At the darkest time of the year, a thread of magic..

The Temple is a shared group journey that runs from October to March each year. You won’t need to set aside a lot of time, but it might be the deepest dive you have ever taken.

My belief is that when we go deeper into ourselves, into the possibilities presented by different types of awareness, we get the opportunity to unblock ourselves, to unburden ourselves and to work towards greater meaning, expansion and joy in the everyday.

The Temple is a place to do that.

“I really loved the monthly sit downs, no excuses, in the calendar. A time to calm into myself, turn off the phone, and disappear from the “real world” for a moment. I still fight with meditation / calming the mind and visualizing but after six months it feels easier to lean into this side of myself. I only wish it had been 12 months!”

— Liv, Germany

what to expect

Why a Temple?

I grew up as a practicing Christian, but as an adult, I have never felt able to attach myself to a particular religion or way of life, but some of my most amazing experiences of my life have been those that have been touched by the spiritual, by the sacred. It is a feeling of something more meaningful, something deeper than the surface human experiences that we are living day-to-day. And the more we invite that understanding in, the more it begins to filter upwards and outwards into our daily lives. We begin to bring more soul into the everyday, and that changes everything.

The Temple becomes both a symbolic place that we visit in our guided journeying together, and also something that we carry inside ourselves, the magic within.

“I have worked with Lorna for a number of years, so joining the Temple for me felt like an extension of the journey that I was already on, and I knew I would continue to grow in my awareness of myself, as has been my experience of working with Lorna throughout .
I have been seeking guidance on big decisions of late and hoped that this journey would help give clarity on that. I also have become more curious about tuning in to my energy field and hoped to deepen this awareness .
The 6 months went in a flash and I always looked forward to our monthly meets . The music always hit the right note be it invigorating , relaxing or even challenging at times . The visualisations were powerful and there was a real sense of connectedness with my fellow temple participants. It was such a safe space and a real feeling of trust to share that space with other people who were strangers to me. Each month the themes resonated with me and there was a sense that I was meant to be there.

I think taking the time out to focus on oneself and to journal, meditate, dance and connect would benefit anyone who is open to the possibility of trying something different and have the mindset of wanting to continue to grow themselves.”

Is this for me?

Perhaps you long for more meaning and purpose in your life

Maybe you feel frustrated in parts of your life that you seem unable to change

You may even feel almost desperate for change, and yet also feel scared by it

It may feel that weeks, months, even years pass by and you find that you are still not moving on from parts of your life that feel dissatisfying

Perhaps you would simply like a regular, connecting practice in a group, that you can do at home

Most of the people that I work with are, perhaps like you, living ‘normal’ and ‘conventional’ lives. Many of them had never considered themselves spiritual or done much, if any, energy or inner work before working with me. But there has been something within them, a knowing, or a sense that there must be more. I specialise in supporting people to start to uncover their truest essence, the flame that lives in all of us.

Will I have time for this?

The beauty of working like this over 6 months is that there is no rush. We can allow ourselves to feel the luxury of enough time. You will only need to devote an hour or two per month, but I do encourage you to see this experience as a ‘thread of magic’ that weaves through your daily life; into your thinking, your being, your healing and your growth, making a difference to your everyday. This is when change and evolution can begin to happen for you in the outer world.

There is no specific goal, it is an exploration. And on this inner expedition you will start to discover, learn and connect to parts of yourself that you haven’t before.

When we uncover those places, we evolve. And when we evolve, we can make the changes we so desire. The patterns we repeat, the stories we tell ourselves, the fear that comes in so many different disguises; these are our teachers and our companions as we go into the Temple to grow.

“The six months of the Temple have punctuated and documented an incredibly difficult six months, but each session has given me time to step back and assess. I am not a ‘woo-woo’ person and this has been out of my comfort zone, but for me, if the result is that I can smile and release the anger, then amazing!”

— Annika, London

What to expect?

We will come together once a month for a live call, which will be recorded if you can’t make the time. These calls will include movement (away from camera!), reflection, some journalling and a guided visual journey to the Temple of Light. The monthly themes will not be fixed in advance, but will unfold as we go, so although I cannot lay out an itinerary for you, I can tell you that we will be:

working to access our deepest wisdom and knowing
expanding our capacity to work with visualisations
experiencing deep energetic clearing
learning to work with and support our own energy field
moving towards uncovering and cultivating our inner power/skills/gifts
deepening our creative capacity
cultivating the courage to take the next purposeful steps in our lives

About Me

I recently read a passage in a book that resonated so strongly with who I am, and what I want to bring to the world. It spoke about how Angeles Arrien, American anthropologist and educator, taught

‘how to walk a mystical path with practical feet’

It says, in few words, how I wish to touch the lives that come into contact with mine; to open those lives to greater possibility, greater mystery and their own wisdom, but in a way that feels real for them, that stretches their comfort zone, but doesn’t blow it wide open; a journey that they can sustain and enjoy.

Occasionally, when clients have experiences during sessions with me, they ask me if I am a witch! But I am quick to tell them that I will be going home to make scrambled eggs after our session, or some other normal, usual, mundane task! That, for me, is the key to my work. We can’t just disappear up a mountain or set aside hours a day to reflect and meditate. But that shouldn’t mean that we can’t start to glimpse the deeper meanings and the magic behind our daily lives.

In a world of quick fixes and instant gratification, can we begin to see our lives as an unfolding, to see connections between things, to re-frame the ‘good’ and ‘bad’ happenings and see more of our experiences as teachers?

Perhaps, but to do this, we need space, guidance and support.

This is what I hope the Temple will offer.

Working in a group

There is something very potent about working in a group. Even if you feel a bit shy or reticent (it’s normal to think ‘What will the other people be like?’ ‘Is this really for someone like me?’ Is this going to be embarrassing/weird/uncomfortable’), please let me reassure you.

My intention is always to create a safe space with absolutely no expectation of you to interact if you don’t want to. You will certainly be having your own, totally unique experience, but I have learnt how useful and reassuring it can be to be part of a group - and how rich it can be to hear others’ experiences and share your own. For this reason, there will be an optional private WhatsApp group where you can also ask me questions as well as interact with other members of the group.

Do you have questions? Please message me here

What will I get out of this?

This may go against all marketing principles :-), but I can’t make you any promises about how this will go for you. This isn’t a quick fix, there are no guarantees and I won’t solve all your life problems! But I wholeheartedly believe in the transformative power of inner work when it is also translated into action in our outer life. I will support and encourage you in taking any learnings, intuitions or nudges that you experience and translating them into safe, sustainable and thought-through change.

All of my work is about that sort of change.

Action doesn’t need to involve dramatic and impressive life shifts. It can simply be an evolution in how we value ourselves, how we create healthy boundaries, how we take steps towards or away from certain elements in our lives..

This journey may feel challenging at times. It will almost certainly feel emotional. It may offer us the opportunity to compassionately look at areas of our lives that we’d rather ignore or pretend aren’t there. And we need to see them if we want change, because the only person that can transform us, is ourself. Nothing and no-one will complete us, save us, rescue us.. It truly is an inside job.

still not sure?

I will be running a FREE 45-minute online info and taster session on Tuesday 23 September at 8pm. Expect music, movement (away from camera!) a beautiful guided journey and time for questions. Register for that here

Can’t make that time? The call will be recorded.

The Temple is a place where we can be supported and support each other to take the small steps towards understanding our truth, accepting that we all feel fear and growing anyway.
