Vacation Temple School

Early Bird Registration: $99 
Intentionally & thoughtfully curated spaces for a full weekend seeped in ceremony and ritual, welcome home.

Part summer camp, part spiritual school, part sleepover, part community gathering, and part sacred adventure. VTS is a chance to step outside your ordinary life for a little while and enter a different kind of classroom.

❋ LEARN

VTS provides hands-on educational sessions where participants actively explore spiritual and practical topics together.

❋ CREATE

Attendees engage in creative projects that encourage self-expression and deepen their connection to seasonal temple themes.

❋  PLAY

Play fosters joy and social bonding through casual games, sleepovers, and camp-style activities.

❋ THE ELEMENTS

The curriculum integrates earth, air, fire, and water to anchor workshops, rituals, and daily practices in natural cycles.

The itinerary balances structured ceremony, ritual and hands-on learning with the carefree, communal spirit of a summer camp sleepover. It seamlessly blends sacred work (such as element guided crafts, temple practices, and silent reflection) with cozy, lighthearted moments like shared meals, casual games, and collective cabin cleanup.

  • “I created Vacation Temple School because I believe some of the most important things we can learn are the things nobody ever taught us... How to connect, how to communicate, how to honor ourselves and each other, and how to build a life that feels like our own. VTS is an invitation to learn, play, explore, and remember that becoming who we are doesn't have to be a solitary journey. We get to figure it out together.”

    — Abi, Executive Director and Founder of Samsara Temple

  • "It felt like coming home. From the craft times being steeped in intention, to being able to help with the immersive [4D] meditation, to. thefull moon ritual where we made our own moon water, it was all such a blast. I enjoyed every bit of it. It was a new experience and one I think of fondly. It was a great community experience and helped me make new friends. I loved it and would attend again!"

    — Stormy, Temple Fae and Goblin for Mabon VTS 26’

  • “My time at VTS was truly amazing. Serving as a facilitator being the Earth element was a honor, especially having the opportunity to guide others in the practice of setting boundaries as a form of self-honor. The space was filled with such joy and playfulness, from our games to the creative craft sessions. But the real highlight was witnessing the deep, inner child work that our patrons engaged in. It was a beautiful reminder of how essential that work is for our growth. If you are looking for a space to reconnect to that inner child and play, VTS is a truly magical experience.“

    — Charles, VTS facilitator 

Vacation Temple School is an immersive, hands-on weekend sanctuary that pairs the deep, elemental rituals of a spiritual retreat with the joyful, community-building fun of a summer camp sleepover.

  • Vacation Temple School isn't a passive retreat where you sit quietly and listen to lectures - it’s an immersive, experiential sanctuary. Part spiritual school, part summer camp, and part sleepover, VTS lets you step out of your ordinary life and into a vibrant classroom built on action, curiosity, and authentic connection. You’ll learn by doing, trying, and growing alongside a welcoming community.

  • We believe profound spiritual growth doesn't have to feel heavy or overly formal. VTS perfectly balances rich, ceremony-filled ritual and elemental workshops with lighthearted, nostalgic fun. From evening temple practices and silent reflection to casual games, shared meals, and late-night cabin chats, you get the depth of sacred work paired with the joy of a camp sleepover.

  • Anchored in the natural cycles of the year, VTS weaves the four elements—earth, air, fire, and water—into every aspect of the weekend. Through hands-on crafts, seasonal reflection, and practical workshops, you’ll leave with tangible tools to ground your daily life, align with the season, and return home deeply recharged.

  • VTS throws out the rigid expectations of perfectionism. Grounded in the belief that the most important lessons aren't learned by sitting quietly, this space encourages you to learn by trying, asking questions, and even making mistakes. It’s a supportive environment where you can drop your guard, experiment with new ideas, and build real confidence alongside people who cheer you on.

  • In a world full of quick interactions and online spaces, VTS offers the rare gift of true, present-moment connection. Shared meals, group chores, and joint rituals quickly turn strangers into a tight-knit community. You'll step away not just with new skills and insights, but with a warm, lasting network of friends who share your passion for sacred exploration.
