“What
People are Saying about LoveJourney: Tantra of the
Heart.”
-Flash movie by Hiroki Takeshita
LoveJourney
workshops & events have profoundly touched the lives of
s0 many. We are grateful for the generous financial support
from members of our various communities who have made this
all possible.
Throughout
time, spiritual centers like this Temple have flourished through
the ongoing gifts of time and money from the communities they
serve. We carry a deep devotion to service that warrants being
a recipient of your sacred gifts.
When
this life-changing work is well funded, it touches and opens
more people to the power of love, helping to enrich and expand
our already spectacular community. Help us to keep giving
these gifts by donating now!

Here are a few of the projects you can choose to support
through your gift:
1. Photo and Video Development Fund: Professionally created
photos and videos reveal the beautiful sacredness of this
work. We’ve covered the costs of gathering exquisite
footage and photos, now let’s cover the costs of turning
that into quality videos. $6100 (Click for more details...)
Our photo and video shoot in January 2009 was wildly successful, bringing us a wealth of new images that allow others a glimpse of the ecstatic life we support. People who visit our website, search the Internet for sacred Tantra communities, or receive our e-mails will soon be able to see more fully who we are through the spectacular footage & photographs we gathered that day.
A generous sponsor gifted the first $6000 to the Photo and Video Shoot, covering the initial costs of filming three days of workshop processes, Pujas, and interviews. We now seek an additional $6300 to cover editing and production costs that will lead to our final product: professional-grade mini-videos that combine video, photo, and interview footage gracing many of our web pages and allowing like-minded seekers to learn details about our vast array of offerings.
We believe this upgrade to our marketing materials, combined with a new web-based outreach strategy, greatly increases our capacity to attract new participants, thus enhancing the richness of the experiences each of us has when we are active in LoveJourney’s extraordinary communit
2. Remodeling Fund: Turns an old barn into a cottage for our
founder, Evalena, and adds three rooms for overnights, thus
opening new income streams to sustain the Temple. $10,000
(Click for more details...)
1. Duck Barn: This remodel turns an old building at the back of the land into a cottage that includes a private studio that could either house our founder, Evalena, be a rental, or a home for an onsite caretaker of the land. It will add two private bedrooms for overnight stays.
We’ve already been gifted $200 for the subflooring and $1000 that bought a new roof. We are so fortunate to have a woman contractor and her helper donating their time, spearheading the project, and inspiring others to help -- using mostly donated materials and supplies. The remaining costs to be covered are detailed below.
Your gift translates to better accommodations for overnights during workshops, delightful spots for romantic getaways, and the satisfaction of adding more income streams to help sustain the Temple.
Please consider sponsoring the entire project or any part! Gifts of every size count.
2. Painting of Therapy Room Building: The second building on the land got a new roof in our big remodel, but the last piece of making it beautiful is replacing the soffits that had to be removed and painting the exterior. We have work exchange to do all the work, need $950 in costs for plywood and paint.
3.
Marketing Director: Contribute toward the salary of this
part-time developer of our amazing new flyers, emails, web
pages, photo shoot and marketing plans. Match LoveJourney’s
$2000/month with $2000 more for one or more months.
5.
Circle of Hearts Scholarship Fund: Exists for women of limited
financial means. A full Scholarship Fund would in turn fill
all our events, benefit 20 or more women, and impact all
whose lives they touch. $12,000 (More Information)
Sponsor a Project
A
generous sponsor gifted the first $6000 to the Photo and
Video Shoot, covering the initial costs of filming three
days of workshop processes, Pujas, and interviews. Last
fall, a sponsor gifted the $5000 in scholarships needed
for 8 more women to have the life-changing experience of
the Six Month Group.
Sponsors gifting $1200 have made possible a remodeling project
to create a cottage for Evalena, buying a new subfloor and
roof and thus honoring the labor being gifted by our contractor
and her helpers. In the last year, six other donors have
given $26,000 to the general operating fund and debt retirement,
so helpful in these years of growth.
Small
gifts count too, as $5 and $20, and $50 gifts have totaled
nearly $5,000 in scholarships, benefiting many women and allowing
for the Pujas and workshops to be gender balanced, thus making
this work available to the men who wish to come.
Monthly
automatic withdrawals are a lovely way to give, even $20 a
month.
