What we’re about
Welcome to Sol TERA (Temple of the Mother)
At Sol TERA, we practice and teach Ancient Shamanic Wisdom and Plant Medicines of our Earth Mother. Teaching the Rituals and Ceremonies of Shamanic Energy Healing from our ancestors in the high Andes to modern day Reiki and Art therapy to name a few. Honoring all plant life and their gift of medicines. How to propagate, cultivate, preserve native plants and learn about their many medicinal uses.
I have the honor, opportunity, and responsibility like that of the aforementioned gardener of plant life, to that of the process of spiritual growth. Therefore as a spiritual gardener, the need to embrace this process is vital to becoming successful in the care and nurturing of our spiritual garden. As a spiritual gardener, acquiring constant understanding, knowledge that point one to spiritual gardening successfully. Through the “pointers”, understanding the rich soil in all of us is the soul, the real essence of who we truly are. Though that ‘rich soil of the soul’ exist, digging deep, turning the soil removing any illusions, weed-like attributes, tendencies, or actions that hinder our growth in our spiritual garden. Taking responsibility for what we plant is part of being the caretaker of our spiritual gardens. Often, especially in the beginning, we embrace every spiritual concept, idea, teaching, label. This though can amount to over ‘watering’ our spiritual garden. When this happens, we need to stop watering for a moment, be still, allowing the ” roots of our spiritual plants to absorb ” the watering. Lastly, the planting in our spiritual garden requires the ‘sunlight of love’. Love is unconditional. This light empowers the growth in the spiritual garden. It is important that in embracing, welcoming in this light, we shield our spiritual garden from the mind’s description of light.
Sol TERA is a place of living in Ayni, Ayni is the way to live one's life. Live your life in balance, the beauty way. I think of Ayni as a conscious life. Consciousness is the desire to understand oneself and love oneself so much that you become a clear vessel without hidden motives nor shame and blame. As your love for self grows your love for all of spirits creations grow too. It is a profound respect for life in every moment.
