The Honey Temple
Honey Temple
Come Dance, Sing, Lament and Nourish in the Tent of Oil and Spice
January 16-18 | February 27- March 1 | April 17-19
Come to one or all three ~ While the form is the same the theme for each will change
Honey Temple is a multi-day ritual gathering devoted to reviving a culture of Goddess remembrance. Through drum, voice, movement, ritual trance, and nourishment, women enter a living temple to metabolize emotions, awaken eros, and restore embodied belonging. Rooted in ancient feminine mystery traditions and held with spacious flow, the Honey Temple offers a place to be held, fed, and woven back into the collective web, leaving renewed, resourced, and reconnected to sisterhood, the living earth, and the indomitable pulse of life itself.
