Why I wish to join The Temple & how I found out about it...

I met Jiva in Bali outside Lotus Lane.My husband Les & I attended many therapies at the centre in Lotus Lane I have read The WorldBridger and the Temple Ceremonies. The information resonates with some of the thoughts I have pondered and answers the unanswerable questions explaining global events in a manner which I can understand. I choose to be aligned with like minded people on a positive life affirming journey.

About Myself & My Interests...

I am an Irish born female currently living in New Zealand.
I am in a loving relationship with my husband of thirty years Les Carter. We have contributed five incredible daughters to this planet whom we raised in rural West Cork Ireland on a smallholding where we gardened organically,kept small animals, drank clean pure water and Kombucha and breathed fresh country air. The children were not vaccinated and were treated with homeopathics, Reiki,herbs, flower remedies and butyeko as required. Some of the children were home schooled for a period of time.They have all left home now. They range in age from 22 years to 35 years. They are named Aoife (Portugal), Amber (Canada), Amy ( New Zealand),Rosie (Australia) and Molly (Hong Kong). The grandchildren are Millie and Layla ( Portugal)

I have an abiding long term interest in complementary health. I am a qualified Registered Nurse for the Intellectually Disabled, a Psychiatric Nurse with a Masters in Mental Health Nursing, an Anthroposophical nurse trained at Taruna in NZ, Reiki Teaching Master trained in Ireland and Tarot Consultant with medium and clairvoyant capabilities. I have an abiding interest in Megalithic sites having visited many over the years including Glastonbury, drawn always by the power of nature whether at natural springs, rivers, lakes wells, forests or mountains.
I love Bali and the Balinese people in particular the ritualistic aspect of their daily lives. I have met and grown to love some Balinese people who are as family to us.
Les and I are currently building a Gypsy Bow Top wagon in Ubud in Bali with a team of divine carvers, painters, metal workers and assistants. The project is nearing completion. We come regularly to Bali to work with our artisans.

I also love to garden, having had poly tunnels and raised beds for growing organic produce for years. I especially love flowers and climbing plants, no firm favourites but particularly aromatic flowers.I love the headiness of strong fragrances.
I love to swim with dolphins and whales and have done so many times. I support The Sea Shepard and Captain Paul Watson
In brief my interests are ..Tarot, Tribal Belly dancing, gardening, making Kombucha,Travelling regularly and riding my 750cc motorbike
