Welcome dear sister, welcome dear brother to the Temple of the (H)Earth
“We are not teaching you to run and hide. We are coaching you to stand up as a Woman and Man and follow your path to be, to be authentic, to speak your inner truth and to pursue your path… We need to heal ourselves from the past and follow our heart as rays of light… Because we are light, strong lasers of light …”
The Temple of the Earth is a womb for healing, embodiment and empowerment, including ancient and modern rituals, ceremonies and initiations, healing, movement, arts & creativity. Our main focus is to create a healing flow, sowing and planting seeds for the New Earth.
We join our powers and our live experiences to create a larger network and foundation to coach women and men on their true healing paths. Our own initiations and long vital processes to be genuine and authentic human beings, we trespass with love, care, commitment and dedication to Empower persons. As each man or woman innates her own space, roots herself and claims her right of existence, we enrichen the world, and make her shine with beauty, love and light.
Our place of power
A precious domain of 7ha, with two buildings, a small lake, a river, 2 water reserves, lots of parking space, a camping place, an open kitchen and sanitary blocks, and a swimming pool. Behind the property there is a nature reserve Vale da Nora, of 700ha. Easy access with private or public transport. It is situated at five minutes from the picturesque village Aljezur, 10 minutes from Amoreira and Arrifana, and twenty minutes from the magnificent Carrapateira, the virgin Atlantic Westcoast.
We have a guesthouse, office, community kitchen, comfortable sleeping places in yurts (Mongolic large tents or Ger) and sanitary blocks, Alojamento Turístico and a beautiful Temple Yurt (10,6m) for events, retreats and workshops. The domain has a swimming pool, a wooden and infrared sauna. We offer the space and opportunities to receive larger groups.
Our back garden is the nature reserve of Vale da Nora. A unique place on earth with indigenous trees as cork oaks, medronho bushes (berries delicious to eat during the months October-November and they also make a strong liquor of them) and eucalyptus trees, wonderful for the smell and the wood.
Our property has fruit, cipres and olive trees, next to trees that carry the beautiful yellow mimosa flowers of which the smell already in January announces spring.
A magic place to come to rest, retire an resource yourself, meet nature as a mirror and to re-connect with earth water sun and air/wind in the colors and smells of a pure and authentic Algarve.
Our center is managed by us, with collaboration and support of our Temple Family, international volunteers and local workers.
We have a sweatlodge and a temazcal (latin american sweatldoge)., a fire pit and a Medicine Wheel which is empowered by Ancestor crystal stones.
Five Guardians keep this Sacred Space
