Sibyl Sessions
“Yeshe’s readings and guidance make my unconventional life possible. She hears and understands me, and when I explain myself to her I feel understood and able to understand myself better. Life can be uncertain and mysterious but I feel held in the mystery with Yeshe’s help. She is so warm and illuminating, nonjudgmental and sincerely caring—I feel empowered in life with her in my corner. We’ve worked together now for quite a few years, and as our relationship deepens, I feel a sacred symbiosis. I know that even if we aren’t in touch, she is thinking of me and I think of her. I am always in awe of her powerful and clear voice. She is a sacred person to me and my husband, and our lives’ compass is steered so sweetly with her assistance. I am grateful.”
Candle & Prayer Services
The Mt Shasta Goddess Temple offers prayer and candle services at our altar for those going through personal difficulties.You can choose either one or more 7-day novena candle services per month on the Temple’s altar. Priestess Yeshe will prepare a special candle for your needs, will text you a photo of your candle when she starts it, and will text you a report of your candle when it is complete. If you are unable to afford to join the Temple or to purchase candle services, you may submit your petitions free of charge to the Order of the Black Madonna to be lifted at their monthly Dark Moon service.
Retreats & Pilgrimages
The Mt Shasta Goddess Temple offers private, guided retreats and small group pilgrimages to sacred destinations in Mt Shasta and around the world. Past pilgrimages have included Ireland, Glastonbury, Tibet, China, and sacred sites within the United States.
Group pilgrimages and retreats are kept intentionally small, with groups of 6-8 women for each trip, and are generally appropriate for women of diverse ages, body types, and abilities. Please check the guidelines for each trip to determine if it will be suitable for your needs and comfort.
