Welcome to the Temple Of Peace - Maui
A Sanctuary of Universal Wisdom, Healing, and Devotion
The Temple of Peace started as a sacred vision for Kedar St. John. He received a powerful message while meditating as a monk beside a crystal lake beneath the majestic Annapurna Himalayas in Nepal. Twenty four years later the vision materialized on the lush, healing land of Maui in 2000. In the 25+ years since the temple became a reality, it has stood as a symbol of healing, education, and inspiration on the sacred island of Maui. Inspired by a divine vision in the Himalayan highlands and nurtured through years of devotion, the sanctuary represents acceptance of all faiths. It welcomes seekers eager to grow in truth, love, and transformation. The Temple of Peace is a lively spiritual haven rooted in the sacred traditions of New Thought and Ageless Wisdom, drawing from both Eastern and Western mysticism. Here, people from all backgrounds and beliefs find a welcoming spiritual home.
Our Origin: A Vision Born in the Himalayas
Our Path: Body, Mind, and Spirit Integration
Kedar St. John’s powerful message depicted a domed temple surrounded by altars representing all world faiths, glowing with celestial light and centered around a single eternal flame. That flame symbolized a timeless promise—to unite all peoples in peace, reconnect each soul to the Divine, and create a sanctuary where pilgrims could remember their true nature.
It was also where he met his beloved Shelley on the first day of spring. Together, they nurtured this vision like a sacred seed. For 24 years, they envisioned this Temple, until their dream materialized on the lush, healing land of Maui in 2000.
“Within the Temple lived a flame that burned eternally.It testified to our desires to set our spirits free. These words inspired by the vision—became the anthem of our mission.
We follow a three fold path of Body, Mind, and Spirit.
Body: We honor a functional, restorative approach that incorporates ancient practices like Ayurveda, the Five Elements of Chinese medicine, and the Essene tradition. These practices recognize that cleansing the body is a sacred act—one that resets and renews the physical temple.
Mind: By studying sacred texts, appreciating diverse wisdom traditions, sharing meditations, and engaging in shamanic practices, we cultivate inspired thought, creative insight, and an inclusive, expanded consciousness, peace, and tranquility.
Spirit: Through chanting, prayer, and joyful raising of our hearts and voices, we elevate our vibration beyond sorrow into sacred union with the Divine.
