The Temple of Sacred Stories
 Our community currently consists of my husband and myself, along with an interested friend here or there, who are looking to establish communal shared space to develop sustainable food and energy solutions while building a sea-faring sailboat on which to continue our adventures.
We consider ourselves to be open-minded seekers of mystery and are looking to begin a temple dedicated to energy healing, sexual freedom, communal sustainable family living on the land (and the sea!), continuous spiritual development and guidance for youth and young adults. While my husband and I do not currently have children, they are a possibility for our future and we welcome families with children of all ages to seek us out.
High Priest/Priestess, teachers wanted!
While my husband and I both consider ourselves to be adept and knowledgeable in many of the arts and skills necessary to work competently in a temple, we are definitely interested in speaking to anyone with experienced in energy work and the arts/skills necessary to act as a Priest or Priestess in a temple dedicated to sacred service.
