Crossing into the Mysteries is a members-only orientation program that will help you become a dynamic contributor to the Temple of Ara community. It will help you discover whether or not the Temple is your spiritual home and it will help you discover a little more about yourself. The principles of Immanent Divinity show us that not only is the Universe sacred, but so are each one of us. It's important to do a little self-reflection and gain clarity before embarking on any journey.

We are a global community

We're pleased to say that our community - because we have members from all over North America - has graduated from a local, only-in-New York City group to an online, virtual, more global format. We happily discovered that our members relished the opportunity of communing with like-minded people from various parts of the globe. And so, we're glad that technology has allowed us to evolve and meet the needs of our members.
To keep everyone connected, the Temple offers members-only meetups, along with complimentary access to our guided full moon rituals. In addition, we are also working on a "journaling with Mother Nature" program, which will also be complimentary for members.
We offer members who complete Crossing into the Mysteries the opportunity to share thoughts, experiences, questions, comments on our private community page on SLACK.
We hope to offer in-person workshops and experiences again, if our community expresses a need.
For those who wish to take their Nature Magic learning to a deeper level, our training programs are offered at a discount to our membership community (although again, one does not need to be a member to enroll).
We hope you join our global village!
