Temple as Commons As a place of worship, the temple was originally a commons—a place of equitable access, use, and spiritual sustainability for everyone in the community. Special rituals and rites are developed around the needs of this local community, resources are stewarded by our council in an accountable way, and conflicts and transgressions are dealt with compassionately rather than abruptly. This was ‘medicine’ for all who came to the temple, supporting their healing and consciousness development.

Our intent with Temple Medicine is to create a modern-day ‘temple’ of healing and empowerment (within a cultural rather than religious context). Temple Medicine is a place that helps people live with more joy, love, and passion.
