Jessica Zdenek, MA Theology, BA Psychology, 230 Yoga Teacher, Reiki III, Priestess of the Dove Oracle Trained, Ordained Minister, Founder & Director of Taraloma Earth Temple, Divine Feminine Healing Arts Moorhead, author, singer, wife & mom.

I’ve been teaching yoga for the past ten years (a student for 23 years), enjoying the bhakti path of singing mantras, and studying the Holy Womb purification practice with Swami Sri Kaleshwar. I support people through my spiritual business Taraloma Earth Temple where I offer private yoga instruction, energy healings, and intuitive readings. I also speak and sing around town on occasion. I have birthed three kids, bonus mom, mom of cats and guinea pigs, and wife to a computer whiz.

I’ve authored three books through Taraloma Earth Temple Publications: Detoxing God is a memoir where I work through being raised in a conservative Christian military family, and how rediscovering the Goddess helped me through childhood trauma. My most recent book, The Circle of the Fall, Scenes from a Cosmic Tale, is a Greek styled imaginary adventure through time. And Paper Cranes is my first book of poetry.
