The Goddess Temple and Temple Gardens are under
construction and will be places of sanctuary and meditation for women
and men of all faiths who accept the feminine divine into their lives.
The Temple is dedicated to the Goddess in all
of Her aspects.
The
Goddess Temple and Temple Gardens will be built and run by Sherry Brown
and Janet McCulloch, who both live and work on the property.
Please visit this site often for updates and for the announcement of the
opening of the Temple.
Inspiration for the Temple
On the last day of Janet's visit to the Goddess Temple, she ask the Goddess of Avalon for a personal favour. As a response, Janet was ask to build a Goddess Temple in Canada.
This Temple is a realization of that dream.
Donations
The Goddess Temple Canada will
gratefully accept donations of building materials including stone,
lumber and fencing and garden materials of seeds, plants and rockery.
The Temple Gardens will be herbicide and pesticide free and we are
striving to use as many native plant species as possible.
Messages
From Janet
Humans have lost the essential connection with the natural world that
our ancestors recognized and maintained. There is a desperate need at
this time for a return to ancient spiritual traditions of our sacred
connection to earth and sky. We must strive to re-learn the principals
of balance in life and to understand how the materialistic excesses of
the modern world have thrown the balance out of alignment.
With enlightened vision, we must see the Earth's suffering and heal by
restoring the balance through love, compassion, and guardianship. Humans
have come to take for granted the economic prosperity , technology and
unlimited natural resources that have been exploited as a "right" and a
privilege. But, these blessings have not been used responsibly for the
good of our planet and the life it supports.
The human race urgently needs to face up to a new age that will not
support continued domination over nature. The mass of humanity must
relinquish its materialistic relationship with Mother Earth to survive
the crisis of a world no longer willing to suffer the aggression.
My contribution to this end is to build a Temple for all people to come to for sanctuary and meditation. To be still and listen to what the Earth is telling us is the beginning of this journey.
