The Enlightened Temple
Release! Renew! Rejoice!
Enlightened Life Temple invites you to join us for a sacred Winter Solstice weekend in the Colorado mountains.
The Winter Solstice marks the end of the past year and the beginning of the new year. In the darkest time of the year, we can go within, release what no longer serves us, renew our commitments for the coming year, and rejoice in the ever-turning wheel of the year.
The Enlightened Life Temple Winter Solstice weekend features a sacred fire ceremony, a mystical entheogenic rite, a traditional winter solstice celebration ceremony, and a creative session, making ceremonial objects from items found in nature. Our mountain location is cozy and comfortable with room for 6 people.
A temple minister will reach out when your registration is received to discuss your personal needs and interests before the weekend begins.
* NOTE * The private address for the retreat will be shared after your registration is received*

Retreat Leader: Jyoti Ma
For many years, Chavah Aima (Jyoti Ma) has led sacred pilgrimages to the holy lands of Europe and the Mediterranean coast. In her travels she encountered Egyptologists and esoteric experts on the ancient entheogenic rituals of Isis & Osiris. Through other destined encounters, she received transmissions that linked her to the secret lineage and teachings of the inner circle of Jesus and Mary Magdalene.
Chavah’s journeys brought her deeply into the hidden mysteries of the wisdom of the ages and connected her with certain masters of wisdom who revealed keys that unlocked the ancient knowledge of the western mystical paths of practice.
Chavah began to travel to India to seek additional training in the yogic path and get immersed in the consciousness-expanding traditions of Sanatan Dharma. Over the many years she lived in ashrams, forests, and caves, she experienced a profound transformation and received initiatory transmissions from realized masters, sages and advanced yogic practitioners.
In later years, she became recognized as a teacher by her mentors, was given the name Mataji Jyoti Ma, and returned to the west to share these powerful practices with others.
We have a vision of an enlightened temple community where our members and guests can gather for retreats, healing, services, community, entheogenic ceremony and more.
