What are 'open hours' and what to expect
Open Hours days and times:
Wednesdays 11.00 - 13.00
Saturdays 12.00 - 16.00
Wednesdays 11.00 - 13.00
Saturdays 12.00 - 16.00
We have an altar to the divine masculine as well as to the divine feminine. We recognise and celebrate that spirituality can be non-gendered and/or atheistic. We are inclusive of all spiritual paths (and we also welcome you if you don't have one). You are welcome to bring your children to visit us. All we ask is that our visitors respect our sacred space and each other.
Entry to the temple during 'open hours' times will always be free. We are all volunteers and receive no outside funding, so all donations of any amount are very gratefully received; if you can't donate, you will be just as welcome as those who can.
During 'open hours' times you are invited to come and spend time in our beautiful temple. No need to book, just find us at the end of the first-floor corridor, remove your shoes and come in. There will be a Melissa (meaning - worker bee) holding the space who will be happy to answer any questions, or to carry out a smudging or saining with our own handmade incense, essential oil mist, or our little temple bell for those who would prefer that.
If you don't feel like talking, or want to spend some time in meditation or prayer, or just to get comfortable with our blankets and cushions and give yourself permission to drift off, that will be respected. We ask everyone to put phones on silent and keep voices low in order to preserve a calm and peaceful space.
You can light a candle at one of the altars, or write a prayer, blessing or dedication and add it to the basket. These will be offered to the Goddess in a sacred fire ceremony at the next full moon.
We have a selection of oracle decks for you to use, some books and magazines to browse during your visit, colouring pencils, and children's books.
There is a small and beautiful shop selling cards, candles, incense (including our own handmade range), essential oils, jewellery, amulets and charms, handmade Ogham pendants, and other lovely things suitable for a range of budgets. We accept cash or PayPal.
If you feel like a cup of tea and a chat, the kettle will be on in our kitchen area, where you will find refreshments on offer for a small donation to cover our costs.
