Our story

The body is a temple. So is the home.

TEMPL was born from a belief that the body we live in and the spaces we keep are reflections of our inner world. When we tend to one, we tend to the other.

Pressing rose oil into the skin
tend to one, and you tend to the other.
A rose
with love, from one mother to another.

My journey

Finding my way back to me.

  1. i.

    The rose

    The rose found me long before TEMPL did. I have journeyed deeply with her, through the archetypes of the rose, rose reiki and traditional Mexican rose healings. Each path taught me the same thing: that softness is its own kind of strength. Rose opens the heart and asks us to receive, the very thing so many of us forget how to do.

  2. ii.

    Becoming a mother

    Then I became a mother, and like so many women, I gave everything away. My days belonged to everyone else, and somewhere in the beautiful chaos I lost sight of the woman I was before. I did not need a retreat or a whole day off. I needed a few minutes that were only mine.

  3. iii.

    Finding time for me

    So I began to tend to myself in small ways. Rose oil pressed into my skin after the shower. Incense lit with an intention before the house wakes. A candle blown out when the day is done. These moments brought me home to myself, and TEMPL is how I share them, so you can find yours too, without guilt and without waiting for permission.

“The objects we surround ourselves with shape how we feel. We sense it before we can name it: our outer spaces quietly shaping our inner ones.”

Our inspiration

Every day begins with an offering.

In many traditions around the world, the day begins with an offering at the home shrine: flowers, incense, a little food. It is a small act of devotion and of reciprocity, a way of giving back to the place that holds us.

TEMPL grew from a deep respect for these rituals, and a wish to bring the same reverence into the modern home.

What we make

Protect your pause.

Amongst the beautiful chaos of life, the pause is where you come back to yourself. Our botanical oils, mists, incense and vessels are made to help you find it and keep it, so a morning skin ritual, an evening candle or a few quiet breaths become something sacred.

How we work

We know every maker.

We build close relationships with our makers, growers and suppliers, so we understand the heart of each piece and the story it carries. We are working toward greater sustainability in everything we do, and we give back where we can.
