    Where Are You on Your Journey?

    The Awakening

    You Are a Sovereign Being

    The Divine resides within you. Whether you call it God, Source, Universe, Spirit, the Most High, the Creator, the Ancestors, the Great Mystery, Jah, Allah, Yahweh, Brahman, the Sacred, or simply Love, that infinite intelligence lives within your very being. You have always had the power to connect to it.

    At Temple Mother Earth, we hold sacred space for you to remember your own wholeness. Through Earth Medicine, ceremony, and community, we help you reconnect with the divine wisdom that has always been yours.

    "Find your way back home to the wisdom and divine intelligence that exists within your entire being."

    You Are a Sovereign Being

    Our Origin

    In 2020, when the pandemic brought the world to a standstill and fear kept people isolated behind closed doors, we opened ours. There was a great need for community, restoration, and connection to the God within. What began as intimate sacred circles during the darkest days of COVID grew into Temple Mother Earth · a sacred sanctuary where sovereign beings reconnect with the Earth, honor the divine within, and walk the path of transformation together.

This sacred work honors the timeless relationship between humans and the Earth, offering safe containers for those ready to step into a deeper level of their journey.

    “After my first Kambo ceremony, I released grief I had been carrying since childhood. I walked in heavy. I walked out lighter than I have felt in twenty years. The container Temple Mother Earth holds is unlike anything I have experienced.”

    · Maya

    Kambo Ceremony · 2024

    “Cacao opened my heart in a way I did not know was possible. I came in skeptical, expecting nothing. I left in tears, finally understanding what it means to feel held by community. I now attend every month.”

    · Marcus

    Cacao Ceremony · 2023

    “As a veteran, I had tried everything. Talk therapy, medication, meditation. The Sacred Series gave me back something I did not know I had lost · my sense of belonging on this earth. Dr. Sonatta and King James saved my life.”

    · David

    Veterans Sacred Series · 2024

    “The Sacred Tea Ceremony taught me how to slow down. Six years of burnout dissolved over the course of one afternoon. I left with a stillness I now carry into every part of my life.”
