FOUNDATIONS
A NEW six-week introductory online live course
with Francisca Santibanez
Sundays at 9 a.m.- noon PT
January 3rd - February 7th, 2027
HEALING RITUALS, SPIRITUAL HERBALISM,
AND THE CULTIVATION OF SACRED INTIMACY WITH LIFE
Early Bird Registration through October 15th
Your body is a temple. So is your home. Your relationships, your friendships, the land beneath your feet, and your LIFE— all of it, worthy of the same devotion we once reserved for sacred ground.
Templefy Foundations is where that practice begins.
What is Templefy?
Templefying is a way of life; a conscious return to tending as a spiritual practice. Not a task list, not another form of self-optimization, but a deep remembering.
For as long as humans have walked this earth, we've known how to be in relationship with what nourishes us. Templefying is the reclamation of that knowing.
This course is your entry point into a practice you'll carry far beyond these six weeks, into all corners of your life.

Six Weeks,
One Living Cycle
Templefy Foundations moves through the six movements at the heart of this practice — Listen, Commune, Clear, Elevate, Consecrate, Release — the same rhythm we'll return to again and again, in every temple of our life.
Week One— Listen: The call that stirs. We begin the journey by turning to the yearning for connection to the sacred. Rooting this as fuel for your practice
Week Two — Commune:Belonging & Intimacy with Spirit. We turn toward belonging, reclaiming the body itself as temple, and remembering that because we exist, we belong. This is where intimacy with spirit is upheld and practiced.
Week Three— Clear: What’s in the Way. We name what got in the way of our tending. The systems, disconnections, and severances that pulled us from our ancestral knowing, and begin reclaiming what was never truly lost.
Week Four — Elevate: Setting New Standards. From witnessing to declaring: what are you no longer willing to neglect? What are you ready to reclaim as sacred in your life?This week is about boundaries as an act of love; knowing your yes so your no is simply a certainty.
Week Five — Consecrate: Choosing Where We Pour Our Love. You'll map where your love and devotion are already flowing, and consciously choose what you want to keep and what you wish to reclaim.
Week Six — Release: Liberation & Ripple. We close not with an ending, but a return. You'll feel how the love you've tended this course ripples outward- to everyone and everything you're connected to- and leave with a felt sense of how this cycle lives in you, ready to begin again. And again…

Who This Is For
You don't need any prior experience with ceremony, herbalism, or spiritual practice — only a willingness to look honestly at where your life is yearning for intimacy with you to be tended, and where it doesn't.
Maybe you've been doing the work — therapy, yoga, breathwork, plant medicine — and something still feels unfinished, like you're missing the framework that ties it all together. Maybe you've felt the pull toward the sacred your whole life but were never given a way to actually live it, day to day, in your body and your home and not just on a retreat or a mat. Maybe you're simply tired of hustle, of surviving instead of tending — and you don't yet have language for what you're craving instead…
This course meets you there.
You'll feel most at home in this container if:
You sense that your body, your home, or your relationships are asking for something deeper than maintenance, and you don't yet have a practice for answering that call
You're craving a framework for the spiritual work you're already sensing you need to do. Something with structure, not just inspiration
You want language for tending your life as sacred — not "self-care" as another item on the to-do list, but devotion as a way of being
You're drawn to indigenous and ancestral wisdom and want to engage with it thoughtfully, with guidance, rather than piecing it together alone
You're in a season of change — a move, a loss, a reawakening — and want a structure to hold you through it
You're considering the deeper path — Body Templefied, or eventually certification/training— and want a grounded place to begin
Templefy Foundations is the doorway. In February, that same cycle deepens into Body Templefied — a retreat devoted entirely to the body as temple, held in Southern Bahia, Brazil. Foundations graduates will have first access [and a graduate rate] when enrollment opens.
