FRIDAYS CLOSEST TO NEW MOON

LIVE | VIA ZOOM

Noon MST/ 2 Pm EST

In Women’s Temple, we practice embodying, healing with, and empowering ourselves as The Sacred Feminine. 

We utilize the timeless technologies of Women’s Ritual, Women’s Temple Practice, and Women’s Folk Wisdom Traditions. 

In Women’s Temple, we –

Reclaim what has always been ours, feed our trust in women’s intuition, cultivate presence, listen to that calling from the deep…

…and discover the courage to follow it.

We rest, remember, and revel in Beauty. We return to the circle to wildly nourish and fill our cup. We give and receive 

We bring forth, from within womb & heart, hip to hip.

We come home to our bodies, the earth, and each other.

We reweave ourselves in, rejoice in womanhood, decolonize our bodies, commune with the plants, heal with the elements, and simply practice…

{Recordings provided for those who can’t join us live.}

Here, we receive ourselves and each other with honesty, bravery, and the profound vulnerability that we’re all thirsty for.

We restore ourselves and are renewed by the power of the plants, the elements, and our ancient women’s ways.

Women’s Temple is a deep drink from the well of The Real, a soulful space where the Feminine can flow freely, be fully expressed, soothed, rejuvenated, and rediscovered in its purity and power.

Women’s Temple is a time to rest and revel in beauty, and explore ourselves as the wild, wise, and whole women we are.

Co-created by a constellation of fierce-hearted women, from all over the world – Women’s Temple is our gift to ourselves, to each other, AND to our world.

 

 

The Ways of Women’s Temple ~ 

 

  • FEMININE EMBODIMENT PRACTICE .:. Through Feminine Embodiment Practice, we experience our bodies & emotions – as doorways into greater presence, which is the greatest gift we have to give to our world. Utilizing movement, Ritual, conscious breathing, and sound – we drop-in below the mind, into a vast reservoir within. Here, we find the resources we need for moving through our lives supported, relaxed, aligned, radiant, and grounded. Through Embodiment Practice, we untie ourselves from the our misguided loyalty to the harsh voice of the Inner Patriarch, decolonizing our relationship with our bodies piece by piece, step by step. It’s a practice! And through practice, we come to know ourselves more and more as the undomesticated, authentic beings we are meant to be. The teachings of Emotional Alchemy are central to our practice, enabling us to harness the elemental potency of our feelings – as they live, move, and change inside the body. Learning to utilize emotions as a source of renewable energy, we revitalize ourselves, and experience a fresh version of empowerment that is sourced from the inside.

 

  • WOMEN’S CIRCLE .:.  Central to Temple, is the loving heartbeat and timeless technology of Women’s Circle. Together, through our ‘women’s ways’ – honest inquiry, council, and much more – we welcome all parts of ourselves home, to be felt, seen, and known. In this skillful container of growth, rest, and soul-inspiration, we experience a profound sense of belonging with ourselves, each other, and something greater than us all. The vulnerability, intimacy, and depth of Women’s Circle ways challenge us to bring forth more of our presence, truth, and genuine experience, into the whole. This befriending and integration Returns us to the Beauty that we already are. And through the process, we learn to see ourselves and each other with new eyes. These are the empowering, all-seeing eyes of the Matriarchy that we co-create. This unified, compassionate consciousness ripples out into our world, shaping us as part of the solution humanity is waiting for.

 

  • HERBAL & EARTH-CENTERED HEALING .:.  Together in Women’s Temple, we come home to the fact that we share one breath with all living green things, and that we mirror the Earth’s and Moon’s cycles and seasons. In turn, we experience the infinite support that is right here for us, every day of our lives as women. Women’s Folk Herbalism is the foundation for our Earth-Centered Practices. Through this approach to Healing and Preventative Medicine, we take command of our own wellness, and re-member things that have been untruthfully divided. In Women’s Temple, we experience the empowerment of communing with our plant allies through some or all of the following – Plant Brushings, Herbal Healing waters, Working with Fire and Resin for Healing and Prayer, synchronizing with the Earth’s and Moon’s cycles, and more. Through our interconnection with the healing properties of the plants, elements, and cycles, we learn to more effectively maintain our well-being on all levels – without the intercession of patriarchal systems. Now is the time to reclaim this knowledge. Join us!

“Marianah Jade is rooted in the deep feminine mysteries and she embodies a unique blend of fierce focus, devotion and vast compassion. Her uncompromising dedication to authenticity and depth in her work is powerful and refreshing medicine for those of us who have had enough of replicas and plastic shortcuts. Marianah Jade’s mission and the further unfolding of her offerings in the world, gives me hope, for us all.”  – Chameli

 

Katie Wise 
Singer, Songwriter ~ Katie Wise and Bhakti Explosion 

“I found Marianah’s groups to be the one space where I could let my shoulders fall, my guard drop, and my true emotions surface. I felt that I could say and feel anything, and it wouldn’t be deemed “wrong” or inappropriate. I loved connecting with the other women, and knowing that I am not alone. It is wonderful to find a space where authenticity is appreciated and tears are seen as a sign of strength. I am grateful to have crossed paths with such a wise, compassionate, and deeply spiritual teacher at this time in my life.” Katie

Martha Hartney

“…Here I discovered that I’m not alone as a woman and that my internal guidance systems are not unique to me but are shared by all women. I found that the inner voice speaking truth to me all along, is heard by all of my sisters in one form or another. I found myself willing to submit more fully to this knowing…I found compassion for other women’s ‘lost-ness’ in a world dominated by the masculine, and…a woman whispering our secrets back to me, reminding me of what we know. Gently, sensually, sacredly inviting me into my body, into my femininity, my creative center. I found a guide, Marianah Jade, who has devoted herself to understanding the subtle rhythms of the feminine that float under everything that is, often without our notice. She helped me see that in those subtle waves exist a vast, thronging passion of love and devotion and acceptance. Patiently, oh so delicately, she reintroduced me to my magical core, calling out my true nature and showing me places where I can tap into my subtle powers, my cycles, and the wisdom of our foremothers. My wish would be for all the women I love to experience this tribe of womanly power and love that Marianah nurtures. Here we find a home for the weirdness of our womanhood, and give time and space for our powers to heal, process, transform, express, create, and develop ~ so that we all experience the divine feminine within us, and allow it to change the world…”  – Martha

Lesley Glenner 
Owner, Founder ~ HoloBeing Holistic Wellness Institute 

“Marianah Jade…offered me a reflection of myself that was beautiful, whole, and goddess-like. She assumes the best and honors those in her presence in ways subtle and grandiose ~ creating a container of sacred intimacy, feminine attune-ment, skillful transformation, and fun. As a bride to-be, I can think of no better way to step into an embodied feminine experience of myself. The practices Marianah offered have continued to serve me in my life and relationships. I have been more aware of my power as a woman, I have been more available to my partner when I honor my needs for feminine practice, and I have helped other women in transition, to remember their feminine obligations to their truth. I would not hesitate to recommend this to ANY woman who wants to feel good in her world.” – Lesley

“I had no idea what to expect when I signed up…and it was exactly what I needed, infusing me with grounded-ness and joy. Marianah opened my eyes to the power of the moon, which is something I’ve rarely even considered before…and oh the power of the moon! With her loving guidance, I felt it’s open reign like never before and connected into an altered state of receptivity, truth, and raw power. Marianah is a true master at what she does. She is earth mother, female connector, woman empower-er, spirit guider, and leader. This is an experience I want again. Thank you for leading such a necessary event!!!” – Cynthia
