<div>Dear friends, family and fellow co-creators of miracles!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are interested in the creation of a retreat centre in central Portugal dedicated to the Divine Mother, then read on!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>My background</strong>
</div>
<div>I've been a holistic healer since 1995, offering sessions in my rented homes in Bristol, Leominster, Bath and on my canal boat in the UK. I moved to Sintra, Portugal in 2021. Since 2025, I now live in the beautiful 'Montanhas Magicas' close to 'Sao Pedro do Sul' Spa town in north central Portugal.
</div>
<div>For years, my dream has been to live in a community (multiple occupancy rather than living in one house!) where we can hold retreats.
</div>

</div>
<div>In summer 2023, at a 'conscious' festival, after a life-changing day of breathwork and Kundalini activation, I participated in a blindfolded trance dance. I felt touched Isis and Owl medicine. To my surprise, I was shown a vision of a round, dome structure and directed to build it here in Portugal. It will be a healing centre used for multiple holistic therapies by different facilitators under the name - <strong>Kundalini Rose Garden</strong> - a healing temple dedicated to the Divine Mother.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"If there is to be a future, it will wear the crown of feminine design." - Aurobindo, Indian Mystic.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Kundalini Rose Garden</strong>
</div>
<div>Kundalini is the mystical awakening of our dormant spiritual energy from the base of our spine, rising in a serpentine movement, opening us to meeting the divine within. The rose is the flower with the highest vibration of love, plus it has thorns for protection and piercing truth.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why the Divine Mother?</strong>
</div>
<div>This was simply what I was directed to create: a temple dedicated to the Divine Mother. I suppose that after centuries of patriarchal domination and war, we need to revere and be guided by more influence from the feminine, so as to bring back balance and harmony  to our relationship with each other and the earth. 
</div>
<div>This is certainly not about exclusion of the masculine. On a cosmic level, the feminine principle actually contains everything, including the light of masculine consciousness - for all things are born of woman. We all contain masculine and feminine, no matter which gender we are. I prefer to think of it as yin and yang - bringing them into balance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>" Know that my revelation is a revolution.
</div>
<div>Establish justice for all in my world.
</div>
<div>If you truly love me, change everything for me."
</div>
<div><strong>Pachamama -Isis - Durga - Nut - Lakshmi - Tara - Sophia - Prajnaparamita</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>OM SHREE MATRE NAMAHA</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Envision this:</strong>
</div>
<div>Stone, earth, hempcrete and wooden structures combined with a well-ventilated geodesic dome - built with feng shui design, sacred geometry and geomantic harmony. A portal for deep healing, transformation, magic, ceremony and inner alchemy. The garden will be a home for honey bees, birds, a rose garden, cacti, olives and the production of flower-power potions.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Part of the purpose of this centre will be a safe sanctuary and creative cauldron for women, as well as being open to all for healing. With simple accommodation, it can also host residential groups for retreats and training courses. The details will emerge organically from the offerings of the residents and collaborators.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Location</strong>
</div>
<div>I am open to grace and synchronicity for guidance. I am calling in the perfect, magical site for this dream to come true - combining beauty, magic, natural flowing water, trees, views, fertile land, community, privacy and accessibility. Having landed in the mountainous region south-east of Porto, close to Viseu, I feel that it may be in this area.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Residents and Neighbours</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>We need people with practical skills as well as facilitators.
</li>
<li>Those who are drawn to be caretakers, guardians, priestesses/gardeners of the temple and deeply involved may potentially live close by or build a home on-site (with our own funds), depending on available space and building regulations.
</li>
<li>We all need our own personal residential homes and will have different budgets and needs.
</li>
<li>The latest idea I am learning about, is perhaps setting up a legal Co-operative.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Team</strong>
</div>
<div>I already know a Portuguese architect who can make sure everything is legally sound, a close friend who builds houses with wood and hemp and other useful contacts such as friends who have already built and lived off-grid and at retreat centres and communities who can offer guidance, from the wisdom of their experiences.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Destiny</strong>
</div>
<div>As someone who has healed from deep trauma, turning wounds into gifts, I am passionate about facilitating this for others, and know that I am not alone. I am also passionate about feng shui, geomancy and sacred space, so this will be a labour of love. Are you longing to find a project to fulfil your destiny in community? I am so excited to pour my love, passion, creativity and hard work into this project - who is with me? Who wishes to join this hive? We will need:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>a) Donors</strong> - Thank you for your support - every contribution, share and message of support help.
</div>
<div><strong>b) Guardians/residents</strong> - the core founders at the heart of the project, united by trust, shared values, similar visions and compatibility. We will draw up clear agreements, with transparency accountability and fairness. The time of the lone wolf is over! Multiple occupancy is a way to choose your neighbours yet not get bogged down in the politics of communities.
</div>
<div><strong>c) Temple enthusiasts - </strong>people who are passionate about creating, gathering and 'working' in sacred space.
</div>
<div><strong>d) Collaborators</strong> - builders, architects, gardeners, permaculturists and WOOFERS.
</div>
<div><strong>e) Advisors</strong> - on purchasing land, building a retreat, running a harmonious community, legal/financial matters and project management.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>More details will be clearly drawn up as the whole vision and budget becomes a solid business plan, with specific benefits for donations. I will also be able to reveal the rest of the team in this community of trusted friends and this dialogue will shift from 'I' to 'We' as a co-created vision and plan. For now we are calling in the perfectly magical place for our homes and to build a community temple.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If this campaign resonates with you, I would love to hear from you. Thank you for chipping in and sharing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Update: January 2026 </strong>- I have launched a website to attract supporters and ignite momentum to manifesting the temple! <a href="https://www.kundalinirosegarden.org/home" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Please visit the website</a> to see the services that are already starting to grow!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Infinite love and Blessings
</div>
<div>Sue Holmes.
