The Temple Group Network -

Temple groups and other associated women's groups

The Temple group network was founded by Chameli Ardagh and Helena Montelius in 2005 when they together initiated The Nevada City Temple group.

As Chameli has been traveling around Europe and in the Us meeting with women, more groups have been initiated. Eventhough most of the groups are inspired by the Nevada City Temple group and /or the work of Chameli, the network also includes other women's groups.

The intention with the network is to bring our practice into a greater context, and to document the practice of women's group happening all over the world. We have just recently started to list the groups and we are expecting to expand our list rapidly.

Are you longing to start a group? Chameli and Helena have written a Temple Group Manual , that gives detailed suggestion for guidelines as well as more than 20 "temple nights"- outlines and practices for womens groups. To order your copy click here.

   “Helena and Chameli’s work is a groundbreaking, fresh wind
     into the empowerment and awakening of women.”

" To me Temple is a portal through which we nudge each other, tickle, seduce, sometimes even drag each other until we find ourselves basking in those magical realms where our devotion and recognition of beauty is almost unbearable. Surrounded by glowing faces, unmasked, free and totally welcomed, ecstasy is rippling through the room like golden honey, erasing any trace of separation between us…
The practices we explore in Temple cannot be fully grasped by only reading about them; we have to experience them through our bodies. And this, to me, is the core of the fierce challenge and loving invitation of the Goddess; We are called to embody and fully live our spirituality. In our Temple spirituality is not an abstract concept of the mind, it is a down- in- the- body, fully-present-with-whatever-is-here way of life. Here spirituality does not follow dusty dogmas. It is felt intimately as each breath enters the body, as the body opens to the sensuous experience of the moment with such intensity that there is just no space for any evaluation. Here we are all of a sudden one with life not as a concept but cell-by-cell, atom-by-atom. And beyond.
I am honored to be part of this experiment taking place in Nevada City with my rapidly expanding circle of dear women friends, mentors and sisters. I am grateful beyond words for my dharma- sister Helena, for her commitment and limitless heart. I am excited to finally being able to share these practices with you, my exploration of them has transformed my life. My prayer is that they will serve you well, and through you that they will serve all sentient beings." Chameli Ardagh
