I was feeling a deep longing in my heart

I was longing for connection, for truth, for authenticity, for REALness, a place to show up where nobody was trying to fix me. 

I was feeling I was too much, too open, too un-intellectual, too sensitive, too this and too that. Trying to fit in to the systems, to the frames that just felt too narrow - where it was just too painful to live.

I hid, I withdrew, I shrank, I competed, I gossiped, I judged. I did not like myself so much anymore...

I felt there was no place where I could be all of me.

Then I discovered that there was a space. A space where I could come to ease some of that longing.

I met Women's Temple.

And after years of practicing in temple and facilitating temples, this WOMEN'S TEMPLE PORTAL is now being born to offer this space to other women that have the same longing. 

A place where all of you are welcome. A place to be honored and celebrated for who you are in your fullness.

Women's Temple is a sacred place of remembering

Women have been gathering in circle since the beginning of time. Now we are the ones having this privilege of coming together with women all across the globe.

In Women’s Temple we gather to practice. Practicing to connect, to feel, to stay awake in the midst of everything that is happening in the world today - practicing to remember.

Remember who we are - remember love, beauty, peace, softness, connection, care - remember our greatness, our light. Remembering that life is sacred. 

Women's Temple is a Goddess Path - meaning we are also using Goddess mythology from all traditions as maps to practice with.

This is not a place to fix or to be fixed - it’s a space of allowing what is to be, and to let life flow through us. There is nothing you have to do or be. 

What you long for is already inside of you - we just have to re-connect to it, unclench what we are holding and re-discover life in it's essence.

Welcome to step into this space as if you are entering into a temple. A temple is a sacred place to pay reverence to life and to connect to the sacredness in life.

You are invited into a space where we can meet each other as human beings, as women, beyond our personal stories and beyond everyday small talk.

We meet in a space of total respect and acceptance of ourselves and the others.

We meet to be open, to be authentic, to be honest. We meet to express, to rest, to listen, to share, to embrace, to acknowledge, to just be, to be nourished. We meet to practice.

We gather in Women's Temple to practice

The invitation is to meet in presence with all there is.

We meet in totality – giving space to all of us to be whole. Welcoming all the aspects of us as human beings - as women; the beauty, the power, the vulnerability, the shame, the playfulness, the gratitude, the willingness, the hopelessness, the pride, the weakness, the sweetness, the sadness, the joy, the anger, the fear, the guilt, the expansion, the freedom,  the sensuality, the lightness, the humbleness, the generosity, the ugliness, the light, the wildness, the kindness, the loneliness, the purity, the shyness, the strength, the boldness, the confidence, the doubt, the belonging, the craziness, the grace, the darkness.….. and carried by it all – the love, the respect and the acceptance.

We meet to mirror each other, to recognize and honor ourselves and each other in all this that we are, in this deep journey of life – as open as we wish and/or dare to be.

In the Women’s Temple we meet with the belief that every woman has the resources to take care of herself and to be completely responsible for herself and her own process. That said, we also meet in the temple to be together and to support each other.

You will be invited into different practices, practices of awakening, of staying awake in life. Some practices are with music and movement, some with conscious words, some with respectful and loving self-touch and of each other. 

Embodied spirituality

The general invitation in Women's temple is to give yourself that space and permission to really drop deeper into yourself. Listening to yourself - meaning you as a whole being, you as your body. Giving space to what emerges. Listening and following the inner impulses. Letting yourself express, through your movements, your emotions, through you as a body – and surrender to, and trust in, the moment and the flow, in openness and acceptance - without analyzing and the «need to know why». The body as a portal to presence.

More about me

I fell deeply in love with this way of coming together in a circle as women already the first time I met it in 2015. It was different from everything else I had tried and/or heard about. The embodiment practices and the «bring it all into the circle» was what attracted me the most. With time I have seen and felt the strong impact these practices have on me. I feel so much more at ease in my life, connected to who I am and what I am here for.

In 2017 I did teacher the training to facilitate Women’s Temple. I have facilitated temples since then, in person in Norway and Portugal. Since the pandemic I have also facilitated Temples online ongoing.

In 2014 I made a huge shift in my life - I had had enough of the busy-bee being exhausted, trying to fit into the frames of the ordinary school system in Norway - I quitted my safe work as a teacher, my partner since many years and my “one and only paradise”-house. 

I was ready to begin a new life - really living from my heart. Open to life. Not searching for anything, just being open. Then I met a Portuguese man at a huge Biodanza congress and I felt - YES - I knew this was possible. So, a short year later I moved to Portugal - really living from my heart. 

Here I am now, still living with this beautiful man - facilitating Women’s Temples and Biodanza.

I love life. I love my life. And I am deeply grateful for you being here.
