Our Mission
To remember that belonging is a community practice.
In today’s world, the longing for true connection often goes unanswered, especially for women navigating the challenges of a society steeped in masculine norms.
The Temple of Belonging is our response to this yearning—a sanctuary where women are invited to reconnect with their inherent wholeness and truth. It’s a place to remember a time untouched by fear and division, and to help revive it together.
- Our Vision: To create a thriving community of open hearts and grounded spirits. The Temple isn’t just a gathering—it’s a homecoming to the wild beauty of kinship and the rich, evolving essence of womanhood.
- What We Offer: This is a space where grounding and inspiration coexist, nourishing you on every level—spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Through meaningful conversations, shared laughter, and collective healing, we celebrate the simple joy of coming alive together.
- Why It Matters: The Temple reminds us of what’s always been ours: a loving community ready to hold us, from the fertile earth beneath our feet to the kindred souls around us. By rediscovering the safety of being seen and supported as our truest selves, we unlock the power to learn, give, and grow in profound ways.
Come, gather around the fire. The warmth is waiting for you, and so are we.
Our gathering and community are centered around 4 main ethics:
01
COMMUNITY THAT FEELS
LIKE HOME
What does your body feel like when you feel at home? What softens, what lands, what blooms? The Temple of Belonging is a community, a celebration and a collaborative exploration of what is truly needed for women to have a home in the world and with each other. Here we remember that we are at home within ourselves, with this diverse and beautiful community, and within the loving arms of this mother earth.
02
SPACE TO BE SAFE BEING YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF
Your authentic self and true nature is the greatest gift that can ever be given, and here we do our best to co-create a space where you can really shine, rest, laugh, cry and be all that you have always been, knowing that you're welcome and loved. When women can stand in the radiance of their true selves, the world shines a little brighter, and we could use that medicine now more than ever.
03
WOMEN AS THE HEART(H) OF CULTURE
Women have always been the center of home, community and the creation of life. When we return to the center again, we remember the old ways and how they feed the new, so that the healing of the feminine is not some big "to-do", but rather a sweet song to sing with those who are by your side and on the path. Women are the hearth of culture, and it's time we lean into tending this fire in a brave and beautiful way.
04
LOCALITY AS THE FOUNDATION OF SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY
In a world that has become so globalized, re-localizing is a radical and sustainable act. We value tending to the roots of womanhood, community and economy here where we live, in the greater PNW. When we remember how much vitality, inspiration and healthcare we already have within our communities, we can share our resources, kinship and wisdom with greater ease and generosity.
