Welcome to our Samhain Temple,
                                                                                           Samhain is the ancient pagan Celtic festival of this land. It is the Celtic New year, the end and beginning of the natural growing cycle – the most significant of the four quarterly festivals, falling midpoint between autumn equinox and mid-winter solstice. Samhain celebrates the harvest reaped and complete. It ushers in ‘the dark half of the year” and connects us to our ancestors, and heritage.  It is the Celtic New year, the end and beginning of the natural growing cycle – the most significant of the four quarterly festivals, falling midpoint between autumn equinox and mid-winter solstice.Where the old year dies, and a new one is born into creation darkness, the Veil between the worlds - spirit otherworld and human physical world, grows thin.

In this Temple, we will dance and feast with the living and the dead (a deeply tantric practice), honouring the life death, re-birth cycle of nature. There will be fire and sparks, spices and warming flavours and also, space for grieving, letting go of what no longer serves us. We will ask the Crone Goddess and Horned God to guide our Eros on this journey into the dark, womblike, sensual mystery together and alone.

Come and join us as we walk into the darkness, for a deep sensual and soulful temple, held by woods with falling leaves, in the  intimacy of nature of EarthHeart, Forest of Dean.

The first half of the day will be an invitation to  open  our bodies, let go of what we no longer need, call in the ancestors and meet ourselves and each other through the embodied container of ritual, tantric meditative practices, and temple traditions.

The second half of temple will open to a free space, to play solely with yourself, in supported self-pleasure, and with each other.  You may also practise witnessing, in stillness, or in play. A thanks giving for the year passed and a celebration of the year just arriving in - the wheel of the seasons turn.

This Temple is open to those who have experience in temple or ritual sex-positive spaces. A certain level of awareness, openness and willingness to explore is essential for your own self-care and also the synergy of the group.  We invite you to come just as you are, and feel. We know that being in these environments can bring up a lot of emotions. This is a safe space to welcome them and work with them in an embodied, held and ritual temple space. The Temple will be held throughout. 

FOR COUPLES: Please make your agreements together before you arrive at Temple. It is totally fine if you wish to stay purely with each other during the Temple.

This is a non-genital to genital penetration space.
