Yaradana hizmetim, Yaradandan ötürü. I am in service to The Creation, because of The Creator. Time stood still. And tested everything I had. Between two eclipses, my father , Hayri Tezveren Baba flew to the Heavens. Today marks 20th day of his passage into the other, the Bardo ; that in-between veil so many lineages hold regard of, the 40 day passage when a Soul is said to linger between worlds before it is fully released into what's next. Naturally, so many mixed emotions

Yesterday was my Birthday and I turned 45. This year, the candles burn rather differently than ever before. Many words of my baba ring in my ears as I carry both tenderness and relief that he has at last flown to the arms of the Creator into the freedom he long sought. My father, Hayri Baba crossed over on the night of 8/17/26 in his birth home, as he most desired after a challenging passage in these past many weeks. As many of you know, I have been in our ancestral homeland

On Lineage, Bardo and The True Independence of the Soul … This month is a heart pour. I'm writing to you from my ancestral homelands of Türkiye, from my Baba's city, Bursa, so consider this your heads up that this share may run longer than usual. What follows is the story of these past weeks held together as one, because I've come to see that it really is all one story. This round of my journey began somewhere between two worlds, in the liminal stretch from SFO, northern C

Happy Pride, Beloved Ones … Pride is not just a month of celebration, it is lifetimes of a reclamation ! A returning. And for many of us, it is an ongoing act of courage to simply be ourselves in a world that hasn't always made room to be just simply human. ☽ Across so many indigenous cultures throughout time, loving in these ways, same-sex love, two-spirit identity, the fullness of the gender spectrum was not only accepted but held as sacred. Seen as a gift of spirit. A si

Temple of Integration welcomes you to Spring Sing. This month, we can really feel that the energies are moving. You can feel it, a deeper frequency humming beneath the surface. For some of us, we are already in it. A new direction is forming. A door is opening. And for some, this is a time to rest and tend to the seeds. There is a lot of upheaval happening in our world right now. And one of the reasons for this is to invite us to choose the kind of world we want to create,

We step into this month under the light of a powerful full moon, a mirror in the sky asking us to pause… to notice… to refine. Not everything is meant to bloom all at once. Some things are still becoming gold in the fire. April carries a gentle but clear invitation to build with care to refine what is already in motion to trust the timing of completion without rushing it. There is a patience here. A quiet strength. A more graceful, diplomatic way of moving through life, eve

Happy New Year, happy February Beloveds, Here I am, merging into February and naming it my new year beginning. Entering this year, I chose to begin when my body was honest and ready, on purpose. So this January I paused. I fasted, cleansed, and unplugged. The Temple did too. Because the body knows. The temple knows. It knows to no longer be engaged in anything from exhaustion. It feels far truer to my own wisdom rhythm , my own temple and to the rhythms of nature and cycles

Beloveds, December arrives with an invitation for a more connected way of being in our whole systems both within and all around us. A powerful 2026 feel is already here, calling us forward through sensation, vision, and intuition, asking us to shift our attention from the past toward the forward future that we are co-creating, together. With this rise, identities change, relationships rearrange, and old versions of ourselves shed like old skin; our only choice is whethe

“The Season of Listening , giving ear to the spaces between the spoken.” In the stillness, the unseen world reveals itself more vividly than ever… A living, breathing presence that feels both familiar and new. Between moments of inspiration, let us return to simplicity and quietude, resting in the gentle rhythm of being, where silence itself becomes the prayer. This is the season of inward turning, where the natural world teaches us the alchemy of release & how beauty and

Death , The Greatest Teacher of All … Death does not only come to end life, but to truly integrate its mastery, collapsing lifetimes into a single, holy instant of presence.. Death opens portals in the heart + soul, in the space + time in one exhaling breath. Death connects us to everything in that breath, and then drops us into the vast void into the next chapter of the Great Mystery… Death in the void begins the hidden work of sprouting what is to come. Death, like autumn
