A Taste of the Wild: Nature Is Our Teacher

As Nature lovers, our programs aim to serve Dharma, burn Karma + love brightly.”

We are all a part of a vast living system of the highest intelligence, where Nature is our teacher.

At The Wild Temple, we connect with the plants, the elements, and our own innate nature for guidance. By connecting with plants, we gain allies and support along our journey. Through Tantra and yoga, we learn to connect with our Sage wisdom within, equipping ourselves with tools to navigate life.

To embrace our wild and beautiful nature, we must connect with it and taste it! Taste the wild! In doing so, we remember our wholeness and dispel the cultural amnesia that has left many of us feeling sick and disconnected. This reconnection to our wild nature and learning to be guided by its intelligence—both within and all around us—empowers us to find our voice, build our capacity, and gain the courage to live authentically. This is the essence of the medicine journey in all our classes at The Wild Temple.

Did you know that some herbs have incredible abilities to strengthen your lungs for better breathing (pranayama)? And some plants can be used to prevent indigestion or fatigue so that you actually feel good enough to physically practice yoga. There are plants to help you steady your mind so that meditation becomes easier and you drop into a supreme zone of bliss. Pretty incredible right?

Our Mission + Values

Here at The Wild Temple school, we value supporting individuals and communities in reclaiming their power. We aim to share Tantric Science with students, who when ready, can bring the skills, tools, and transformative wisdom out of the classroom (or out from Nature) and into the world.

We value the uniqueness of every individual and that becoming a yoga professional, flower essence practitioner, or tantric herbalist is to become the highest version of themselves while fulfilling life’s purpose. It is our mission to guide those steps and support the journey.

What we stand for is awakening consciousness and relational connection while dismantling racism, toxic new age spirituality, patriarchy, and colonialism. A huge passion of ours is empowering the feminine while helping to heal the masculine so that the lines can be blurred and a balanced, fluid society takes its place.

Balancing action with rest, radiance with receptivity and programs that have a beginning and an end are all ways we honor the pulse of Nature at The Wild Temple School.

May we all continue to unfold the magic and truths of the cosmos and forgive ourselves of our imperfections. 

May we walk together.
May we understand one another.
May we prosper in each other's prosperity.

The Himalayan Sage Tradition

"Spirituality is a complex science that entails a comprehensive study of the intrinsic nature of the soul in this relationship both to the external world and to Universal Consciousness.

When this science is not coupled with contemplative or meditative techniques for attaining the actual experience of higher reality, it is philosophy or metaphysics. When it is based on faith alone and is accompanied by superstition, dogma, customs, and cultural activities, it is religion. When it is accompanied by practices which, although difficult to grasp intellectually, have the power to unveil subtle and often indescribable realms of inner experience, it is mysticism. 

Only when the science rests firmly on a philosophy of life, incorporates ethical and moral values that are indispensable to health and well-being, and provides a workable system of self training leading to self transformation can it correctly be called spirituality. This is the Tantra Yoga of the Himalayan Sages" -Inner Quest
