The Temple of the Inner Self™ is an interfaith spiritual community - a Holy Temple whose Mission is "Global Evolution through Personal Transformation of Consciousness." We welcome everyone. Our core teaching is that the Kingdom of Heaven lies within the human Heart (
Luke 17:21), and every human being can experience their own inherent Divine Nature through the Path of Love and Devotion. Our spiritual community traces its heritage back to ancient India. Our community houses a specific body of sacred Initiatory Esoteric Teachings from the Taoist Yogi-Christ Lineage of North America brought to the United States by Sant Mata Samyama Shangri-La in 1971. Because the Taoist Yogi-Christ Teachings incorporate an interfaith philosophy, our instructional programs incorporate spiritual practices from many different traditions and include meditation, metaphysics, Eastern philosophy, yoga, the Western Mystery Teachings, Sufism, the Kabbalah, energy healing, mysticism, shamanism, affirmative prayer and devotional chanting. Our path is open to people of all traditions and faiths. We teach that Union with God is personal, subjective and direct, and is uniquely experienced by each individual Soul. Our Spiritual Head offers all traditional Holy Sacraments, including performing weddings, christenings, ulogies for our community members. Our Faculty additionally offers group and private instruction and online home study courses. Check our events page for current class schedules. Our practitioners give private healing and spiritual counseling appointments. Join us every
Wednesday night from 7-8:30pm for our weekly Satsang Meditation & Worship Service. Young adults under 25 may join us on
Wednesdays from 5:30-6:30 for our Avatar Young Adults Program - a special program that supports young people in living an empowered life through spiritual principle.
