Folio i.  Our Calling

e exist to lead people into deeper devotion to the Divine Feminine, for greater peace and understanding within themselves, and through that, with the world.

The Calling of the Haus
Folio ii.  The Iconostasis

One Mother,
a thousand names

We honor every face of the Divine Feminine, across the world’s traditions. Among those we hold close:

Folio iii.  Pacha Mama

The earth is
our first altar

Before temple or tabernacle, there was the ground beneath our feet: mountain, mushroom, river and serpent, the moon pulling the tides. We gather to remember that the Mother is not far away. She is the soil, the sea and the rhythm of the drum.

Every heartbeat is a hand drum, every breath a prayer.
Folio iv.  The Living Temple

Our bodies
are the temple

The Mother is honored at the altar and in the breath, the heartbeat, the hips that sway and the feet that dance. Every gathering is an invitation to come home to the body, the first and holiest house of devotion.

Folio v.  How We Worship

Sound, stillness
& the body in prayer
