepreneurs and women survivors of torture and rape.
Elayne Kalila has uniquely woven priestessing into a grounded spirituality, combining skills and practices rooted in western clinical psychology (Jungian), married with ritual, ceremony, and temple work.
She is now ready to share with you the wealth of experience, gathered over a lifetime, of developing structures and practices that work across all cultures and in all settings ... as they are universal priestess practices.
Elayne Kalila felt called to bring all of these teachings together
to weave an exemplary training
that can be your stepping point
to offer your own ministry in the world.
Will You Join?
Elayne Kalila's commitment to going the distance as a loving and powerful facilitator, who tells the truth with compassionate and precise skill and holds you to your highest, sets her apart as a teacher of teachers and a leader of leaders. Kalila was an instrumental part of my training to become a 13 Moon Mystery School Focalizer. She nurtured me with clear, consistent guidance and was fiercely devoted to my rising into my own self-trusting and sovereignty. The training I received from Kalila led to me confidently holding my own in person and online circles. She taught me, not only through her impeccable direct feedback but from witnessing her masterful skill at holding others through challenging moments and celebrating their strengths and essence beauty again and again. I trust her discernment and ability to navigate with grace and wisdom to guide others through complex energy dynamics that arise in groups and circles. I feel so blessed and gifted by her lionhearted presence as my teacher and sister on my path of personal empowerment. I am forever gifted by having witnessed her and learned from her what a living example of "embodied love in leadership" really looks like.
Sarah Eden Davis
Elayne Kalila has an amazing gift for creating sacred temple space. Whether in person or online, she’s able to create an incredible ambiance that drops everyone right into the heart of the sacred feminine and allows us all the access the divine together.
There’s actually quite a LOT of learning and “behind the scenes” planning that’s required to create a space that’s truly sacred. And Elayne Kalila is an incredible Guide who skilfully paves the path for others who want to create their own local temple circles.
If you are seeking to create a deep and soul-filled temple circle - instead of a more surface level “chatty” group that doesn’t drop to the depths that are possible - then you’ll want to learn from Elayne Kalila. She’s truly masterful at her craft, and she can show you how to enter the mysteries with grace and ease.
Devaa Haley Mitchell- Co-Founder of The Shift Network
What Elayne Kalila offers is distinctively different than what other programs offer, in that she is not trying to fill you with more information “about” the Divine Feminine, rather she is assisting you in emptying out and being a divine living embodiment! She is transmitting the mysteries as a direct energetic experience, metaphorically much the same way a young Balinese dancer learns temple dance by being held right next to the body of the elder dancer to FEEL the transmission in her bones. THAT is something that cannot be taught with the mind. One has to have emptied out enough to be an open channel for direct transmission to move through. Elayne Kalila has done that work in consciousness and you can FEEL the difference in its effects.
Another gift that Elayne Kalila has immense skill with is being a systems analyst. You might ask “What does that have to do with priestess/ing?” Actually a lot! She has the immense gift of being able to look at how to break down any given skill set, in this case: “The Temple Guide Training in the Art and Craft of Priestess/ing” into practical ways to train and embody those skills. This is possible because she holds a fine tuned balance in her inner male’s gift with creating clear structures and her inner female’s gift with offering feeling transmission for direct experience and embodiment of those skills.
If your heart is moved to do this work with Elayne Kalila, I can genuinely recommend it because I know you will find delight and with your commitment, the fulfillment your heart seeks.

We are awakening, igniting.
Will you take your place as an amplifier of this temple’s resonance?
AMPLIFY THE ENERGETIC THUMBPRINT OF PRIESTESS PRESENCE
We light and illuminate a crystalline geometry:
the flower of life activated,
awakened as the
6-petalled rose at the
heart of the Magdalene
From Elayne Kalila’s combined, integrated experiences, the Priestess Presence Temple was born … and there’s a reason the name of this temple is Priestess Presence.
Throughout Elayne’s training and professional experiences, she recognized archetypal patterns and Divine Feminine practices help create the foundation of temple.
These patterns and practices can be applied in all circumstances of life—from parenting, to running a circle, to training, to intimate conversation with a friend or beloved.
It’s an energetic thumbprint that can be easy recognized and felt when you are in its presence.
It is the imprint of this temple.
Priestess Presence is a defined pathway of remembrance
of our sacred role as midwives
to ourselves,
to each other,
and to the world.
THE ENERGETIC ESSENCE OF PRIESTESS PRESENCE
The same essence—or frequency—that creates “Priestess Presence” (or the clear presence of priestess energy) is infused in this training so that when you step out into the world, you amplify this energetic signature … in all you do.
The archetypal energy of “Priestess Presence” is at the heart of all healing and once understood, experienced, and mastered, becomes the structure around any offering you create.
So, when you train with the Priestess Presence Temple, you receive the knowledge and experience Elayne Kalila re-membered and infused into the temple to create conditions needed for deep healing and transformation—not just for you individually, but collectively.

LEADING YOU ON THIS JOURNEY:
LETTER FROM ELAYNE KALILA
I am Elayne Kalila, Gatekeeper and Focalizer of the Priestess Presence Temple, a dedicated temple of the 13 Moon Mystery School™. I have the great privilege and challenge to steward and guide this temple.
I have a mission to serve in a more impactful way … you might feel the same. Perhaps you, too, are mission driven, devoted to serve and heal.
...But there is also a way that we are needing to be held in a grounding structure so that we can amplify our vision and be accountable to what we create.
Our Priestess Presence School of Sacred Arts does just that.
Priestess Presence—the essence of this temple and school—is a defined pathway to remember your sacred role of being a changemaker.
When more and more sisters come together to run temple circles, more and more women will awaken their awareness of their purpose, their essence, and walk the path of love.
I believe walking the Priestess Path is about being willing to dedicate ourselves to deepening our practice so that we can be present and serve the world.
I am passionate about opening the ancient mysteries of the Divine Feminine into our modern lives so we can all step more fully into serving from a place of love, presence, and purpose.
Because of the teachings of the Divine Feminine through the 13 Moon Mystery School™ (where I trained … and this temple is part of that lineage), I have been able to priestess in an extremely vast array of environments; from some of the most dangerous and violent areas of the world, like the Congo.
In those places, I have supported women to activate and remember their truth and power. I offer a real path of presence, empowerment, and transformation through awakening the Priestess within you.
That is why I am delighted and honored to invite you to join me to amplify our blessings, be in sacred circle with sisters, and bring the Goddess into the modern-day context of your life.

REPARATIONS
The Priestess Presence Temple & School of Sacred Arts is located on the unceded and traditional territory of the Nisenan Tribe.
We honor this ancestral land and its original people. We give thanks for our ability to hold the space for this temple on their sacred land.
The area of Nevada City, California, where the temple resides, was repeatedly taken from the Nisenan people, without compensation or regard for the lives of the original people; and now, they have no land left.
The temple acknowledges it is on the ancestral homelands of the Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan Tribe. The Temple acknowledges we are settlers here—that we live, love, and work on land the Nisenan never ceded.
In order to help amend the tragic legacy, the temple provides a monthly contribution to recognize the sovereignty of the Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan and acknowledge their historic relationship with this land, their ancestral homelands. We give to CHIRP—CALIFORNIA HERITAGE: INDIGENOUS RESEARCH PROJECT. It was created to research, document, preserve, and protect California Indigenous Nisenan culture.
We are committed to translating spiritual concepts into devoted service and walking our talk.
The temple commits to being an anti-racist, inclusive space that honors all diversity. This includes: looking at and dismantling our privilege in all aspects of systemic racism, white supremacy, institutional/cultural imperialism, while alchemizing the truth that we, too, are One (without bypassing).
As such, we feel it’s crucial to be informed on the past and ongoing consequences of colonialism.
We encourage everyone to learn about the history of the lands they’re on and support Indigenous resistance here and across Turtle Island.
