WOW!!! What an amazing time this has been for all of us here at the Phoenix Goddess Temple! In a few short day, we have moved from our location on 68th Street to our new location at 10601 N. Montrose Way, right at 59th & E. Shea Blvd.

Many thanks to those who gave of their time and financial support to help us relocate to such a beautiful temple home.  Our new site has 6 chambers with room to grow, as well as ample off-street parking for guests, healers, initiates and class students.  The city of Phoenix does not have a standard zoning for churches in homes, use is allowed on a case-by-case situation.  Our location is 'zoned by right' as a home, church and school. Since our largest room is less than 750 square feet, we are not required to have sprinklers, American Medical Association ramps / bars etc.  Our parking ratio is acceptable with 40 off-street spots, allowing occupancy of up to 120 people, far more than we've ever  had in attendance at any of our events (Yay! room to grow). 

We give extra thanks to our friends at Sedona Temple Ben & Ambika,  Temple Heroes Franklin (twice) David O Isis, Artemis, King Tut, the Purple Dinosaur, the first book of the new testament aka Matthew and others who made 'anonymous' gifts of suport.  Special gratefulness to Rev. Jimmy Sails for smoothing the way with our lease with the new Christian landlords, who were just getting to know about our ministry when the news broke. 

Big KUDOS to Radha & Leela for giving great media interviews.  We all gave 90 minute to 3 hour interviews on life force, the history of the Goddess Temples, the 'blank spot' in the Bible about Jesus and Mary Magdalene and what they were up to in the missing 20 years between age 12 and age 32.  Although we gave demonstrations and clear tours of the transformation chambers, the altars of light, the temple hug, etc. only a fraction of our sincere mind/body/spirit teachings actually ended up in the stories.  The ABC reporter showed up without warning with cameras rolling, and we had to make a quick decision to share the story vs. letting them film a closed door.  WE believe that an 'open door' ministry of being out and proud with our beliefs is the way for our culture to really accept the important work we do.

We would like to still find 3 moreTemple Heroes to participte in our  5 hours = 6 fundraiser.  This will help us with some building projects that we have in the new facility.  Call the Gate Keepers and let us know you'd like in on this win / win limited time offer.

WE also have big heart-ons for the small group of men who stepped in to secure our website and online advertising /outreach, it appears that the stite is secure in cyberspace and is no longer in any danger of disappearing.  Techies in Washington state and AZ helped us republish the site after it had been 'hacked' into disappearing 4 times in the last 4 weeks!

Much affection and love to all who offered prayers, email and calls of support to us during our transistion, we are determined to 'life the Mother to kiss the Father", in our new Tantric reality!

FROM LIFE FLAME, our web publisher
One of the most unusual things to happen to us recently was the appearance of several members of the media at our former  Temple location while we were still practicing there.

Fact: Tantra is a Religion and as such our practices are fully covered under the First Amendment of the Constitution of the  United States Of America.

Fact: What we are doing is a LEGAL expression of the Tantra Religion.

Additionally, the majority of comments that were received fell into two categories: the first being positive ones in the nature of support for what we were doing; the second group were neutral comments, people basically stating quite correctly, that what we did as part of our Religious Beliefs and Practices did not concern them. There were some people, of course who had negative comments but they were in the minority.

The biggest effect this had on us was that we had to move immediately because the location we were in was not large enough for a Church. That's right, the authorities were concerned about the size of our building and lot, and not concerned with what went on inside of it!!! Of course, this is how it should be, but it's great when "The Authorities" are concerned about zoning codes made for people's safety rather then trying to dictate how people Worship and Serve.

Here are the top FAQs we are hearing on the phone:

Q:Are you still seeing Seekers at the address on 68th Street?
A: No. There was a zoning issue. We are only seeing Seekers at 5902 E Shea Blvd in Scottsdale, and at the SedonaGoddess Temple.
 
Q:Have your hours changed?
A: No we still are here Monday through Saturday from 9AM through 9PM and Sunday from 11AM through 9PM. Some Healers will take appointments earlier or later than those hours with advance notice.

Q:Did your phone number change?
A:No we still have the same phone number 480-275-4953

Q:What about the classes?
A:The classes will resume at the end of March and will then continue on from there. A big change is that the Woman's Circle Men's Circle will both be held on Thursday Nights since we now have room for two classrooms. Afterward there will be time for the two groups to socialize. Friday nights will continue to be the night for Sex Ed for all, our co-educational sex class.  Saturday nights continue our Social Night and will include Puja,  Cuddle Parties, Sexy Spirit Salons, Indigo Tantra Parties, and ??

Q:What about the Website? Is it up and working?
A:Yes the website is up, and working, and it is being improved upon every day. While it is not finished yet (it is still a work in progress) it is light-years from where it was, after the hacker got to it. Please check it often to watch it blossom before your eyes.
