THE HIGHDEN WEEK LONG
NIKILLA TEMPLE, FINLAND
SUNDAY 15TH AUGUST - SUNDAY 23RD AUGUST 2026
Join us this August in Finland where Nikkila Temple will be hosting the Highden Week Long.
​
Nikkilä Temple is dedicated to humanity’s Soul Initiation, the path of Freedom and Love.
​
Encompassing 46 acres/ 18.5 hectares of magical and powerful land in Finland, and 1.2 km/ 0.75 miles of lakeshore, Nikkilä is a living Temple, a vortex, a School, a home, and a community.
​
Nikkilä Temple is symbolic of the world that is coming.
​
A world where humans live as embodied souls, recognize Spirit at their core, and know they are on this planet with a purpose.
​
A world where soul and body are recognized equally for their wisdom, love, and power. Humanity that acknowledges the divinity in matter and sacredness of our existence with every breath, every step, and every action.
​
A world of humans who deeply listen to and rejoice at co-creating with this earth and the cosmos. Who live in harmony and mutual reciprocity with this planet and all its kingdoms.
​
A humanity that is re-connected to the inherent abundance of the earth, and ourselves as part of that nature, ceasing to live in scarcity, fear, separation, and abuse of power. A world that stands for and as Love, whatever name you choose for it; be it freedom, truth, the divinity in the matter, or otherwise.
​
A world that is truly and fully ALIVE, here, now!
