What was lost is becoming the ground for something new. Temple de la Luna is reopening not simply restored to what it was, but grown into what it was always meant to become: a full sanctuary, rebuilt and expanded, holding space for healing, community, and quiet transformation. This is a syllabus of that vision — what’s being rebuilt, what’s being newly grown, and what you can expect to find when our doors open again. ## A Triumph from the Past Long before the storms, before these walls held their first ceremony, this vision began somewhere else entirely — on the road, in search of something the modern world had quietly forgotten how to offer. I spent years traveling far from home, seeking out plant medicine traditions and prayer medicine passed down through generations of healers, elders, and keepers of old knowledge. I sat with teachers in places most maps don’t name. I learned that healing is not one practice but many — a root prepared a certain way, a prayer spoken at a certain hour, a plant grown and gathered with reverence rather than haste. I carried that knowledge home not as souvenirs, but as responsibility. Temple de la Luna was built from that journey. And what’s rising now — the healing garden, the sanctuary restored — carries the same spirit forward. As part of this new chapter, I’m bringing something else home with me: a gift shop unlike others you’ll find. Not mass-produced trinkets, but real, unique offerings — items sourced with the same intention as everything else here: plant medicine, ceremonial tools, and pieces gathered directly from the healers, artisans, and traditions I encountered along the way. Every item will carry a story, a lineage, and a purpose. This is not a new idea. It is a promise I made long ago, finally coming fully home. ## Offering One: The Sanctuary, Fully Restored Our original temple spaces, repaired and returned to full capacity. What’s included: - Full structural repair and restoration of the temple grounds - Indoor gathering and ceremony spaces returned to use - Restored altars, ritual spaces, and quiet rooms for reflection - Renewed capacity to host our full calendar of community offerings ## Offering Two: The Healing Garden ![Roots](https://templedelaluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/AdobeStock_285861338-1024x683.webp "AdobeStock_285861338 - Temple de la Luna")A new growth for our sanctuary — a dedicated space where the earth itself becomes part of the healing work. What’s included: - A cultivated garden space designed for contemplative and hands-on plant work - Home to our Spiritual Horticulture Program and future garden-based offerings - Native and medicinal plantings selected for their healing and symbolic significance - Open garden hours for quiet personal reflection, outside of scheduled programming - A gathering space for circles, ceremonies, and seasonal rituals held outdoors ## Offering Three: The Coffee Shop ![Coffee Shop](https://templedelaluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/AdobeStock_363663036-1024x697.webp "AdobeStock_363663036 - Temple de la Luna")An entirely new addition — a place for the everyday sacred, where community gathers not just for ceremony, but for the ordinary moments in between. What’s included: - A welcoming café space open to the public, not just program participants - Coffee, tea, and light fare sourced with the same intention and care as our programs - A gathering spot before or after garden sessions, meditations, or simply on its own - Seating designed for connection — a place to sit with a friend, a journal, or a stranger who becomes one - A bridge between the sanctuary and the surrounding community, inviting people in even when they aren’t ready for ceremony ## Offering Four: Community & Ceremony The heart of what makes Temple de la Luna a sanctuary and not just a space. What’s included: - Renewed seasonal and lunar ceremonies - Community gatherings, healing circles, and shared meals - Opportunities for close friends and supporters to be part of the rebuilding — through presence, hands-on help, or simply showing up when the doors reopen ## Ways to Support This vision is bigger than what one set of hands can rebuild alone. If you feel called to be part of it, here are a few ways in: ### Presence Show up when we open the doors again — for a ceremony, a workshop, a cup of coffee, or simply to walk the garden. Your presence is its own form of support. ### Hands-On Help From garden beds to café build-out, there is real, physical work ahead. If you have time, skills, or labor to offer, we welcome it. ### Word of Mouth Share this vision with others who might feel called to it. Community grows when it’s passed hand to hand. ### Financial Support Whether through a gift, a sponsorship of a garden bed or café fixture, or ongoing giving, financial support directly accelerates rebuilding. Reach out and we’ll share the ways to give that fit you best. ### Prayer & Intention For those far away or unable to give time or funds — hold us in your thoughts, prayers, or intentions as we rebuild. It is felt, and it matters. ## An Invitation This is bigger than repair. It’s transformation — taking what the storm tried to close and turning it into something more open, more alive, and more rooted than before. The soil is being turned. The garden is being re-imagined. The doors are coming back to life. We would be honored to have you walking this next chapter with us. With gratitude, Temple de la Luna **Categories:** What's New --- ### [The Sacred Power of Cooking Your Own Food](https://templedelaluna.com/the-sacred-power-of-cooking-your-own-food/) **Published:** May 25, 2026 **Author:** Priestess Shoshana **Content:** ## by high priestess shoshana Author of Watch Me Thrive and Serpent Sutra **There is something sacred that happens when we cook our own food.** The kitchen becomes more than a room. It becomes an altar. A place where healing begins quietly with our own hands. The herbs we touch, the tea we steep, the vegetables we cut from the earth — these things carry spirit, memory, ancestry, and intention. In today’s world, many people have become disconnected from the origins of their food. Meals arrive wrapped in plastic, shipped across continents, filled with preservatives and energy that feels empty. Yet our ancestors understood something powerful: food is medicine, food is culture, and food is identity. **When we cook at home, we reclaim part of ourselves.** When we buy from local gardeners, herbalists, farmers, and small family kitchens, we help keep ancient traditions alive. We support real people instead of corporations. We nourish our communities instead of systems that drain them. We remember that nourishment was never meant to be industrialized. Across the United States, powerful movements are rising that remind us of this wisdom. Indigenous food sovereignty movements teach that communities have the right to protect and sustain their traditional food systems and sacred relationships with the land. The Native food movement is not simply about eating healthier. It is about remembering who we are through the foods of our ancestors. It is about restoring dignity, cultural memory, and spiritual connection through the act of growing and preparing food. The same sacred resilience can be seen within the Gullah Geechee communities of the southeastern coast. The Gullah Geechee people preserved African agricultural knowledge, herbal traditions, and foodways through generations despite unimaginable hardship. Their farming, rice cultivation, herbal medicine, and communal cooking traditions continue to inspire the modern farm-to-table movement today. Many of the foods we now consider “Southern cooking” were protected and carried forward by Gullah Geechee families and small coastal farms. Okra, red rice, greens, peas, seafood traditions, herbal tonics, and community gardens are not trends — they are living history. **I believe we are witnessing a spiritual return to the earth.** People are tired of artificial living. They are seeking authenticity. They want to know where their tea came from. They want herbs grown with care. They want eggs from local farms, handmade remedies from trusted herbalists, and vegetables touched by sunlight instead of factory machines. **This is why small farms matter.** **This is why local herbal shops matter.** **This is why homemade remedies matter.** And this is why communities must begin protecting the wisdom of elders, gardeners, healers, seed keepers, and traditional cooks before that knowledge disappears forever. The farm-to-table movement reminds us that food tastes different when it is alive, local, seasonal, and connected to community. But beyond flavor, there is also spiritual nourishment. There is pride in knowing the hands that grew your tomatoes. There is comfort in drinking tea blended by someone who truly understands herbs. There is healing in gathering around a table built from local abundance. At Temple de la Luna, I encourage people to reconnect with these sacred rhythms of living. Grow herbs if you can. Visit farmers markets. Support local gardeners. Learn to cook family recipes. Trade seeds. Buy homemade teas. Teach children where food truly comes from. Even one small meal made with love can shift your energy. **Food carries vibration.** The energy of stress enters food. But so does gratitude. So does prayer. So does healing intention. Our ancestors understood this deeply. Cooking is not a chore. It is ceremony. And every time we choose local, fresh, handmade, ancestral, and earth-connected foods, we participate in the healing of both ourselves and our communities. The future will belong to those who remember how to grow, heal, gather, and nourish together. May we continue to protect the wisdom of the land. May we continue to support small farms, local herbalists, and sacred food traditions. And may our kitchens once again become places of wellness, culture, family, and spirit. — High Priestess Shoshana Founder of Temple de la Luna Author of *Watch Me Thrive* and *Serpent Sutra* **Categories:** Holistic Healing Remedies, Medical Intuitive Readings, Spiritual Life Coaching, Uncategorized **Tags:** holistic medicine --- ### [The Medicine is in the Kitchen](https://templedelaluna.com/the-medicine-is-in-the-kitchen/) **Published:** May 25, 2026 **Author:** Priestess Shoshana **Content:** # The Medicine Is in the Kitchen: Why Cooking Your Own Food Is a Spiritual Act *By High Priestess Shoshana \| Temple de la Luna* *Author of Watch Me Thrive and Serpent Sutra — available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Kindle* --- They removed the kitchen from the center of life and called it progress. They handed you a box. A bag. A drive-through window. They told you this was convenience — that saving time in the kitchen meant more time for living. What they did not tell you is what you lost when you stopped cooking your own food. What left your body. What left your bloodline. Nature was my first friend. I was raised in the mountains of New Mexico where we grew things, picked things, prepared things with our hands. The women in my life knew that food was not fuel. Food was ceremony. Every meal was a conversation between the living and those who came before them. The herbs were not decoration. The fire was not just heat. The act of cooking was the act of staying in relationship with the earth — and through the earth, with everything that sustains us. That knowledge is still alive. It is waiting for you to return to it. --- ## What You Give Up When You Stop Cooking There is something the body knows that the mind has forgotten. When you cook your own food, you become a conduit. You are not just nourishing the body — you are making an offering. To your ancestors who fed themselves through their own hands. To the earth that grew what is now on your table. To the forces of nature that brought seed to soil to harvest to you. When you hand that act over to a factory — to a corporation — you break that chain. You become a consumer instead of a participant. And the body feels the difference, even when the mind does not notice. Processed food is not just nutritionally hollow. It is spiritually hollow. It has passed through no hands that prayed. No water that was blessed. No intention that said: *I am feeding someone I love.* Cooking is one of the oldest spiritual technologies we have. Do not give it away cheaply. --- ## The Movements That Remember There are people — communities, tribes, small farmers, home herbalists — who never forgot. And there are others who are fighting to remember. They are worth knowing. They are worth supporting. **The Native American Food Sovereignty Movement** is one of the most powerful living examples of what it means to reclaim your relationship with food as a sacred act. For generations, colonialism sought to supplant Indigenous peoples through many means — including the eradication of their well-established food and agriculture systems. Now, tribes across the country are fighting to bring those systems back. Indigenous food sovereignty is about who decides where and how food is harvested, gathered, hunted, fished, grown, prepared, distributed, and shared — and who benefits from those decisions. This is not just about feeding bodies. It is about feeding cultures. Restoring dignity. Honoring the intelligence of the land. Tribes like the Wiyot in Northern California, the Yurok, and the Quapaw Nation in Oklahoma have been reclaiming ancestral lands specifically to restore traditional foodways — not as nostalgia, but as medicine. As power. As a refusal to be disconnected from the earth that made them. The **Gun Lake Tribe** in Michigan has built a food sovereignty program around the Three Sisters — corn, beans, and squash — planted the ancient way, where the corn creates structure for the beans, the beans enrich the soil, and the squash protects the whole garden, all three working together the way a community is meant to work. This is planting as prayer. Gardening as ceremony. These movements are not separate from your spiritual path. They are your spiritual path, made visible in the soil. **Small farms and seed-to-table growers** are doing the same work on a different scale. The woman selling herbal tinctures at the Saturday market. The man who grows medicinal herbs in his backyard and trades them at the community gathering. The grandmother making elderberry syrup from a recipe older than the neighborhood she lives in. These are not hobbies. These are lineages. These are the last living links to a way of feeding ourselves that understood food as relationship, not transaction. When you buy from them, you are not just making a purchase. You are voting with your dollars for the world you want to live in. You are saying: *I believe in this. I want it to survive.* --- ## Come Back to the Kitchen You do not need to be a chef. You do not need a garden or a farm or a degree in herbalism. You need a pot. A fire. An intention. Start with one meal a week cooked entirely from scratch. Go to your local farmers market and buy something you have never cooked before. Ask the person who grew it how they use it. That conversation is already medicine. Find the person in your neighborhood who makes remedies, teas, sauces, preserves. Buy from them. Tell someone else about them. This is how traditions survive — through the small, daily choices of people who decide that real food made by real hands matters. Learn one herb. Just one. Learn where it grows, what it heals, what it has been used for across cultures for thousands of years. Let that knowledge root in you. Then teach it to someone else. At Temple de la Luna, we carry handmade holistic remedies, healing teas, and botanical treatments prepared the traditional Caribbean way — honoring the plants, the ancestors who knew them, and the bodies they were made to heal. Our urban sanctuary garden grows healing herbs the way my teachers grew them: with patience, with prayer, with deep respect for what the earth offers when you ask her properly. This is the work. Not separate from the spiritual path — the spiritual path itself, expressed through the most ancient human act there is. --- ## She Is Still Feeding Us The earth has not abandoned us. She is still producing medicine. She is still offering herself through every seed, every root, every leaf. The fires and the floods and the winds — they are her language, and she has been speaking for a long time. We can choose to listen. Go home and cook something. Buy something local. Support the person in your community who is keeping the old ways alive with their hands. Sit at a table with someone you love and eat food that was made with intention. That is ceremony. That is connection. That is how you stay in relationship with the great Mother who is still, even now, trying to feed you. --- *Priestess Shoshana is the founder of Temple de la Luna and, a Mambo, Medicine Woman, and author of* Watch Me Thrive *and* Serpent Sutra, *available now on Amazon, Kindle, and Barnes & Noble.

Behind the fluorescent lights, sterile tools, and blinking monitors lies a domain few truly understand. It is a place where nurses don’t just tend to bodies—they witness the soul’s final questions. They hold the line between life and death. They witness miracles, and they witness the agony of loss. They do it with courage. But too often, they do it alone. This article is a sacred exploration of what it means to nurse within the **soul-field of the ICU**, where the spiritual toll of trauma, death, and unprocessed emotion hangs thick. We will explore how **unseen forces**—what we call in Vodou Spiritism “trauma spirits” or **spirits of the departed**—attach themselves to the living. We’ll share the healing methods we use at **Temple de la Luna** to clear these energies, help nurses protect themselves spiritually, and reawaken the divine call that first brought them to service. ### The ICU is Not Just a Ward. It is a Portal. Whether you call it by its clinical title or understand it as sacred ground, the ICU is a **transitional space**. It is a place of initiation—for patients and caregivers alike. Day after day, nurses walk into rooms where life is exiting or struggling to stay. The hospital is a temple of science, but the ICU is a **threshold between the seen and unseen worlds**. And yet, this aspect of the job is rarely acknowledged. No one warns nurses that they will absorb energy from the dying. That patients who die in pain can leave behind an emotional residue that clings to their caregivers. That **some spirits don’t want to leave**, and may reach out to the nearest living body—especially the nurse who stayed at their side the longest. We have seen it. We have cleared it. We have helped nurses reclaim their own spirit from the heaviness of others. --- ### What Science Is Now Proving: The Cost of Caring Recent studies show that ICU nurses experience levels of **chronic stress, trauma fatigue, and moral injury** far beyond those of other departments. A 2022 study published in *Critical Care Medicine* revealed: - Over **68% of ICU nurses** reported moderate to high levels of **burnout**. - **53% showed signs of secondary traumatic stress** (the psychological residue from helping those in trauma). - And nearly **1 in 4 had considered leaving the field** because of emotional and energetic overload. These are not just psychological statistics. They are spiritual. Many of these symptoms mirror what traditional spiritual systems would describe as **spiritual dissonance**, **soul fatigue**, or **entity attachment**. These are the ancient words for what we now diagnose as burnout, depression, or compassion fatigue. But long before studies, we already knew the truth: **Healing work is soul work. And soul work has consequences if you don’t cleanse.** --- ### What Are Trauma Spirits? In Vodou Spiritism, we recognize the existence of **non-integrated energies** that linger in places of suffering or confusion. A trauma spirit is not necessarily evil. It is **unresolved energy** from a soul that has passed but not yet fully transitioned. There are two common ways trauma spirits interact with nurses and healers: 1. **Attachment through empathy**: The nurse who sits by the dying patient may unconsciously open themselves to the emotional release of that patient. If no ritual of closure is performed, the energy can remain in the aura. 2. **Imprinting through repetition**: Repeated exposure to death, resuscitation, and human suffering creates what I call a “**spiritual groove**”—a rut where spirits can slip in and replay the trauma through the caregiver’s dreams, moods, or even physical symptoms. We’ve seen this result in sudden **emotional outbursts**, **unexplained fatigue**, **visions**, **migraines**, or even strange behaviors—symptoms not of illness, but of spiritual imbalance. --- ### Nursing and Spirituality: The Unseen Practices Nurses Already Do What surprised me most when working with ICU nurses is how many of them already have **rituals of release**, even if they don’t name them as such. - One nurse told me she **sits in silence in her car** for 20 minutes before driving home. “I’m just decompressing,” she said. But what she was really doing was **energetically purging**. - Another lights a candle and whispers the names of the patients she lost that day. This is **ancestor work** in its rawest form. - Some nurses **wash their hands longer than necessary**, letting the water run up to their elbows. This is not just hygiene—it is **ritual cleansing**. - Others **shower the moment they get home**, often visualizing the stress going down the drain. This is a form of **auric clearing**. Nurses are intuitively powerful. But intuition without training is like having a flame without direction. --- ### My Story: From Surviving to Thriving A few years ago, a young ICU nurse named *Elena* came to Temple de la Luna. She had served seven years in trauma and post-op critical care. She loved her patients, but she was burnt out, emotionally numb, and couldn’t sleep without waking in tears. Her supervisors thought she needed rest. Her doctor suggested antidepressants. But she said, “It feels deeper. I feel like I’m haunted.” She was right. During her first visit, I performed a **spiritual scan** using techniques from my medical intuitive training. We uncovered multiple trauma attachments—fragments of past patients, as well as unresolved grief from her own childhood loss. Her energy field was thin and full of holes, which explained her chronic fatigue and emotional dissociation. We began a six-month journey together using: - **Herbal cleansing** from Caribbean and Taíno traditions - **Guided trauma-release meditations** - **Ritual offerings** for the souls of her patients - **Spiritual hygiene routines** including breathwork, salt baths, and energy boundary training - And most importantly, the **reconnection of her spirit to her purpose** By the end, Elena returned not just stronger—but spiritually grounded. She now mentors other nurses and teaches workshops on “spiritual self-care in clinical environments.” Her transformation is proof that burnout is not the end. **It’s the alarm clock of the soul.** --- ### The Role of the Medical Intuitive My work is deeply informed by a **two-year apprenticeship with a Medical Intuitive who held a masters in Nursing and was the head director at the children’s psych-ward**. Her training was not casual—it was rigorous. I learned how to: - Read the **subtle body systems** with accuracy - Identify **energetic lesions** caused by grief, guilt, or trauma - Map spiritual injury to physical dysfunction - Work with guides, ancestors, and divine forces to intervene gently but effectively - Create long-term energetic protection for those in caregiving professions Under her watchful mentorship, I combined these teachings with my spiritual path as a **Vodou High Priestess**, giving me a unique lens that honors both **intuitive diagnostics** and **ancestral healing**. This is the work I now offer to those on the frontlines of medicine—nurses, CNAs, trauma doctors, palliative care providers, and more. --- ### Nursing Burnout: How to Protect Your Spirit: Tools for ICU Nurses **If you are a nurse, especially in critical care, here are spiritual protocols you can begin now.** #### 1. The Daily Clearing Ritual Upon returning home: - Stand in the shower. - Close your eyes. - Visualize a waterfall of white or golden light pouring over you. - Say aloud: “I release all that is not mine. I keep only what serves my highest calling.” - Use sea salt scrub if possible. Rinse thoroughly. #### 2. The Candle of Release Each week, light a small white candle for the patients you lost. Say their names or say, “To those I helped pass, I honor your journey. I release your pain. I am not your home. Go in peace.” This is an offering. It brings closure. And it protects you from lingering spirits. #### 3. Sacred Boundaries Prayer Before entering the hospital or shift, say silently: > “I serve through grace. My body is my temple. What is not mine cannot stay. I am a bridge of compassion, not a sponge of pain.” This reinforces your spiritual wall. #### 4. Herbal Protection Use **Florida Water**, **Rue**, or **Guinea Hen Weed** in a bath or spritz to break attachments. These are traditional Caribbean herbs used in Vodou Spiritism for clearing and fortification. --- ### Helping Others Cross Over: Holding Sacred Space Many nurses have told me they “feel” when a patient is about to pass. That they “know” when the room changes, when the silence becomes too deep. This is not imagination. It is sacred sensitivity. When you learn how to properly **guide that moment**, you become more than a nurse. You become a midwife of the soul. At Temple de la Luna, we train our practitioners in the art of **transition support**, using prayers, sacred words, songs, or even the laying of hands to assist in final crossing. You do not need to be a priestess to hold sacred space—but you must be clean, intentional, and humble. --- ### From Servicing to Thriving The difference between surviving your job and thriving in your calling is spiritual alignment. - Are you doing this work because your soul said yes? - Are you replenishing your own well? - Do you know how to release what isn’t yours? - Are you spiritually equipped to walk through shadows without being consumed? These are the questions I ask nurses who come to me. And those who learn to answer them find **their power returns**. --- ### Why We Must Speak on This We cannot allow our caregivers to become martyrs. Hospitals teach protocol and procedure—but not **spiritual sustainability**. That’s where **we step in**. At Temple de la Luna, we recognize that medicine and mysticism are not opposites. They are partners. And for those who walk in between—like ICU nurses—we offer the bridge. --- ### Final Thoughts: You Are Not Alone To every nurse who has held a dying hand… To every caregiver who has felt the shift of a soul leaving the room… To every healer who cries in their car, wondering how to go back tomorrow… You are not broken. You are not weak. You are **gifted**. But you must learn to protect that gift. Let us show you how. --- **Join Us:** If you are a nurse, doctor, CNA, or healthcare worker looking for **spiritual training**, **cleansing**, or personalized **medical intuitive support**, visit us at **[www.templedelaluna.com](https://www.templedelaluna.com/)**.

At Temple de la Luna, we believe that true healing begins when we listen to our bodies, not just treat them. Holistic medicine is not only about herbs and oils — it’s about the mind-frame we carry, the foods we choose, and the spiritual alignment we maintain through the cycles of nature. When you nurture your mind, you change your vibration. When you align with your body, you activate your energy. When you feed your soul, you radiate from within. We are a moon-cycle temple, rooted in traditional Caribbean wisdom, and we honor each phase of life, body, and spirit. Our mission is to help you return to a lifestyle that reflects your rhythm, not someone else’s blueprint. Did you know…? There are five distinct body types — and each one has unique needs, rhythms, and nourishment requirements. Many “natural medicine” systems taught today are rooted in European models, but your body may carry a different ancestral language. That’s why we recommend eating for your body’s lineage — not the latest trend. Caribbean, Indigenous, African, Asian, Latin, and Diasporic traditions all carry spiritual lineage foods — sacred, seasonal, and deeply healing. These foods regulate your energy, balance your mood, and support ancestral memory. Your radiance comes not just from eating clean — but from eating in alignment. You are invited to reconnect. To discover what your body is truly asking for. To embrace holistic medicine not as a quick fix, but as a sacred relationship. Begin by asking yourself: What phase of the moon am I in emotionally? What does my body type truly need to feel light, strong, and alive? What did my ancestors eat to stay grounded, radiant, and resilient? At Temple de la Luna, we guide you through this remembering. Through intuitive readings, spiritual life coaching, ancestral healing, and holistic wellness sessions — we help you build a lifestyle of sacred alignment. You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be willing to listen to your own body’s truth. Radiance is a birthright. Healing is an ancestral memory. You are ready.

Founded and taught by *Priestess Shoshana* through *Temple de la Luna*, Serpent Sutra weaves ancient and modern movement traditions into a transformative practice of wellness, ritual, and embodied sovereignty. Born from the alchemy of tribal fusion bellydance, Serpent Sutra carries the echo of the *gypsy trail* — the ancient pathways where women danced across deserts and borders, carrying rhythm, song, and ceremony as medicine. Within this lineage lives the pulse of the Middle East, the fire of Flamenco, the grace of Indian and Persian classical forms, the soul of Romani dance, and the serpent wisdom of African and Vodou spirituality. Each movement is both prayer and art — a spiral of energy that awakens the feminine temple within. --- ## The Philosophy: Movement as Devotion At the heart of Serpent Sutra lies a simple but radical truth: the body is sacred, and movement is its language of remembrance. The dance becomes a sutra — a thread of divine communication — connecting breath, bone, and spirit. Our philosophy rests on three pillars: **1. Energetics.** Every gesture in Serpent Sutra is guided by breath and intention. The serpent — ancient symbol of transformation — becomes a metaphor for the kundalini energy that coils within the spine. Through movement, we awaken this current and learn to circulate it, transforming our dance into living prayer. **2. Body Wisdom.** The dance teaches deep listening. Every isolation, every undulation, honors the body’s intelligence and the sacred architecture of the female form. Strength arises not from strain, but from surrender — from aligning with the natural flow of energy that courses through the hips, spine, and heart. **3. Technique as Temple.** We approach technique as devotion. Posture, stamina, and conditioning are not mere physical exercises; they are forms of worship. Through discipline, repetition, and precision, the dancer refines not only her body, but her spirit. --- ## How Serpent Sutra Differs from Other Fusion Styles While many modern tribal fusion styles emphasize performance and aesthetic innovation, Serpent Sutra is rooted in ritual. Performance is seen not as the goal, but as the natural expression of a deep inner practice. Our movement is taught as ceremony — each sequence begins with grounding and intention, each closing with integration and offering. We honor the cultural and spiritual sources of our fusion, weaving them with reverence and awareness. The emphasis is not on imitation, but on invocation — calling forth the essence and spirit of the traditions that shaped us. In Serpent Sutra, *healing* and *sovereignty* are inseparable. The dance becomes a mirror through which women rediscover their wholeness. Somatic awareness, breathwork, and meditative focus help release tension and reclaim energy that has long been suppressed. Through this process, physical conditioning becomes sacred work — endurance becomes empowerment. --- ### A Practice for Women’s Strength and Wellness Serpent Sutra is one of the most profound physical practices for women’s endurance and core stability. Its spirals and isolations strengthen the pelvic floor, back, and diaphragm — the very centers of feminine vitality. Through sustained practice, dancers build flexibility, stamina, and grace that extend beyond the studio into daily life. But Serpent Sutra is not only about fitness — it is about *feminine wellness in its fullest sense*. The dance restores connection to the body, balances the nervous system, and helps regulate energy. Women who practice often report not only improved strength and posture, but also increased confidence, emotional release, and a deeper sense of spiritual grounding. This is the essence of Serpent Sutra: to move is to heal; to dance is to awaken. --- ### The Lineage and the Gypsy Trail The “gypsy trail” that inspires Serpent Sutra is not a literal road, but a sacred metaphor — a remembrance of the traveling women, the priestesses, and the storytellers who carried sacred knowledge through movement. Their dances were coded prayers, their rhythms secret languages of resilience and joy. In honoring this lineage, Serpent Sutra carries forward that same spirit of transmission. It honors the unseen matriarchal lines of power, the women who danced for rain, for freedom, for love, for the moon. It is a dance of return — a reclamation of mystery, of strength, of sacred sensuality. --- ### The Class Experience Every class begins with grounding and breath — an invocation to enter the body as temple. From there, we move into technique: isolations, undulations, and serpentine pathways that awaken the spine and hips. Conditioning sequences build strength and endurance while maintaining fluidity and grace. Choreography emerges naturally from these foundations — short ritual sequences that mirror the serpent’s path of transformation. We close each session with meditation and integration, sealing the practice in gratitude. Each element — from costume to rhythm to ritual gesture — is designed to help the dancer reconnect with her divine feminine essence and embody beauty, discipline, and power. --- ### The Calling Serpent Sutra calls to women who are ready to rise — to those who seek not only physical transformation, but spiritual reawakening. It is for the mothers, the mystics, the warriors, and the dreamers who feel the pulse of the ancient drum inside their ribs. If you are yearning for a practice that is at once mystical and tangible — one that challenges the body while soothing the soul — Serpent Sutra opens the gate. Come coil and uncoil with us. Strengthen your body. Awaken your spirit. Remember your serpent wisdom. This is your temple. This is your practice. This is **Serpent Sutra.** --- ### About Priestess Shoshana *Priestess Shoshana* is a spiritual teacher, writer, and movement guide whose work through *Temple de la Luna* bridges mysticism, ritual, and embodied arts.

I have spent over twenty years working as a life coach, a healer, and a psychic, and in all of that time, the cards have never once lied to me. Tarot is one of the oldest forms of star magic we have, a way of bringing the wisdom of the stars, the cycles of the moon, and the intelligence of spirit down into something you can hold in your hands and actually understand. ![Tarot Card reading](https://templedelaluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/R62_0235_Priestess_Shoshana_Allie_Serrano_final-768x1152.webp "R62_0235_Priestess_Shoshana_Allie_Serrano_final - Temple de la Luna - Temple de la Luna") ### What Can You Expect from a Tarot Card Reading With Me ### Star Magic Star magic is not about fortune telling. It is about remembering that you are made of the same material as the sky above you, the same cycles, the same rhythm of expansion and contraction, light and dark, beginning and ending. When I read the cards, I am reading the stars through a language that has survived thousands of years, and I am reading you through the lens of everything I have learned as a clinical herbalist, a certified life coach, a Vodou Priestess, and a psychic who has guided thousands of people back to themselves. ### Tarot Card Reading Offers Clarity Tarot is one of the most powerful healing modalities I know, especially in times of transition. When your life is changing, when a relationship is ending, when a career is closing its door, when your body or your spirit is asking you to become someone new, it is easy to feel lost. What tarot offers you is not a prediction, it is clarity. It shows you the cycle you are actually standing in, so you can stop fighting it and start moving with it. Every life moves in cycles the same way the seasons do, the same way the moon waxes and wanes. Nothing that is alive stays the same forever, and that includes you. When you understand the cycle you are in, endings stop feeling like failures and start feeling like exactly what they are, a doorway. This is the heart of my work as a healer and a coach, helping you understand your life circumstances clearly enough that you can walk through that doorway with confidence instead of fear. ![Tarot Card Reading](https://templedelaluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/AdobeStock_310981205-crp-731x1024.webp "AdobeStock_310981205 crp - Temple de la Luna - Temple de la Luna") The Process ### The Life Path & Soul Path Spread This is a spread I return to again and again with my private clients, especially during seasons of transition. It uses two cards pulled together, read against each other, to show you where you are walking on the outside and who you are becoming on the inside. Life Path ### Card One The Life Path Card One, the Life Path, shows the practical road in front of you right now. This is the card of circumstance, decisions, timing, and the world you are moving through. It answers the question, what is actually happening in my life at this moment, and where is it leading. ![Tarot Card Reading](https://templedelaluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/c6d7860e-b6b4-433e-b0b0-1f16432489b7-683x1024.webp "c6d7860e-b6b4-433e-b0b0-1f16432489b7 - Temple de la Luna - Temple de la Luna") ![Five illustrated oracle cards arranged on purple fabric, featuring vibrant deity images with blue and red borders and a brown card with gold ornament in front.](https://templedelaluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/d7f9ca03-e1f3-498c-9a42-03e0b6e5b619-683x1024.webp "d7f9ca03-e1f3-498c-9a42-03e0b6e5b619 - Temple de la Luna - Temple de la Luna") Life Path ### Card Two The Soul Path Card Two, the Soul Path, shows what your spirit is doing underneath all of it. This is the card of growth, healing, and purpose. It answers the question, who am I becoming through this experience, and what is my soul actually here to learn. Life Path and Soul Path ### Reading Both Cards Together When I read these two cards together for a client, I am looking for where they agree and where they pull against each other. When the Life Path and the Soul Path are in harmony, you are exactly where you are meant to be. When they are in tension, that tension is usually the exact thing keeping you stuck, and naming it is often enough to start the healing. I do not read this spread from a script. I read it the way I was trained, intuitively, letting the cards speak alongside what I sense from you energetically, and alongside everything I know about coaching people through real transformation. That is the difference twenty years makes. ![Pile of dark cards with a gold ornate floral design on the top card, placed on blue fabric.](https://templedelaluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/40cf0bfc-96a1-428d-b8e1-0db210d008ee-1024x683.webp "40cf0bfc-96a1-428d-b8e1-0db210d008ee - Temple de la Luna - Temple de la Luna") ## Schedule Your Next Tarot Card Reading For Tarot Card Readings and More If you are in a season of change and you want real clarity about where your life path and your soul path are leading you, I invite you to book a reading with me.

I was apprenticed to shamans and curanderas as a child in the mountains of New Mexico, trained for thirteen years under the lineage of Baron Del Cementario, and have spent my whole life since then deepening my relationship with the cards, the spirits, and the stars. ![Tarot Card reading](https://templedelaluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/R62_0235_Priestess_Shoshana_Allie_Serrano_final-768x1152.webp "R62_0235_Priestess_Shoshana_Allie_Serrano_final - Temple de la Luna - Temple de la Luna") ### I am inviting you to learn tarot from me, directly, as my student This is not a course you finish in a weekend. This is an apprenticeship. You will learn to know the seventy eight cards the way I know them, not as symbols to memorize, but as living teachers you build a relationship with over time. You will learn to move past the guidebook meaning and into spirit led reading, the same intuitive method I was trained in, so the cards begin to speak to you directly instead of through someone else’s interpretation. And if you are called to read for others, I will teach you what that responsibility actually requires, how to hold space, how to read with integrity, and how to carry this work out into the world the way it deserves to be carried. I have spent over twenty years building this knowledge as a healer, a certified life coach, a clinical herbalist, and a spirit worker. I do not teach tarot as a novelty. I teach it as the sacred technology it has always been, and I only take students who are ready to meet it with the same seriousness. If you feel the pull to learn this craft, from someone who has lived inside it for two decades, I welcome you to reach out and begin.

Through intentional work with plants, herbs, and natural elements, we clear what no longer serves you, plant new intentions, and nurture your transformation. ![Four young bean seedlings emerging from rich soil in bright sunlight.](https://templedelaluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/AdobeStock_283644830-1024x683.webp "AdobeStock_283644830 - Temple de la Luna - Temple de la Luna") #### Seeds ![growing herbs](https://templedelaluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/AdobeStock_605332941-1024x683.webp "AdobeStock_605332941 - Temple de la Luna - Temple de la Luna") #### Herbs ![Roots](https://templedelaluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/AdobeStock_285861338-1024x683.webp "AdobeStock_285861338 - Temple de la Luna - Temple de la Luna") #### Roots Where the earth becomes your teacher # Spiritual Horticulture Workshop at Temple de la Luna Tucked within our urban garden sanctuary, Temple de la Luna’s Spiritual Horticulture Program invites you to slow down, dig your hands into living soil, and rediscover the sacred rhythms that connect plant, breath, and spirit. This is not a gardening class — it is a moving meditation, a ritual practice, and a return to the ancient understanding that tending the earth is tending the self. Guided by the cycles of the moon and the wisdom of seasonal growth, each session weaves together plant care, energy work, breathwork, intentional eating, and contemplative practice. Whether you arrive with a green thumb or none at all, you’ll leave with a deeper relationship to the living world — and to yourself. [ ## Enroll Today Seats are limited.

Intentional eating asks us to treat nourishment as sacred: to notice where our food came from, to chew with awareness, and to receive the meal as an extension of the same life force we’ve been tending all morning. It is a bridge between the garden and the body — a reminder that what we grow, we are meant to truly *taste*. ### Program Syllabus #### **Session One – Sun, Oct 25, 2026 Grounding & Intention** Arrive, breathe, and set your seasonal intention.

The garden does not rush. It does not perform. It simply grows, in its own time, exactly as it needs to. Temple de la Luna invites you to become part of that unhurried wisdom. Come sit with the soil. Come listen to what the leaves have to teach. Come nourish yourself, slowly and fully. Come remember that you, too, are a living thing capable of extraordinary bloom. #### **Beginning Sunday, October 25, 2026** Our sessions are held **once a month, on or near the Full Moon**, always on a **Sunday, from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM**, in our garden sanctuary at Temple de la Luna Our sessions are held **once a month, on or near the Full** Spaces in our garden sanctuary are intentionally limited to preserve the intimacy of the experience.

As a Spirit Worker, High Priestess, healer, and temple director, her mission is to keep spirituality alive and real for the future. Priestess Shoshana practices an ancient form of Vodou connected with the Taíno people of the Caribbean Isles. She teaches people how to speak with spirits. She is a master channel and intuitive, having dedicated her life to the connection of spirit and person, purpose and living, healing and manifestation. For more than 20 years, she’s helped people heal, manifest, and connect to the deepest parts of themselves. From a very young age, Shoshana immersed herself in the mysteries of the Kabbala, herbal medicine and healing, the Tarot, energy work, physiology, spirituality, and world faith systems. She has worked extensively with shamans and curanderas. Shoshana is a graduate of the prestigious Southwestern School of Botanical Medicine. Most proudly, she is a High Priestess Initiate of the Sanse tradition where she studied directly under spiritual worker of the lineage of Baron Del Cementario, a rare position only attained through invitation. ## Spirit Worker Shoshana is a spirit worker and certified Master Intuitive with a successful practice performing psychic readings, spirit medicine, and counseling. Her work as a medical intuitive and psychic has helped thousands of people understand their lives better. Having channeled her most powerful works while maintaining a thorough understanding of modern healing modalities and psychology, Shoshana is also well-versed in the ontological transformational movement. Known as “the practice of being”, Shoshana has thousands of hours of training and experience coaching individuals and leading transformational work. Shoshana was proudly awarded a certificate of recognition by a member of Congress during Women’s History Month for her contribution in “Moving history forward for women.” ## Personal Spirit Journey Raised as a Buddhist in the small town mountains of New Mexico nestled in with the pinon and cactus was a small home built of love. Chickens ran with the dogs and the cats with the birds, nature was my first friend. Acquiring a liking for the tribal influence in food, art, and customs, I requested to be sent to school with Shamans. Shortly after receiving my first initial sessions, I was told I could learn to dream walk. After a year of nightly meditations, I was able to control my dreams. During this time I met spirits that taught me along the way. I was initiated into hands-on healing at the age of nine. Taken to the woods to learn survival skills the shamanic way – listen to the animals, talk to the trees, know the plants, watch the sky. I learned numerology, brujeria, herbal remedies, and challenging intuitive development body control. Skills like walking in the snow with no shoes on to control the reaction my body had to the cold. Becoming more powerful than the surroundings was a lesson in empowerment. I learned that you must be stronger than what you believe, for the spirit realm is vast and has many tests, none of which are fast, each test is lengthy and devastating if failed. At fifteen I traveled to find new teachers. An apprenticeship with a Kabbala instructor in ceremonial magic for a year started my journey in hermetics. An In-depth curriculum with Native American medicine women in Navaho medicine wheel gave me an ancient perspective on balance and health. She had learned from her grandmother. As a teenager, I would take the bus every week across Oakland California to visit my teachers. In the old times, they taught me in their kitchens and I would garden for them, we would sit and cook together after magic and ceremony. One day I gave a reading to a friend who had two macaw feathers for me. Later that year I was gifted a two-year apprentices to become a psychic who could read physical ailments and guide others in becoming healthy again. The apprenticeship included anatomy, physiology, chemistry, and herbal preparations. After my certification as a healer, I deepened my education in the healing arts. I graduated from Southwest School of Botanical Medicine’s six-hundred-hour program in Professional Herbology. This was a comprehensive education in Anatomy and Physiology, Botanical Materia Medica, Herbal Pharmacy, Constitutional Medicine, Herbal Therapeutics, Botany, Clinicals, Wildcrafting, and Herbal Formulating. In 2003 I obtained my clinical herbalist certification. As a psychic and healer with an influence from Hermetic and Kabbala, Buddhism, and Native American Shamanic knowledge, it was starting to get real. To support this wealth of knowledge I became a certified world religion mythology Reverend focusing on Goddess cosmology. I started my practice in my dance studio and combined my healing work into a Sacred Feminine curriculum. Somehow during this time I gained a 1600-hour life coaching certification, was awarded by a member of Congress, and started traveling leading workshops nationally. One day I wanted to know more about some of the visions the spirits were showing me. I had channeled a significant amount of work and I became a keeper of secret knowledge no one could understand. I then was guided to study Vodou. Not just any Vodou, but I was guided specifically to a person who was born and raised in a shamanic tradition that was very similar to my childhood teachings. I successfully accomplished a rigorous 13 year of apprenticeship as a Vodou Priestess, and was given the rights to run a certified Temple. I am among only a few women who currently hold that position. My spiritual journey has continued to evolve to the present. I have opened Temple de la Luna, a mystical healing and training center, where I help others to heal and to find their spiritual journey. --- ### [Ticket Receipt](https://templedelaluna.com/ticket-receipt/) **Published:** November 29, 2025 **Author:** Allie Serrano **Content:** # This link is not valid Check the address in your confirmation email, or open the most recent receipt link we sent you. --- ### [Ticket Details](https://templedelaluna.com/ticket-details/) **Published:** November 29, 2025 **Author:** Allie Serrano **Content:** # This link is not valid Check the address in your confirmation email, or open the most recent receipt link we sent you. --- ### [Books by Priestess Shoshana](https://templedelaluna.com/books-by-priestess-shoshana/) **Published:** October 28, 2025 **Author:** templeshoshana **Content:** ## Browse Books Books by Priestess Shoshana # Books by Priestess Shoshana Browse Books Books by Priestess Shoshana, Watch Me Thrive, and Serpent Sutra ![Watch me Thrive](https://templedelaluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/watch-me-thrive-front-copy-2-768x1152.webp "watch-me-thrive-front-copy 2 - Temple de la Luna - Temple de la Luna") Buy Now on kindle or Amazon ### Watch Me Thrive #### Watch Me Thrive: A Step-by-Step Guide to Bringing Back Your Fire, Light, and Self-Love If you are stuck in an abusive relationship—or if you recently escaped from one—you know how hard it is to find your way back to a path of love.
