Sunday: A Gathering for Temple Members & Seekers
Join us in giving thanks for Nature, Community and new possibilities.
We will be gathering in a potluck style this Sunday, November 17th, 3-5pm, at a Member's residence, 4540 South Ave W., to utilize the kitchen and dining areas for ease and comfort. Please bring a dish or snack to share - whatever intuition guides!
This is an opportunity for existing Members to mingle, and for those who are interested official Membership to inquire about services and complete the signup process.
We will be sharing about the updated Monthly Membership Packages, what is included in each tier, and how it will help support our community efforts and developments.
Regarding community development, updates, and goals:
We are in conversations about potential opportunities for renting or leasing a space in town to host many of our community meetings, meditations, events, and Sunday Services. Thank you for your patience as we continue to develop facilitation and hone our community offerings.
One of our long-term goals is a dedicated facility or shared space, where we would be able to offer space to other local groups with similar values and interests. A model for this is presented in this article; please feel free to read it at your leisure, as it discusses an actively working space similar to our own long-term goal:

In this article, "The Portal Community Center" is similar to what we are envisioning, as it is their active location "where members meet, that is dedicated to serving Entheogenic-focused groups.” Their regular "Satsangs" are the equivalent of our public Sunday Services.
This would be a foundation to help provide valuable services and support for the community, to help engage, educate, and expand offerings. It would also require financial support from our community, by utilizing resource and support services, and by considering making tax-deductible nonprofit contributions to the Temple. Monthly Membership offerings and tiers, as well as donations at regular public Services, support both long-term goals and short-term development.
Deepest gratitude for your support and participation as we continue to grow and expand our offerings and services. Who knows what the future holds?! We are very happy you are here.
We will keep you updated on developments, and we hope to see you this Sunday!
