Seven Stars Temple
Embodied Spirituality for Courageous, Heart-led Living
Seven Stars Temple was founded by Arkellah Irving, Senior Yoga Teacher, Water Priestess, Blue Lotus ceremonialist and Temple Guide. Her work brings together more than two decades of guiding people and communities through change with a deep devotion to embodiment, sacred practice, feminine wisdom and the living world. She creates spaces where people can slow down, listen deeply, ask courageous questions and reconnect with the wisdom of their body, heart and inner knowing.
Within Seven Stars Temple, transformation is approached as something lived. It is held with care for safety, wellbeing, personal agency and the unique pace of each person. Through Goddess Yoga, Mystery School teachings, sacred journeys, ritual, healing and oracle wisdom, you are invited to deepen self trust, explore what is ready to change and bring greater alignment into your relationships, choices, creativity, purpose and way of being in the world.
Goddess Yoga forms the embodied movement pathway of the Temple, offering weekly classes, teacher trainings, retreats and deeper journeys that weave sacred movement, nervous system nourishment, archetypal wisdom and spiritual practice.
Whether you are arriving at a threshold, seeking healing, stepping into leadership or feeling the stirrings of a new chapter, Seven Stars Temple offers a place to meet yourself more fully and move forward with greater presence, courage and connection to the life you are here to create.
What We Offer

Goddess Yoga - Classes and YTT
The word ‘Goddess’ embodies every individual's divine strength and potential.
Goddess Yoga is more than a phrase. It’s a living transmission — a sacred path that reclaims yoga as a spiritual and embodied practice for the feminine soul.
Join our beautifully nurturing yoga sessions that blend meditation and contemplation with soulful movement. Choose between the calming embrace of Yin Yoga—where you relax, stretch, and breathe—or the invigorating Feminine Slow Flow Yoga that combines strength-based Hatha and Vinyasa. Each class is designed to enhance vitality, deepen your breath, and improve flexibility, balance, strength, and stamina. Goddess Yoga Shala is 15 minutes out of Mt Barker, Adelaide Hills, on a private horse property.
Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) on offer is 200hr Hatha, 50 hr Yin and 30 hr Restorative or 1:1 bespoke YTT.
Sacred Journeys - Bali and Egypt

Step beyond the everyday and into a living initiation. Our Sacred Journeys are immersive retreats designed for those who crave beauty, devotion, and deep embodiment — woven through yoga, meditation, ceremony, and the guiding presence of goddess and god archetypes.
Magical Bali invites you into tropical restoration: sunrise practices, temple offerings, water purification, lush jungle quiet, and ocean-breathed spaciousness. Days flow with gentle ritual, nourishing meals, and time to soften into your feminine rhythm — supported by sisterhood, artistry, and spacious healing.
Egypt Pilgrimages open the gates of ancient remembrance. Walk the temples, feel the Nile’s timeless current, and receive teachings through the living mythos of Isis, Hathor, Ma’at, and more. Each pilgrimage is held as a devotion-led journey where breath, movement, and sacred site energy awaken clarity, confidence, and soul leadership.
These journeys are crafted with care, reverence, and practical support — guiding you home to your body, your voice, and the luminous path you carry.
Mystery School - Alchemy of Her Mentorship

Your dreams are sacred. Your voice is powerful. The alchemy begins within.
Alchemy of Her is a private mystery school mentorship for the woman ready to awaken and amplify her elemental magic, embody feminine power, and manifest from deep soul alignment — where head, heart, body and soul move as one.
Across 6 or 12 months, you’ll be held in a temple space of elemental initiations (water, fire, earth, air & ether), monthly one-on-one mentoring, energetic transmissions, and tailored rituals that anchor your transformation and strengthen your sacred magnetism — the kind that shifts what you attract, what you receive, and what you’re available for.
The journey flows through:
-
Months 1–3: Egyptian Codex Initiation — Nile temple codes, symbols, sacred oils, sound and lunar ritual
-
Months 4–6: Triple Goddess Codex — Maiden, Mother, Crone integration for embodied clarity and manifestation
-
Optional 12-month extension: Hearth Keeper Priestess Initiation — womb + fire lineage, sacred space holding, spiritual leadership
Enter the Seven Stars Temple
Enter Seven Stars Temple as you would a sanctuary: with breath, with devotion, with a willingness to be moved.
The name carries a celestial code, the seven-pointed star of Sheshat, the Egyptian goddess of sacred record, wisdom, and divine measurement, whose emblem shines above her brow like a compass for what matters. It also gestures to the Pleiades, the Seven Sisters, a star cluster honoured across many cultures, including Aboriginal cultures across Australia, where Seven Sisters stories are held as living knowledge woven through land and sky.
Here, the guiding thread is water, the element that softens, clarifies, cleanses, and carries memory. The Blue Lotus rises from the waters as a symbol of solar renewal and sacred rebirth in ancient Egypt, opening with the light like a daily blessing.
In Seven Stars Temple, water becomes the pathway, from the home waters of the Adelaide Hills on Peramangk Country, where creeks and springs carry the hush of the ranges, to Bali’s temple waters and ocean edges, to the Egyptian Nile’s timeless current, and into the inner rivers of your own body, where desire, devotion, and direction meet, and life begins to shape itself around what feels true.
