Mellissa channels for Tanya Lynn, founder of Sistership Circle, who has been building De La Diosa in Costa Rica with her husband, Brent.

They followed spirit to take a huge leap. They moved with their kids, bought raw land, and began building an actual goddess temple and retreat center. A real one with money, builders, mud, exhaustion, and marriage in the middle of it.

The dream is huge: a protected place for feminine devotion, Earth, spirit, community, and the old memory of temple life to have somewhere real to land.

And it has been hard.

Real-life hard. The kind where the build, the relationship, the finances, and the timing all start pressing on the same bruise. Tanya was feeling that a pause was needed, while Brent was afraid they might lose the builders or miss the window.

Which, yes. Of course.

Builders need a plan. Money likes a plan. A scared nervous system can feel a whole lot like divine timing.

But Ma named the pause differently.

What Tanya called a pause, Ma called the humbling. The resting. The coming back into connection.
