TEMPLE OF SHAKTI

Body Temple Guidelines

1. The foundation is, and always will be, unconditional Love.

2. Speak from the heart and from your direct experience when possible.

3. Listen with respect, compassion and curiosity and notice how your body feels as you share. Notice how it feels when you listen.

4. See others with respect and in their power and beauty regardless of what is arising in you.

5. No need to rehearse before it is your turn.

6. Simply listen, no advice giving or responding to what someone shares (unless that is asked for.).

7. Be aware of projection, both your own and others and take care of your own body, drinking water, and inviting enjoyment and enthusiasm of the process when possible.

8. This is a sacred space for healing wounding as well as uplifting and shining the gifts inherent in every human being. Practice being gentle with yourself and others when needed.

9. Everything shared here stays here.

10. We honor one another soul to soul, human to human and are using our time together to heal and grow in our unique offerings in the world, for the good of all beings. We acknowledge that what someone else is sharing is also an opportunity for healing and opening in our own experience because we are all reflections of one another. At the same time we respect each individual’s life experience which varies according to many factors including race, class, gender, societal and systemic racism, classism, ableism, gender inequality and oppression, as well as many more nuances not listed here.

11. Feel free to be as real and authentic with your sharing but also mindful of who you are speaking to.

12. We are here to strengthen our unique spiritual connections and the ways that we relate. To inspire and uplift our service to continue healing ourselves as we give our gifts generously.

13. We believe in ruptures and repairs in relationships and misattunement as an opportunity to grow with an agreement of communication, even if we disagree. We hold a brave space as opposed to just a safe space for we are here to take responsibility for ourselves and our experiences taking us out of victimhood and blame and into sovereignty, self-love and service.
