Announcing “The Temple Guardian” Newsletter: New Stories, Fresh Insights, and the Debut of Roots of Change

At Deep Root Center for Spiritual Studies, we believe that quiet stewardship and thoughtful presence can transform not just our space, but our community. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the next chapter in our journey: the launch of The Temple Guardian newsletter.

Why “The Temple Guardian”?

The Temple Guardian is more than a concept—it’s a living role within our Center. It’s about tending to the environment, supporting our community, and embodying the spirit of service in small, consistent ways. In the same way, this newsletter is designed to keep you connected, informed, and quietly inspired as you move through your own practice.

What’s Inside Each Issue?

• Class & Community Updates: Stay in the loop on classes, workshops, and new offerings

• Reflections from Master Sheldon: Insights, practical wisdom, and subtle reminders for daily life

• Movement Tips & Resources: Qigong, Kung Fu, and wellness practices you can try at home

• Stories from the Community: Experiences and perspectives from fellow students and guardians

• Early Access: Be the first to know about special events, offers, and new programs

Introducing Roots of Change: Our New Comic Strip

We’re especially excited to debut “Roots of Change,” an original comic strip featured exclusively in The Temple Guardian. Through simple, thoughtful storytelling and art, Roots of Change brings to life the small moments of transformation, humor, and insight that happen both on and off the mat. It’s a gentle invitation to see yourself—and your practice—through a new lens.

A Quiet Invitation

Like the role of the Temple Guardian itself, this newsletter is meant to support you—sometimes in ways you’ll notice, and sometimes in ways that are almost invisible, but deeply felt. Read, reflect, and enjoy. We look forward to sharing the journey with you.

See you in the next issue—comic strip and all.
