Samsara Rituals
At Samsara Temple, ritual is how we gather, grow, and remember who we are. Rooted in the Pagan Wheel of the Year, our ceremonies honor the natural cycles of the earth and the transformations within our own lives. Each ritual blends community connection, grounding practices, sensory experience, and open play — a space where spirituality meets embodiment, and reverence meets joy.
What we celebrate
We follow the Pagan Wheel of the Year eight seasonal festivals Sabbats that mark nature’s rhythms: Imbolc renewal, Ostara spring balance, Beltane fertility/joy, Litha high summer, Lughnasadh first harvest, Mabon second harvest/balance, Samhain(honoring the dead, and Yule return of the light. Each ritual connects the season’s theme to everyday life with grounding practices, reflection, and community play.
What to expect
Rituals usually run 60–90 minutes. We start on time with a brief intro for newcomers, then move through a simple flow: consent container → call the directions → seasonal activity/meditation → optional open play/community time → closing. You’re always free to participate at your comfort level or observe quietly.
Consent container (how we keep it safe)
Before anything begins, we set shared agreements: enthusiastic consent, clear boundaries, and respect for personal space, bodies, identities, and pronouns. We review wristbands/visual signals, how to opt in/out, and how to get support from Guardians. No touch, photos, or assumptions without explicit yes.
Calling the directions (how we open the space)
We acknowledge East, South, West, North, plus Above, Below, and Within. This orients us to breath, fire/energy, water/emotion, earth/body, the sky/cosmos, the ground/ancestors, and the inner self. It’s a short, plain-language invocation so newcomers can follow along easily.
Seasonal activity & meditation
Each ritual includes 1–2 guided engagements—things like breathwork, journaling prompts, light movement, partner or small-group reflection, or a simple craft aligned to the Sabbat. Everything is invitation-based; we explain duration, purpose, and boundaries before we begin.
Open play & community time
After the formal container, we often shift into open play/community time—social connection, dancing, rope practice, creative stations, altar offerings, or quiet decompression. The same consent rules apply. You can mingle, try a station, or simply rest and take it in.
Accessibility & neurodiversity
We keep instructions clear and paced, offer opt-outs for every activity, maintain quieter zones, and avoid surprise touch or loud sudden noises. If you need adjustments (seating, lighting, pacing), tell a Guardian—we’ll meet you where you are.
What to bring
Water bottle, comfy clothes you can move in, a journal/pen, and anything seasonal you’d like for the altar (optional). For Samhain/Yule-type rituals, small photos or names for remembrance are welcome.
Cost & vibe
Tickets start at $55 for Early Access, $66 for General Admission, and $77 for Late Entry. Each ritual is intentionally crafted to support the community and maintain the temple space — your contribution helps keep the circle thriving.
The atmosphere is grounded, sensual, and sincere — part ceremony, part celebration, always rooted in consent, curiosity, and connection. Come as you are; leave a little more yourself.
