The Temple of Ishtar is
a group dedicated to education, raising awareness and supporting the
healing our society of over 5,000 years of negative sex and body messages.
The Temple is a vision
promoting the use of partnership power versus domination in our lives.
To create amnesty in the "war of the sexes". The vision is to replace
the present culture of scarcity with a culture of abundance and to
replace
the
use of
pain
as a motivator
with
pleasure. It is a feminist vision in which women as well as men
are empowered
to fully express their
divinity.
We are
currently focusing on hosting events and activities in the San Francisco
Bay Area, no longer at Burning Man.
There are other theme camps at Burning Man that are similar in focus to the Temple of Ishtar. One is the Temple of Venus otov.org
This image is the "Goddess Frequency Band" playing on the
Temple stage at Burning Man, with priestess dancers.
OUR
PURPOSE FOR THE TEMPLE:
To raise awareness, educate, entertain, heal and enhance the experience of
Sacred Love, Relationship, Sensuality & Sexuality in the world through:
-
Education (On-line
information, resources, links, in-person trainings, conferences,
seminars and presentations.)
-
Fostering
Community (by creating, supporting & networking
with Sacred Sexual Spiritual Groups and Temples on-line
as well as shared events and activities.)
-
Spirituality (We
mean the reconnection of Spirituality & Sexuality through
rituals, and the sharing of spiritual practices such as
Hindhu, Buddhist and Neo-American Tantra, Ancient European
and/or Middle Eastern Sacred Sexuality.)

An
excellent book that explains the issues we are addressing
is: Sacred Pleasure by Raine Eisler.
