MYSTERY SCHOOL | Highden Temple

HIGHDEN MYSTERY SCHOOL

Highden is entering the next phase of its journey as a living Mystery School dedicated to soul initiation for the emerging civilisation.

This reset has come through our experiences of previous cycles and listening to the being of Highden.

As of this September 2026, instead of a six week temple training, we are now opening our doors for six months every year between September 21 - March 21, with the two temple initiations forming part of a larger living mystery school experience.

There will now be three streams that you can join as part of the 6 month journey.

Soul Initiation, Group Initiation and Sacred Living.

Each stream offers a unique opportunity to be part of this ongoing adventure.

Throughout the 6 months there will be a core team holding the rhythms and the daily life of the temple.

They will offer daily movement, meditation and teaching transmissions as well as periodic temples, rituals and group rites for the whole field.

Highden is continuing to shift into a living, layered culture of transformational living and we invite you to join us.

To read more about each stream or apply to join us, find everything you need below.

THREE STREAMS

SOUL INITIATION

Highden is a Mystery School dedicated to earth, humanity and the process of soul initiation.

The land, mandala, teachings and rituals are focused on supporting individuals and groups to stabilise their identity in soul and live their deep purpose.

We recognise that initiation involves integration of the soul with both spirit and matter, transcendence and immanence.

We recommend this stream for those seeking support on their soul initiation journey. It's especially helpful for anyone standing at a threshold or in a time of transition. It can be adapted both for those seeking to deepen their connection to soul purpose and for those who are living their soul purpose and wanting to resource themselves more fully from the monad, soul community and sacred land.

Our core team of experienced guides have a wide range of expertise. Starting with an in depth consultation we will help tailor a support structure specifically suited to your journey.

Some ways you can be resourced on this stream : Advanced meditation training, astrological counselling, esoteric teaching, body work, erotic and emotional integration and shamanic ritual.

CONTRIBUTION

$1000 USD per week, for food and accomodation in a shared room.

LIVING AT HIGHDEN

GROUP INITIATION

While individual initiatory work is powerful, the group process amplifies and accelerates the soul initiatory journey. If you are at a place of meaningful transition and you can take the time for a 6 week residential group journey, this is highly recommended.

We have been developing this six week Temple Initiation programme over many years now and the rhythm of two per year between the equinox will continue within the larger six month cycle. Each turning of this wheel has a theme based on the rays and we are currently in the middle of our third major cycle.

This dynamic group process is designed to include all of the components of soul initiation in the crucible of a curated archetypal journey.

The dates for our 2026/ 2027 cycles are below.

3.4 The Eros of Beauty, 5th October - 13th November.

3.5 The Mind of God, 8th February - 21st March.

CONTRIBUTION

$1000 USD per week, for food and accomodation in a shared room.

3.4 THE EROS OF BEAUTY

SACRED LIVING

This stream is for those who are wanting to be part of the mystery school field and are capable of holding their own self initiating process. It is open to graduates of previous temple trainings and selected others who have done similar work.

You would be welcome to join meditations, transmissions and rituals as part of the rhythmic culture of sacred living. Otherwise you would be self - directed in your time at Highden.

This stream would also suit those coming for solitary retreat, a creative project or specialised work that could blossom in this portal.

You will have a point person from the Highden core team to orient you to our shared culture and protocols.

CONTRIBUTION

Starting at $500 USD per week, (minimum 2 weeks) for food and accommodation in a shared room.

Private rooms avaliable on request.

There will be a limited number of opportunities for people to come and work on the land as part of experiencing Highden. This would involve three hours per day during the week.

Pricing for this option is $200 USD per week for food and accommodation.

RHYTHM & RITUAL

Highden is a 7th Ray Mystery School where we honour the divinity of matter, the devic kingdoms, and the rhythmic rituals of sacred living.

On the land we have a number of different temples and shrines, a large 28 stone mandala, labyrinth, dark room temple, fire gates, forest and two lakes. These help us integrate sacred time with sacred space.

You can see our weekly rhythm below as well as our 26/27 calender.

You may wish to coincide your stay with some of the group rites and rituals we will be holding on the land to mark the cycles of the moon, fire festivals, the solstices, equinoxs and other cosmic cycles.

THE PILLARS

Highden has a depth of beings who have played their part in our unfoldment and support the Temple. During the six month cycle there will always be a core team holding the container of the Mystery School at Highden. They will be holding meditations, ceremonies, temples and teaching practices.

Between them they have a rich experience of different pathways, traditions and practices.

These include Esoteric and Spiritual Traditions, Indigenous & Shamanic Wisdom, the Magickal Arts, Tantra, Sexuality, Embodiment and Descent Paths.

Below are the team for the first cycle and 3.4 Eros of Beauty. We will update this page regularly.
