Temple of the Sea Born is a community and congregation practicing and promoting modern neopaganism and polytheism within a framework of ancient Mediterranean religion, tradition, and holistic lifestyle.

 

Although our organizing structure is that of Hellenism and ancient Mediterranean practice, we welcome and support all practitioners of neopagan and spiritual paths to join our community and enjoy fellowship with like-minded spiritual persons.

We are currently seeking new members who connect with our core values and wish to seek a spiritual journey with other like minded people. See, “Planting the Seed”, below to learn more.

Planting the Seed – A New Beginning!

The concept and inspiration of the Temple of the Sea Born has been almost 30 years in the making. Conceived along a journey of incredible personal experience, deep and passionate study, and almost a lifetime of committed practice in varied spiritual and neopagan traditions, the seed started to form. Nevertheless, for many years I never really entertained the idea of an actual church or community arising from those years of personal spiritual growth.

Recent events and growing tensions in our world have really thrust the idea into the forefront of my mind and heart. I believe deeply that it is time to plant the seed and bring together those who attune with its energy to spiritually seek the innate beauty and wonder in this world while starting the process of healing.
