Upcoming events.
Temple with Marta
Tending the Well.
If you ever wondered if there is anything that wants to be born uniquely through you, please keep on reading because…..
This potential longed to be activated.
This time, the Temple becomes a well, inviting us to reach beyond its surface.
Let’s delve into the nature of surfaces, the boundaries of things, and the worlds they conceal or open us to.
We exist in a world made of matter.
Is there another world beyond it?
How can we transform the mundane into the sacred?
‘Under Shower’ by Marta Sawicka
The metaphor of the well will serve us as an anchor point, a beginning of the exploration of the nature of reality we live in, or the reality that lives Us… The well is always there for you to come closer and look inside. Always.
In the Temple, we can practice awareness of how we engage with it.
This evening will kick off with an opening circle, and some storytelling, which will provide the context for our explorations and support us in landing and orienting within the space. It will be a weaving of a myth with info on attachment theory and developmental trauma, feminine and masculine principles, and creative principle of Life, with pieces on the political and cultural landscape of our world.
Then, we will open the space for the body and the senses, imagination, and intuition.
Some of the experiences will be guided, and some free-flowing.
All is an invitation.

After meeting Aya and experiencing her passion for bringing people together, I felt called to take a step toward something that has been quietly stirring within me: creating a beginner temple space in Turku.
In my life, I long for spaces where people can connect with their deep aliveness, unique essence, and inner landscapes—the very source of all the creative energy waiting to be expressed outwardly.
I'm passionate about supporting people in their expression of love, power, and freedom. As an artist, somatic coach, and "soul surgeon," I feel deeply called to serve both human and non-human experiences. Group work has emerged as a crucial way for me to integrate and share these gifts.

Since ancient times, temples have been sacred spaces anchored in intimacy and connection among community members. The way these spaces were held was fluid, guided by the needs and imagination of those present. Temples stood for a deep devotion to life, a place where people could reclaim their aliveness.
We live in a world that often prioritizes doing, achieving, and performing. In contrast, the temple offers an opportunity to slow down, to attune to our authentic experience, and to listen to how it wants to emerge. Many of us feel a deep call for purpose, and yet this search can often lead to feelings of lostness, stagnation, or even hopelessness. In this space, we’ll explore those feelings together—normalize our experiences and, in the process, find support and allyship with one another.
I’m passionate about supporting you in your journey of becoming.
The temple is free for everyone. Please reserve your spot to help us prepare for your arrival.

A Path to Temple with Marta
A Path to Temple
Our first meeting, "A Path to Temple," will have a slightly different structure from the gatherings planned further on for November and December. This initial meeting will be a sharing circle, a gentle "dipping a toe" into the space.
Together, we'll get to know one another, explore what our community needs most, and identify themes for our future gatherings.

Side by side, we will bring our words, our bodies, and our presence into the space. Slowly, without pressure, we’ll settle into this shared container. As we explore our questions, needs, and dreams, the direction of our next meetings will naturally unfold. Based on what feels alive in you, we will co-create our future gatherings together.

One thing is certain—there is no right or wrong in this space. The experience will be diverse. It may feel abstract, philosophical, or non-linear at times, inviting us to practice deep listening to the parts of ourselves that have been on the margins of our awareness. And we will be in it together.
During this meeting, I’ll explain the temple's structure and share more about its operation, opening the space for questions, reflections, and feedback.
I warmly invite you to join us at Manilla Tehdas on November 8th, when we can co-create this unique space with curiosity and openness.
No need to bring anything but your curiosity.
Free and open to all.
Limited Spots and sign-up is necessary to book your spot.
