Join us for an intimate evening of wildly inspiring, matriarchal-fueled songlines with Bonnie Medicine, on tour from Scotland, alongside local songstress and ceremonialist Chonie Vargas, opening the evening.

TICKETS IN BIO ⬆️ 🎫

This will be a private concert setting at TOI with limited seating. Ceremonial Cacao will be offered. Come gather with us for this special meeting of voices, lineages, and song!

Mairead Catriona is the creatrix behind Bonnie Medicine. She is honored to be walking the path of Medicine Woman, Bard, Artist and Priestess in this lifetime, and to tend to the altars of healing for hu-man, womb-an, land, community and the ancestors at this pivotal time on Earth.

She is a singer, song weaver, and medicine musician from the ‘Bonnie’ isles of Scotland. Her songs and prayers are inspired by her deep Celtic roots and connection to story and place. She weaves these ancestral threads with the songs of the plants, the rhythms of the Earth, and the drumbeat of the heart, taking inspiration from the many lands she has traveled and learned from over the years.

Mairead’s intention remains to remind and invite listeners into a deep gnosis of freedom, unity and truth; sharing prayer and connective medicine to move and awaken all beings into harmony.

Chonie Vargas hails from the Central Coast of California and is a long time resident of Nevada City. Her Artistry has been rooted in various Folk Genres and Ceremonial expression for over 25 years. As a Curandera with a diverse Multicultural background, she tends & teaches the path of Shamanism while serving as a steward and songstress of the healing arts. Her music and way of life inspires cosmic connection, consciousness, transcendence, truth and a unique sensibility toward the world of plant medicine.

I’ve been quiet here for some months.
Many of you have supported my journey through our TOI WhatsApp circles and personal page, so you may already know that I have been in my ancestral homelands of Turkiye, at my father’s side through his transition these past months & It has been the greatest, most rewarding, challenging initiation of my life.

Today marks the 25th day of my Baba’s bardo. 🪶Our newsletter went out freshly this week, carrying the story of my time in Turkey and the path I walked with Baba. I’ve also shared one of his talks on our Tezveren lineage ( tho it’s in Turkish and not yet translated, but it comes to you in his own voice which you can find it on the Temple blog and Substack in the LINK IN MY BIO) ⬆️

While I’ve been away, the Temple has been held with so much beauty. Events, gatherings, and classes all of it tended by hands I trust completely. In this moment as
I am in the mountains of Andalucía, Spain, taking the integration time I so need w/ yoga nature, meditation, retreat as I’m studying one of the most devoted teachers (Rod Stryker ) of the Classical Ta**ra Yoga lineage I’ve called home for over a decade.

Soon I’ll be trickling back into the States, and I am dreaming of uniting with you all in person again practices, presence, and the good Temple shenanigans.
Till then This month’s events, registration links, and the newsletter sign-up are all gathered in one place. Keep your eyes open more on September is coming.

Thank you for being part of this journey. And thank you for tending to your own Temple.
And now comes the real practice for me as I’m tending my own temple, letting this deep experience settle, making meaning of what I have walked in this great portal of becoming.

With love, from the bottom of my heart 🪶

We arrive at our final gathering of QITANYO 13 Winds. 🌬️✨

This Friday, we close this 13-class journey together—returning once more into breath, movement, sound, and the living intelligence of the body.

What began as a practice has become a shared field of devotion.

A space where we learned to listen deeper.
To soften.
To release.
To remember.

In this final session, we will gather everything we’ve been cultivating:
presence, embodiment, and the subtle art of returning home to the heart.

Qigong + Ta**ra Yoga Therapy in relation to Curanderismo
With Tutku

FINAL CLASS
Friday, June 26
9:30 – 11:00 AM

Hybrid: In-person + Online

If you’ve been walking with us, this is your closing circle.
If you’ve been feeling the call, this is your moment to enter.

✨ One last practice
✨ One shared field
✨ One return to the heart

Join us for the final Winds.
