SLEA R2 The Temple of the Divine Feminine from grant recipient - Kisma Reidling
The Divine Feminine is a form of energy that all beings possess. It is known by many names such as shakti, yin, and lunar energy, and is often connected symbolically with the moon, Gaia (Mother Earth), and water. Just like the Divine Masculine, it is ‘one half’ of the Spirit of Life.
Grand opening September, 1, 2022

Now we enter into 4 big Temples and explore all around. There are so many incredible things!..
Take your time to walk around with no rush. This art project needs a careful attention and some patience (as a real woman) to understand all around. From first sight, it can look as labyrinth, with many rooms, turns, secrets, unexpected surprises.. Does it remind you anything? :) Yes, like every woman.
Many nice details which make you smile.. and lot of wonderful magical art you never seen before! Artistic expression of female soul.
After a journey inside EAST TEMPLE we came out at little area dedicated 4 Queens. All images were created female fashion models. Beautiful and much inspired outfits!
A special area for Chatter's talk s is in East Air Temple. Take attention at schedule and come in time to listen amazing stories about life experience. Perhaps, it will help you in your life situation. Don't miss this chance.
Fire Queen's area is connecting with Royla Hall (my imagination when I have seen it).
2nd level of Fire Temple has unique installation. You found yourself in black room. When you put a right windlight and settings (look at instruction), you will be amazed! Try it :)
Upper level of FIRE Temple has a special view with ancient sculpture and poppies.
1st level on WATER Temple has a Labyrinth. Very significant symbol. Where there is a Will, there is a Way. Go forward and believe in yourself. Try this challenge, you will find your exit definetly.
2nd level of Water Temple has a very personal photo installation "Scars" by Hyaecinte. This is true life of someone of us.. but you are not alone.
Upper level of Water Temple has a beautiful relaxing area with message "Art heals".
Kisma's office is located at Earth Temple. Turn on left and have a look at Kisma's books. She is well-known writer and her novells are wonderful! You will learn more about real Kisma, her life and where you read and get her books.
Upper level of Earth Temple has a big installation by Terra Merhyem.
Of course, in my review, I could not fully tell or betray the emotions that arise from walking through this amazing female world. Therefore, I invite all of you, no matter what gender you are, to visit in person and see this amazing project with your own eyes. Undoubtedly, one of the best for all two years of SLEA, because it was made in collaboration with the team where Harmony and Beauty was created in live interaction with the viewer. The creative team 100% managed to reveal the theme they took and surprise all visitors. Be sure to take the time and go, you will get an amazing experience and re-awareness of some situations for yourself.
