The Phoenix Goddess Temple

This page is up to those who consider themselves the leaders of this entity to write whatever they like. We invite them to submit the article defining themselves in their own words.

Until then this is our opinion:

We have taught there in the past and enjoyed the freedom of expression that we experienced, the people that we met, and the honesty of the expression.

While we were there we did not agree with many of the ways that they practiced Tantra, and everyone there seemed to know everything and did not seem willing to learn and study with us.

That is odd to us as we are learning all the time. If we kept teaching the same old stuff year after year we would bore ourselves, let alone our poor students. The truth is fluid and flowing, you cannot hold it and try to "teach" it without entertaining the flow and unfolding of it.

This was just our experience. We invited them to embrace a more holistic view of Tantra. We wondered at their focus on both the Western oriented, "you are sick and need healing and I have the knowledge and tools to heal you" arrogance that is prevalent in new age spiritualism, and the obsession with "sacred sexuality". It would have been refreshing if we had experienced otherwise, it would be refreshing now...
