Kristie Cook

The Temple Guide Training program has transformed me and the work I am meant to do in the world. It has given me focus, clarity, and, most importantly, confidence in my gifts and offerings. I not only now have a clear vision of my greater work, but I have the tools, wisdom, and faith in myself to deliver it.

Elayne Kalila, as always, brings so much love and coherence to the space, infusing it with Divine energy. And through our mentorship circles and one-on-one work, Elsa Alegria has shown me by example and through coaching how to be the bridge between the Divine and the human world, how to truly tap into my inner wisdom and channel that of the Goddess to intuitively bring forth the medicine and insight needed. I’d been led by Divine intervention to enroll in this program, and I know it is a major turning point in my life, one of those markers of “Before TGT and After TGT.” I am forever grateful to Priestess Presence and the School of the Sacred Arts for providing this opportunity.

Amanda Starshine

Elsa Alegria is an amazing guide who holds you with gentle compassion. She is completely relatable and offers so much safety to allow each woman to ask questions and receive the guidance needed. She does all this so effortlessly as she brings you in, gives you the tools and support you need, and makes you feel like you can do anything. Then after working with her you realize you can! Not only has she led this program, but she’s also been a guide in other successful aligned programs. I highly recommend Elsa Alegria as a mentor of mentors

This is for you if you're called as a ceremonialist or sacred feminine leader and you...

Are ready to refine your space-holding skills & create powerful gatherings—with powerful support & guidance

Wish to profoundly serve others while expanding your network of like-hearted sisters

Weave your medicine into sacred work, in service to love

Have the resources & capacity to be challenged in an intensive mentorship so you can grow personally, professionally, and spiritually

Desire to create grounded, transformational, inclusive temple circles/sacred spaces in your business, family, and/or community

Yearn to be taught specific spiritual—yet practical—skills that will increase your capacity to be lovingly grounded, present, focused, and centered—no matter the situation

Less teaching.

More transmissions.

This comprehensive certificate training supports you to remember and learn the ancient skills and sacred technologies of temple circle.

In the first 9 months, you’ll receive practical, step-by-step teachings, tools, structures, templates, frameworks, and activations to support you in the role of “Temple Guide.”

Get ample guidance to help you become adept at creating the conditions necessary for transformational experiences to take place—experiences that go way beyond what one would have in a workshop or lecture.

These skills include learning to ground, focus, and center yourself—and the “space” you’re in—with your full, loving presence.

When this happens, you’re able to listen to, trust, and transmit soul messages from the Divine that can create lasting change in yourself, your community, and the collective.

Words fail me at the level of change that’s created in my life as a result of the Certificate Level Training.

…I’ve studied with a lot of very talented and gifted people … but I feel so held in this circle and have great, great gratitude for the level of mastery that Elayne Kalila brings: the way she models everything I want to be in the world.

I can’t even tell you the number of times where we’ve been on a call or I’ve been working on a piece of homework where I said to myself, “I’m so glad I said yes to joining this mentorship program.”

It’s … more than I ever could have believed possible.

I see Elayne as such a master at this work and a beautiful holder of the sacred feminine and the divine feminine in the world. Thank you for allowing me the privilege of being part of it.

Flora Ware

“I chose the certificate level because I wanted credibility. I was ready to take that step. I gained a very clear structure on how to plan and guide temples. I now have the skills to create coherent curriculums, and to actually bring those into my sacred business.

As a result, my work has definitely deepened and changed, I gained the confidence and the skills so that I can hold a deep potent sacred space, where the women that I work with can deepen into their healing and transformational process.”

Jeriann Hillier

“I learned to manifest and bring in the new in a very feminine way. I learned so much from actually grounding my circles, and bringing the work into action in a very concrete way. I experienced my power. I experienced my innate capacity to hold the space and to access my own wisdom, and to bring other women into contact with this beautiful, powerful capacity in themselves. It was amazing to have this experience.”

My journey through sitting in circle with Kalila has shown me what authentic presence looks like and how to create the kinds of Temple Circles required for the deep transformation under way at this time in our humanity. I have gratefully felt loved, valued, and challenged!

Tanya Lynn

Kalila is a master Facilitator. Her alchemical processes are like nothing I’ve ever experienced. She pulls together extraordinary women!

Jay Eve

Elsa has been a guiding light. Her ability to create a nurturing space has allowed me to deeply connect with my wounds, unlocking the stuck energies and enabling profound healing. I’ve gained newfound confidence and the willingness to embrace imperfections and explore new horizons. In just four months, I’ve grown in ways I couldn’t have imagined, such as stepping in to offer my voice and my medicine in a high holy day ceremony within the larger Priestess Presence Temple. I am grateful beyond words for her love and guidance.

Why become a certified temple guide?

This is the first step to work inside the Priestess Presence temple as an ETM mentor

Expand your network

Invoke the Divine & trust your intuition—no more "imposter syndrome"

One of the most profound experiences you’ll have from being part of the Certificate Level is that you’ll begin to truly recognize yourself as a priestess … eliminating any doubt you have that you are truly that.

Your work will deepen in such a powerful way, that you’ll finally trust your intuition and transmit messages of transformation to those you’re with.

You’ll learn to trust and lean into working very intuitively, using all of the priestess tools you’ll learn on this journey.

My mission is to serve in an impactful way … you might feel the same. Perhaps you, too, are mission driven, devoted to serve and heal.

…But there is also a way that we are needing to be held in a grounding structure so that we can amplify our vision and be accountable to what we create.

Our Priestess Presence School of Sacred Arts does just that.

Priestess Presence—the essence of this temple and school—is a defined pathway to remember your sacred role of being a changemaker.

When more and more sisters come together to run temple circles, more and more women will awaken their awareness of their purpose, their essence, and walk the path of love.

I believe walking the Priestess Path is about being willing to dedicate ourselves to deepening our practice so that we can be present and serve the world.

I am passionate about opening the ancient mysteries of the Divine Feminine into our modern lives so we can all step more fully into serving from a place of love, presence, and purpose.

Because of the teachings of the Divine Feminine through the 13 Moon Mystery School™ (where I trained … and this temple is part of that lineage), I have been able to priestess in an extremely vast array of environments; from some of the most dangerous and violent areas of the world, like the Congo.

In those places, I have supported women to activate and remember their truth and power. I offer a real path of presence, empowerment, and transformation through awakening the Priestess within you.

That is why I am delighted and honored to invite you to join me to amplify our blessings, be in sacred circle with sisters, and bring the Goddess into the modern-day context of your life.

The Priestess Presence LLC “Temple Guide Training” is a training to support the development of skills to guide temple circles. You agree to assume all risk of choosing the right participants, holding non-ordinary ritual space, and creating events that can activate people’s fears, traumas, and deep feeling states. Guiding people in non-ordinary states is not for everyone. We do not advise that you do this, and this training is not enough of a practicum to assure that you can do so safely. Abide by all regulatory guidelines in your area. We do not use mind-altering substances in this work and advise you to avoid them completely as well. While I have worked as a psychotherapist, this is NOT a training in psychotherapy. We will cover how to create space for divine miracles to occur, but it’s not a mental health treatment or even therapeutic space you are holding. That is why I show you how to make sure that only healthy, well-adjusted people come into this sort temple circle.

You are agreeing to assume the risk around this, and to hold Priestess Presence LLC as harmless for entering space that can be charged with emotion. This training is meant to add to your existing training in holding space for transformative work professionally, not replace it.

This program is not designed to treat or diagnose any psychological disorders. If you have any mental health issues please consult with your medical practitioner before joining the program. It requires breaking through old patterns and ways of being – an initiatory process that can feel uncomfortable. Our work affects many levels (mental and emotional), is rigorous and not for those who suffer from mental disabilities, depression, have suicidal episodes or are presently in therapy.

Each participant is responsible for their own actions and boundaries. The Priestess Presence LLC Temple Guide Training/The 13 Moon Mystery School and its founder, Ariel Spilsbury, and Focalizers Elayne Kalila Doughty and Elsa Alegria Perez Dean, are not, and will not, be held liable for any assumed damage that is deemed to occur at any time.
