...it takes a village
​​
The Temple of Belonging is not just a gathering—it’s a village. A remembering. A place where we find each other again, across time, across stories, across all that has tried to keep us separate. It is the work of many hands, many hearts, many voices coming together to create something that feels like home.
​
It's a place to put down our armor, to the best of our abilities, and receive the gift of each other, right here, right now, as is, in this moment.
​
Here, belonging is not a given—it’s something we build, something we practice - together. It’s not about fitting in, it’s about being seen for who you truly are and still being held. We know that healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in community, in the in-between spaces, in the quiet moments when we realize we are not alone.
​
And we are not interested in creating spaces where only some belong. We are actively weaving a world where every woman who feels called here is honored, valued, and included. That means we are committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility—not as a box to check, but as a living, breathing part of who we are. We know that true belonging requires listening, learning, and unlearning—because healing is both personal and collective.
​
Here, we celebrate and honor all stages of life—child, maiden, mother, crone, and ancestor. Every woman, in every season, carries medicine. Over these four days, we gather not just to receive, but to offer, to witness, to tend, and to co-create.
​
This is a place where you don’t have to prove yourself. Where you can exhale, take up space, soften, and be held. Where wisdom is not hoarded but shared. Where the village is not just an idea—it’s real, and it’s right here.
​
Welcome, kin. Your presence matters. Your story matters. You are not too much, and you are not alone.
Kids & Girls Camp
Children (ages 0-15) are welcome to join TOB through enrollment in our Kids & Girls Camp.
Boys under the age of 6 are welcome.
​​
Kids Camp (ages 0-6) offers 7 hours of professionally staffed childcare each day, providing a safe and creative environment for little ones while allowing mamas to fully participate in workshops, rituals, and yoga. This ensures a clear and intentional space for the depth of programming while giving mothers the freedom to drop in, connect, and receive.
​​​​​​​​​
Guided by wise and caring mentors, Girls Camp (ages 7-13) will weave together play, storytelling, creativity, and embodied practices that support young women in stepping into their strength, confidence, and self-expression. Through ritual, nature connection, and shared experience, they will be invited into deeper self-awareness while being supported in a community of peers and elders who see them, honor them, and celebrate their journey.

​Nourishment as Ceremony:
The Food of The Temple of Belonging
​
At The Temple of Belonging, food is not just fuel—it is medicine, communion, and a sacred act of care. We believe that nourishment is an essential part of the healing process, and we honor the bodies of the women who gather here by offering meals that are deeply intentional, vibrant, and crafted with love.
​
Three times a day, we gather to eat, to receive, and to be nourished—not just in body, but in spirit. Our meals are designed to be organic, nutrient-dense, and deeply satisfying, free from gluten and dairy, with thoughtful consideration for modern allergens and food sensitivities. Every bite is an offering, prepared with reverence for the land, the farmers, and the hands that bring it to life.
​
We also proudly serve high-quality animal protein at least once per day, honoring the ancestral wisdom of balance and sustenance.
​
At the heart of this nourishment are our brilliant head chefs, Adrienne Hasler and Aleya Burg, whose artistry in the kitchen transforms each meal into an experience of belonging. Their culinary vision ensures that every woman who sits at our table is not just fed—but truly nourished, tended to, and held.
​
Because here, food is not an afterthought—it is part of the ritual, part of the medicine, part of what makes this gathering so deeply whole.
