HIGHDEN TEMPLE
Highden Temple is a Mystery School for soul initiation, leadership,
magic and the creation of soul culture.
Built in New Zealand in 1897, Highden Temple is surrounded by manicured gardens, a protected wild forest and a 28 stone mandala consciously embedded to hold the vibration of this work.
Highden is a place where a new expression of culture, spiritual education and soul community come together; we are road testing a new map for civilisation that reflects an embodied approach to life, love and a sacred relationship with the earth.
SHAMBALLA SCHOOL
Highden is host to Shamballa School which was first established here in 2000.
This is a rich reservoir of esoteric teachings in the Trans-Himalayan tradition. They are focused on the revelation of the monad or life aspect and its integration with soul and personality.
Working with monadic energy is an essential part of what makes Highden a modern mystery school and accelerates the process of individual and group soul initiation.
Retreats and teachings will be offered from time to time.
HIGHDEN
MYSTERY SCHOOL
Highden is entering the next phase of its journey to becoming a living mystery school dedicated to soul initiation for the emerging civilisation.
Instead of a six week temple training, we are now opening our doors for six months every year, 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.

THE CALLING: A PATH TO INITIATION
The Calling is a week-long residential, experiential training exploring the journey of soul, embodiment, and spiritual initiation.
These trainings will be held around the globe from 2026 onwards and offer a clear access point into soul work for those who are standing on a threshold of initiation.
Our next week long will be in Limerick, Ireland this December.
Applications are now open.
"The temples are not just places of refuge for those fleeing a civilisation in decline or looking for an alternative culture within the prevailing system.
They are the very breath of the new arriving.
They are landed by free souls who have liberated themselves from the gravity of survival and are instead listening to that which has been waiting in their own bodies and the earth itself,
longing to be met with love and danced in freedom."
