THE SKINNY ON OUR SEXY GUESTS

Rev. Briana Lynn’s sacred studies began in 2003 when she began to travel Latin America by herself & completed her bachelor’s degree in Socio-Economics in Latin America, with a minor emphasis in the Spanish Language as Art. She later earned her NLP Masters Practitioner at NLP Marin (nlpmarin.com) & began her first holistic coaching venture, focusing on trauma-informed practices in 2010.

Rev. Briana Lynn founded The Earth Temple in 2018 with the desire to have an equality-centered council for those deeply devoted to The Mystery, & committed to staying out of the hype of dogma, authoritarianism, religiosity, domination, rapture doctrine & the intrinsic waves of manipulation in social media.

She & the other Earth Temple Council Members practice in community, holding each other close & in integrity in these wild & beautiful times.
