The Intentions of Flower Dance Temple include, though not limited to, are:
We have been and are training, practicing, and experiencing that a forest mountain environment supplies a unique milieu and specialized causes and conditions for helping in the cultivation, realization, and stabilization of unfolding an altruistic compassionate wisdom consciousness and unique lifestyles.
Our intention is to live as active participants in the world by the facilitation and endorsement of, a wise, just, compassionate and peaceful conscious evolution of individuals, societies, culture, and nature through the integration of our spiritual practices of listening, contemplating, and meditating.
Freeing ourselves from religious sectarian prejudice and racial, gender, and class bigotry, we practice being pro-active within all our activities to bring about understanding and peace into the world through our individual unique lifestyles and sundry ministries to contribute towards facilitating peace, harmony and love in the world now and into the future.
Through practicing and experiencing a spiritual science of body, soul, and spirit we acknowledge the contributions of the religious traditions, the sciences, medicine, the arts, philosophy, education, business, etc. as an integral aspect of what it means to be human.
In the light of an altruistic transformative spirituality, an awareness of inter-dependence gives rise to an inner acceptance of a personal ethical responsibility that one has to self, others, and nature in the co-creation of harmony and compassion on planet earth.
Considering the interdependent and inter-relational significance of humanity’s responsibility to care and protect the natural world, our experiential practice of Permaculture is deeply connected to nature and is fueled by our contemplative and meditative practices on and off the cushion, so to speak.
