  • About Us

    Black Butterfly Temple was created as a response to stagnation — personal, collective, and systemic.

    We are a space for people who are tired of bypassing what’s real, tired of being told to “just think positive,” and tired of carrying change alone. Our work centers on momentum that is honest, embodied, and sustainable.

    At the heart of Black Butterfly Temple is a simple framework:

    Silence · Shadow · Survival

    • Silence — listening before acting

    • Shadow — including what’s real instead of avoiding it

    • Survival — honoring capacity, pace, and lived experience

    These principles guide everything we offer, from in-person circles and workshops to written guides and creative practices.

    Our gatherings are not about fixing yourself or becoming someone new. They are about remembering yourself, choosing direction, and taking action that aligns with your body, your values, and your actual life.

    We work with ritual, reflection, movement, and practical tools — always grounded, always optional, and always centered on consent and personal agency. You do not need prior experience with spirituality, journaling, or group work to participate.

    Some offerings are designed specifically for women, while many are open to all. Each gathering clearly notes who it is intended for.

    Black Butterfly Temple exists to support people in moments of transition — when something is ending, something is beginning, or something inside is asking to move.

    Transformation doesn’t happen all at once.
    It happens through small, deliberate choices.

    We’re here to help create space for those choices to emerge.

    Mission & Vision
