Letters from the TEMPLE
What changes when “unexpected” elicits possibility rather than feeling like something has gone wrong?
What kind of relationship to truth makes correction exciting rather than humiliating?
What does listening look like when you’re genuinely willing for what you encounter to inform how you think and act?
What does it look like to be affected and changed by the strange magic of life?
What happens when you’re not trying to make reality conform to what you think it is or should be?
You can learn the concepts, understand the ideas, do the practices, and spend years taking in books, teachings, podcasts, courses, retreats, and frameworks, but something entirely different happens when you get to actually see how someone with substantial experience and developed skill meets life.
That's why I'm opening these letters.

From Sadee Whip
I’ve been occupied by two questions since I was seven years old: Why are humans so disconnected from Life, and how can we come back into relationship with it?
These questions have been the organizing inquiry of my life.
Over four decades, I’ve accumulated upward of 30,000 hours of direct work with people, led groups and workshops, taught classes, published Savage Awakening: Initiatory Paths of the Dragon Mother, and founded the Temple of Awe.
I've spent my life dedicated to walking this path with integrity, courage, honesty, curiosity, sensitivity, and rigorous inquiry, all of it rooted in awe, reverence, and a profound love of life.
If knowing my background matters to you, you can read more about me here. If you want to see the deeper architecture of my thinking and the standards that govern my work, you can read the Temple Docs in the footer.
