THE WHITE TEMPLE OF GRIEF & SUSTENANCE
Saturday March 23rd, 2019
7pm to 10pm
The river is flowing and taking me with it.
I am battered on the stones of lost hopes.
The white water wipes me clean of who I thought I was,
bereft of what I will become.
Oh sharp longing for a port, a pole,
somewhere to rest with compassion
until the waves return.
Grief arrives in many flavors and stages. It takes the time it takes to heal. There are some losses we will never get over yet we can become more because of them. Grief can be experienced emotionally, psychologically and physically. We were never meant to grieve alone.
If you are experiencing grieving or loss of any kind join us for The White Temple of Grief & Sustenance Ceremony.
The White Temple is heartfully guided by Priestess Francesca Gentille Somatic Recovery Specialist, Shaman, & Clinical Sexologist.
The Ritual design is drawn from Cross Cultural Spiritul Traditions, Shamanism, and Buddhist Tantra. Included are guided visualizations, nourishing touch (non-erotic), heart open soul gazing, empathic communication, and potluck feast.
Francesca Gentille is an ordained minister, initiated Shaman in 5 traditions, award winning author and certified Clinical Sexologist. She travels, counsels, teaches and leads healing psychoshamanic ceremony & retreats around the world. https://www.facebook.com/francesca.gentille, http://www.francescagentille.com/

CORE VALUES OF THE TEMPLE:
ALL LEVEL CONSENT: Consent practiced on ALL levels (time, energy, money, emotional intensity, communication etc).
ALL GENDERS TANTRA: Tantra Practice formatted to include ALL genders.
INCLUSIVITY: Inclusivity of all races, genders, abilities, perspectives, education.( etc etc)
COMPASSION: Tantra, which is meant to include The ALL, actually being taught to include dark and light Eros, and COMPASSION for all that is. NOTE: Sometimes in having compassion, we work with where someone IS and collaborate with them to develop into the NEW Paradigm!
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY: As children we were powerless and trapped. As adults we are practicing owning & taking empowered responsbility for our yes, no, wait, negotiations, changing choices, feelings and thoughts.
BOUNDARIES: We can have compassion AND boundaries. We can hold empathy AND distance, or complete a relationship. We can hold compassion AND put consequences in for behaviors that are not safe, sane, and consensual.
NON-VIOLENT COMMUNICATION: Learning and using practices in communication that take the war out of words.
TRANSPARENCY: We value gracious revealing as a pathway to connection and wholeness. We value transparency personally, and organizationally.
