CLICK HERE for a description of the Temple Steward role.

The Temple Steward Program is a small group of long-time volunteers who have committed to an ongoing threshold of service (in person) at the Santa Fe Enlightening Temple.

The role of the Temple Steward is to care for the Sanctuary, Temple, Mother Crystal, and other sacred installations with dedicated attention and awareness.

Temple Stewards:

√   Visit the Sanctuary regularly to activate their relationship and alignment with the land and the technology

√   Do scheduled walk-throughs to check on all trails and installations

√   Connect with the Sanctuary in consciousness on a daily basis

√   Manage and monitor security cameras and signage

While physical site security is part of the role, it is the least important aspect of stewardship. What matters most is spending regular time being present with the land and attuning to its multidimensional and energetic nature.

Note: Time spent as a Temple Steward is distinct from and in addition to time spent as a Temple Guardian or volunteer.
