FAQ
What is a priestess?
That’s a complex question. Start here
What is feminine energy?
Another great question. We usually spend 6 months describing it! Read more here
Is this a religion?
We are not a religion. We don’t tell you what to believe, we encourage you to discover your own spiritual balance and use your own internal guidance, to find your unique path. We help you tap into the intuitive and healing gifts you naturally already have, which may be applied to any spiritual path or tradition. We value spiritual community, sisterhood, creating connection, and being of service to the highest good. How can we help each other be the best we can be, how can we show up for one another? We see a connection to all aspects of being—spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical—as well as a connection to natural cycles, connection to each other, and connection to all of nature, life, and the planet.
What is your lineage and history?
How to make a long story short? Mellissa Seaman‘s spirit guides were telling her to gather women together in priestess circles. In San Diego, in 2004, the first group came together and, Spirit-led, were initiated as Temple Priestesses…. (to be continued.)
When will the next session of Temple Priestess training begin?
It’s difficult to plan ahead when energies are shifting as dramatically as they are these days! We do our best to get the word out when a specific plan is set in motion. The best way to hear about it is to join our mailing list here.
Can I join the current training session?
No, it’s a closed program for the 6 months, there is no late admittance. This serves to contain and build the energy between the women that come together to work together, creating a safer space for developing trust, and deepening the experience.
Do you ever include men?
Once in a while we include male partners or men from the community for special occasions, but not that often. Mellissa Seaman and Richard Bock facilitated a Tantric Priest program here in San Diego in 2006, and we keep in touch with as many of the priests as we are able. Why be exclusionary with “women-only” workshops and programs? Read more here
Are there other ways I might work with you or get involved with the temple priestesses?
We occasionally schedule community events, free gatherings, workshops, rituals, and ceremonies that are open to others. The best way to stay on top of announcements is to join our mailing list here. You can also check our calendar. Both Jennifer and Kaliani offer private healing and coaching sessions, as well as their own workshops and events separate from the Priestess program.
Do you offer anything for folks not local to San Diego, California?
It is our intention to offer intensive retreats and online programs, but these things are still brewing on the back burner. If you would like to keep tabs on what we’re up to, please join our mailing list here, you may opt-out at any time. And of course you are welcome to bookmark this site and check back from time to time.
