Goddess Temple Herstory

IMG_2236.jpeg

Are you interested in raising a Goddess temple or sacred space?

SSPROMO_2020_Raising modern goddess temp

I'm Here...

Let me Support you.

Modern day mystery schools & sacred spaces are becoming common. But how do you actually raise a Temple dedicated to Goddess Spirituality, Gaia, Ecology & Activism?

​

My Name Pia Gaia,

I am a trained Priestess of the Goddess and have made it my life's work to create sacred spaces, and support visionaries creating them.

​

My background is in community development, eco village design and sustainability.

​

I'v travelled around the world exploring how people grow and create sacred spaces that are thriving and healthy.

 

I offer one-on-one priestess sessions in personal support, and I offer consulting (with a team of dedicated wisdom holders behind me) on creating sacred spaces.

​

I'm here to help in any way I can. Your vision is important, Your dream is possible. Let's make it happen. â€‹
