ASSOCIATE GUIDELINE and VALUES

 

At Temple KUKURI we honor the connection between people, nature and the universe as one unified being and we gather to share and celebrate that connection.

It is a space open to the public where people can gather for joy, harmony and peace. We offer services and educational programs to bring awareness, wellness and inspirations to our Associates and our community.

 

Temple KUKURI is a place for people to learn wholistic living way and receive wellness services/counseling through a variety of qualified teachers and practitioners. KUKURI means to connect, bundle and tie in Japanese. KUKURI is also the name of the Japanese goddess of unity, harmony and integration who connects people together. At KUKURI people gather for meditation, healing and spiritual practices, wholistic living and arts classes that bring health, inspiration and connection to our lives for greater joy, harmony and peace.
