We invite you to partake in the spiritual life of The Temple of Isis, home of the Isis Oasis Retreat, by joining us for our daily noon rites or by meditating at our shrines.

The space
You are welcome to partake in the spiritual life of The Temple of Isis, home of the Isis Oasis Sanctuary, by joining us for daily noon rites or by simply meditating at any of the numerous shrines and altars at our beautiful sanctuary. The Temple of Isis is the largest and oldest interfaith sanctuary dedicated to the Sacred Feminine in North America. We believe that all genuine offerings of the human heart are accepted by the Divine. Our sanctuary is the oldest modern spiritual community outside the California Missions.

It was established in 1880 as the north american center from the Baha'i faith, they left in 1974. From 1974 - 1976 this site was the home of the only Cannabis commune in the USA, founded and led by Dennis Peron, Godfather of the Medical Cannabis movement. From 1976, Our temple was founded by well known beatnik and enamel artist Loreon Vigne as a sanctuary for all souls. During our time here, we have played host to artists like Andy Warhol, The Velvet Underground and the Grateful Dead. Today we operate as a wildlife sanctuary and a transitional housing program to help all souls in need.

Free Wi-Fi and a coffee and tea bar are available for all guests to use in our spacious dining pavilion. A small library, collections of puzzles and games, and a gas fireplace provide a cozy setting in which to relax and unwind.

Visit our community garden, or request an animal tour to see our menagerie of exotic rescued cats, birds, and reptiles! We are a licensed 501(c) non-profit and any tax-deductible donations go towards the care and upkeep of our animals and grounds.
