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 Temple, the Mother Crystal, and the other sacred installations with dedicated attention and awareness.
Temple Stewards:
√ Visit the Temple 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 Temple 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.
Temple Stewards are entrusted with the discretion to bring others to the Temple when they feel it is appropriate—except to the Inner Sanctum.
