Five members of the Sentient Temple descended upon Belize with enthusiasm and zeal. During our ten day stay we meet with many other Shaman and herbal healers. Fern our own Herbologist and Naturopathic Doctor, was a wealth of information and guided us well throughout our adventure. The Belizean’s are very open to herbal healing and Reiki.

During our Spiritual Journey we visited many ruins, and felt right at home as we did our rituals of greeting the day, and thanking the deities for all of our good fortune. We were not surprised when we drew a crowd, and were questioned by the locals as well as tourists. The main question was when could they come to our Temple and learn what we do. The Sentient Temple has a growing following in Belize.

As is the Temple way, we show gratitude for everything and one evening we asked that the entire staff at the hotel be given the night off as we were cooking and serving everyone. The dinner was a great success and everyone was surprised that we could not only cook, but cook well.

We shared much time with the local people, shared food and exchanged information about healing, and herbs. Much time was spent with other Shaman, again speaking about philosophy and the healing power of Reiki as was practiced by the Maya.

The Sentient Temple is developing fifty acres of Rain Forest and a teaching school for Reiki and Herbology, which will include not only the conventional herbal medicine taught here in the States but also well marked trails though the Rain Forest marking all the various herbs used in jungle medicine. This very interesting Herbology will also be taught, along with Usui/Mayan Reiki, Karuna Reiki and Shambala Reiki. Volunteers, teachers and donations are always welcome. Help us help others. We are in particular need of a good volunteer architect, to design our teaching/living/Center.
