The Garden Temple

- this Golden Sanctuary,
a Creative Communification Come-in-unity,
Lava Love Land!

We embrace a vision of equality and harmonious living with the Earth, Spirit and ourselves. We are caregivers of this Earth and guardians and nurturers of this sacred connection between Spirit and ourselves. We hope to create a safe and secure judgement-free sanctuary for spiritual growth in an atmosphere of love, respect, family and friendship.

The Garden Temple is a Rainbow Family Come-in-unity devoted to spiritual growth through interactive, participatory art, theater and music events. We aim to reaffirm the connection between Earth, Spirit and ourselves through active celebration including dance, song, prayer, meditation, use of entheogenic substances. It is our hope to make Spirit and soul visible in the experience of and participation in creative presentations.

The Garden Temple congregation supports the use of this sacred land for refuge and sanctuary for the sacramental use of entheogenic substances. We have created this sacred space for the private, public and shared use of cannabis and other spiritual entheogens as a spiritual media. This land and all religious practices that occur there are protected under United States provisions, acts and laws guaranteeing the free exercise of religion.

Our purpose is to love and respect the Earth, Spirit and each other and to actively demonstrate that love and respect through interactive celebration. We host dog, alcohol and aggression-free music, theater and arts events for the whole family. We hope to provide a safe and secure space for Spiritual communion for all people sharing our beliefs. We support the enthusiastic celebration of Spirit at these events.

We are committed to spreading our message of love and respect though practical acts of kindness towards each other and the Earth. We perform community out-reach to meet the needs, both spiritual and physical, of those in need- by providing information about the spiritual use of entheogens and our mission, by working with families and especially single mothers and children, by encouraging active participation in celebration of spiritual sacraments by persons with disabilities, by embracing human diversity, by spreading our mission to spiritually uplift those in prisons, jails, hospitals, nursing homes, etc. We host events and regularly scheduled activities that encourage non-denominational worship of Spirit. We support the beliefs, dogmas and practices of newly formed spiritual beliefs by maintaining complete religious freedom as guaranteed us by our rights as humans, Hawaiians and Americans. We believe our lives, liberties and happiness depend upon and include the beneficial use of Cannabis Hemp and other entheogenic substances. The cultivation, creation, possession and use of Cannabis and other spiritual entheogenic substances are NECESSARY to insure our individualities, human dignities and our connection to Earth, Spirit and ourselves. The use of Cannabis as a Spiritual Sacrament is MANDATED by our religion for communion and spiritual growth and healing. We exercise our religious freedoms though our enthusiastic and interactive participation in art, music and theater events with the use of Cannabis.

We demonstrate our commitment to love and respect the Earth by supporting alternative energy source development. We hope to build a fuel alcohol still to independently meet our energy needs. We hope to continue to build gardens so that we may feed ourselves and share our bounty with others, independently.

The Garden Temple is directed by focalizers and advised by a vision council as a Rainbow Family entity. Vision council advice offered to the focalizer(s) is reached through consensus. We envision a peaceful and non-violent solution to all our challenges. To that end we apply a problem-solving model and work towards ho’o’ponopono- making things right.

The Garden Temple is a Chameleon: she is YOUR dreams, YOUR vision; constantly changing to fulfill the dreams and visions of wanderers and truth-seekers! The Garden Temple calls us in love to celebrate love and Spirit. She asks that you receive her love with respect and reflect it in beauty and a joyous celebration of life and Spirit!!!
