Welcome Beloved,
Temple of Integration is a boutique community sanctuary, rooted in harmonious refuge. A place to return to what is most alive and essential in our hearts, honoring each of our unique paths in this wild human experience. Grounded in curiosity and connection to our innate human intelligence and potential, as well as the living intelligence of the natural world we belong to, it invites us back into relationship with what is wise, whole, and already within and around us.
At its core, Temple of Integration is a living, breathing offering.
It speaks to the great work of our time to remember our place in the weave of community, to root into the depth of presence, and to allow ourselves to be seen within the ever-flowing currents of wisdom that are always here, available to us all.
It is a Queer, two-spirit, solo women-owned and operated soul-hearted business guided by a devoted mystic, artist, somatic psychotherapist, transformation facilitator, mentor, and ceremonial guide and aa forever student of the Great Mystery, deeply devoted to real, down-to-earth healing and actually living what we learn in everyday life.
A womb for integrative and creative arts, where ancient wisdom meets modern therapeutic practice in grounded, accessible ways , weaving together mindful somatic ( body-based ) therapies, entheogenic integration counseling, movement arts, ceremony, ritual, breath and song, qigong and yoga therapy, psycho-spiritual healing, sacred ceremony, shamanic intelligences, and sanctuary space for aligned gatherings.
A place to return to what is most alive within you, cultivating embodied belonging and supporting the steady unfolding of your becoming.
Here, we cultivate a culture of permission. A space that uplifts one another while gently redefining what perfection means in our time. A place where imperfection is not a flaw, but a doorway to deeper acceptance. Where true belonging is not about fitting in, but about being seen as we truly are. Through relational & embodied practices, creative expression, reflection, and conversation, the Temple offers practical pathways toward healing and deeper self-trust, reminding us that none of us are meant to walk this human experience alone.
Temple of Integration is for those who seek integration not as an afterthought, but as a way of moving through life with intention and grace. A sanctuary that embraces the full spectrum of what it means to be human offering stability, nourishment, and joy amid the ever shifting tides of life.
It is an honor to bring this vision , this offering to life and to welcome all of you into it's unfolding…
Together...
Integration is Our Integrity .
Thank you for being here.
Our Mission...
Our mission is to uplift our community and strengthen the human connections that sustain us. Temple of Integration exists to support individuals and communities in remembering their innate intelligence, creativity, and resilience, especially while moving through life’s real challenges. Through mindful, body based practices and nervous system care, we offer grounded and accessible tools that help people slow down, heal, and make sense of what they have lived through, while also creating space for art, beauty, expression, and joy. We believe upliftment is essential to our humanity, and that healing happens in relationship, in community, and in the shared courage to come home to ourselves and to one another in ways that are honest, meaningful, and life affirming.
Our Vision
Our vision is to nourish, cultivate, and ripple out a thriving local community that is deeply rooted and meaningfully connected to the wider world — a living sanctuary where shared resources, embodied wisdom, and collective care uplift individuals and support the wellbeing of the greater human family. We see integration as a way of life, where community nourishes us, where each person is supported in finding their center, and where our unique gifts are cultivated in service of something larger than ourselves. We aspire toward a world where essential resources and basic human needs are honored, and where compassion, resilience, awareness, and joy shape the culture we create together. From a place of inner permission and self trust, we ripple love outward into our relationships, our communities, and beyond.
Hello, I’m Tutku.
I am the founder and creative vision behind Temple of Integration, a boutique community sanctuary in Nevada City, CA, on the ancestral homelands of the Nisenan First Nations , devoted to deepening relationship to self, community, and offering a space for embodied healing, belonging, and connection and creativity through integrative practices .
I am a two-spirit queer woman practitioner, devoted mystic, and artist, serving as a somatic psychotherapist, transformation facilitator, mentor, ceremonialist, entheogenic guide, Qigong and classical tantra yoga therapist, mindful structural integration practitioner, a graduate and a teacher assistant of Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy Pro Level 2 and ISITTA (Innate Somatic Intelligence Trauma Therapy). Through my signature multidimensional movement practice, the QiTanYo Method, I weave Daoist Qigong, Classical Tantra Yoga, meditation, breath, sound, and ritual into somatic wisdom as an everyday living prayer. Above all, I am a forever student of the Great Mystery.
I work with people through body-based therapy, movement, ritual, structural integration, and integrative entheogenic guidance to support their healing and integration. In short, I help people come back into their bodies and hearts to help make sense of what they have lived through. At its core, my work supports harmony and balance across the physical, emotional, and psycho-spiritual dimensions of our being. For over 20+ years, my life has been devoted to exploring consciousness, the great mystery, and the unfolding of our human potential. My path is rooted in deep inquiry, reverence, and service to the great wisdom and intelligence that lives within the union of psyche and soma, the seen and unseen, nature and cosmos, ritual and daily life.
What I Offer
When I share about my work, I often say that I help people come home to themselves. I support individuals in coming back into their bodies and hearts, making sense of what they have lived through, and reconnecting with their own inner wisdom and genius. My work lives at the intersection of somatic psychotherapy, mindfulness, movement, ritual, ceremony and integration, and is especially supportive for those navigating life transitions, or seeking deeper alignment
with their creative potential and find greater attunement to who they truly are.
Through body-based psychotherapy, movement, breath, and ritual practices, I help people regulate their nervous systems, reconnect with their emotions and their truth, and gently unwind patterns that may have kept them stuck and to be a vessel to connect to their innate genius.Alongside individual work, I facilitate plant medicine ceremonies, retreats, pilgrimages andcommunity healing gatherings, remembering together that healing does not happen in isolation,but in connection to each other.
At the heart of everything I offer is a simple intention: to assist others in nourishing their purpose, service, and creativity, helping them return to their bodies with compassion and step forward with greater clarity, resilience, belonging, and aliveness.
How I Serve You
I serve people from all walks of life who are longing to feel more balanced, alive, and at home in their own skin. My work supports those seeking greater creativity, joy, equilibrium, and a deeper sense of personal power. I work with individuals navigating transition and healing, as well as therapists, facilitators, and creative practitioners who wish to deepen their embodiment, clarity, and capacity to serve others without losing themselves.
My practice is especially supportive for LGBTQIA+ and queer men & woman, nature loving, open hearted souls who feel called to explore their emotional and spiritual lives with integrity. While I am trauma trained and work with care and precision, I also hold a deep trust in the inherent goodness and creative intelligence within each person.
Together, we listen for what wants to emerge, weaving somatic awareness, mindfulness, ritual, and creative expression so you can reconnect with your own inner medicine and allow it to move through your life with authenticity, resilience, and joy.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Tutku’s deep commitment to her own spiritual journey and practices has been an inspiration in my life. I feel fortunate to have had the gift of working with Tutku over several sessions to support me in a time of great transition and renewal. Tutku’s grounding presence, deep wisdom and welcoming humor created a space that allowed me to feel safe to show up exactly as I was. As someone who tends to retreat into my mind out of safety, she would always gently smile, and guide me back to my body and hold a sacred space for us to be present with what was arriving in the here and now. She has a strong intuitive ability to sense what is needed in each session as well as in each moment. Some days, I would be so tired, I questioned how I was going to show up for myself in session, only to find she had her table already warmed up and ready for me to simply receive. Tutku carries an embodied reverence for the unseen world—she knows how to honor spirit and the elements with humility and intention. Whether through ritual, prayer, or the simple act of lighting a candle, she gives offerings to the divine as a way of life. Her relationship with Spirit feels lived-in and sincere, rooted in daily practice and deep listening. Being in her presence reminds me of the sacredness woven into all things and of the beauty that is inherent in devotion both to the light and the dark. Tutku has helped me learn to honor my own journey—not just the light-filled parts, but the shadows too. With her support, I’ve become better at accepting that everything belongs—the joy, the grief, the mess, the beauty. She’s reminded me that healing isn’t about fixing, but about welcoming all of it with gentleness and lightheartedness.
