On the day of Saint Ambrose, Patron of the City of Milan, the 7th of December 2022, the Milan International Goddess Temple © is born by the hand and vision of Anna Travelling Priestess, Priestess of Goddess and of Avalon trained at the Glastonbury Goddess Temple.
The Milan International Goddess Temple © is a physical, itinerant and virtual space, conceived and conducted by Anna Travelling Priestess, Priestess of Goddess and of Avalon, in the spiritual tradition of the Glastonbury Goddess Temple in the United Kingdom.
The Milan International Goddess Temple © is the only recognised Temple, in the territory of Milan and Lombardy, in the Avalonian tradition of the Glastonbury Goddess Temple and in the teachings initiated by its Founder Kathy Jones and subsequently developed and expanded by the Priest/esses of Goddess and of Avalon who trained there.
The Milan International Goddess Temple © is a spiritual and cultural place of gathering, learning, support, collaboration, and celebration, with a local and regional as well as international approach, through activities held in Italian and English, answering to the multicultural and international soul and construct of Milan.
The Milan International Goddess Temple © is a pan-spiritual and inclusive reality at 360 degrees, and represents a place of learning, sharing and spreading of the culture and spirituality of Goddess and of the divine based on values such as:
- Partnership and harmonious co-creation in respect and appreciation of differences;
- Respect for life in all its forms, also including environmental and animal protection;
- Proactivity and support in the re-formulation of a healthy society deeply rooted in the mind, body, and soul;
- Concrete action towards a cyclical, inclusive and non-patriarchal vision of the experience of the individual and of the community.
The Milan International Goddess Temple © offers community and individual activities such as:
- Ceremonies and celebrations; women, men and mixed circles;
- Courses and trainings in the disciplines inherent to the Temple’s scope;
- Handfastings, rites of passage, naming ceremonies and funerals;
- Individual counselling and mentoring consultations;
- Holistic treatments for energy rebalancing and attunement;
- Organisation of spiritual tours and pilgrimages;
- Participation and/or organisation of conferences, academic collaborations and editorial projects.
The Milan International Goddess Temple © is dedicated in devotion to the Lady of Avalon and her Priestess Morgan Le Fay, as per spiritual path of the Priestess Founder of Milan’s Temple itself. However, reflecting its multiculturalism and openness, the Temple welcomes and embraces the interpretation of Goddess and of the divine according to each and everyone’s own inclination, and honours the ancient Great Goddesses who have shaped the history and very foundations of the city: Belisama and Minerva, as well as Brigantia, Reitia, and beyond.
In addition, the Milan International Goddess Temple © entertains and promotes an active, open and fluid collaboration with other Temples of similar roots on the Italian and international territory, as well as with the individual Priest/esses of Avalon and/or of other dedications but with similar Values, Experience, and Goals.
