Origin Story

The Chapel of Roses was conceived by the eternal call to prayer that lives inside inner-most chamber of the heart. Our mission is to provide a sanctuary for all souls to share the wisdom of devotion. We are a collective of life-long scholars remembering the creative nature of faith. The Chapel of Roses exists to serve the sacraments of a sacred life to enrich the fertile soils of Heaven on Earth. We are a garden of many blossoms and together we rise.

Johannah Tara Jaya

The Chapel of Roses was born from the heart of Johannah Tara Jaya after 33 years of living a life centered in prayer. Originally raised in the Catholic Church, with Rose of Lima as her Confirmation Saint, Johannah has explored a wide scope of spiritual practices and interfaith devotions. She is deeply inspired by the practices of Indigenous Wisdom, the Lineage of the Magdalene, and the ancient beauty of sacred geometry.

After a decade of successfully devoting herself solely to her artistic growth and expression as a painter, Johannah has refocused her creative power to build The Chapel of Roses and welcome all who are ready to rise.

“When We Rise We Become Roses.”
