New Lands is a beautiful English country home surrounded by gardens and is the administrative centre for the White Eagle work. Just across the garden, on the adjacent hillside, is the White Temple, itself surrounded by gardens and landscaped meadowland. The new 'Rose Garden of Communion' is now open and can be entered directly from a side door in the Temple, or through a beautiful wrought iron 'Star' gate from the Temple grounds! It is a quiet place to sit and commune with loved
ones in spirit.
The Temple welcomes visitors from 2.30 to 5.00pm (or dusk if earlier), Sunday to Thursday inclusive, except when a service is in progress. At other times (Monday to Friday, 9.00am to 5.00pm) visitors can see the Temple by contacting New Lands office. Visitors are also welcome to the LIBRARY, and members may use the Library of Brotherhood and the Astrological Library.

Shiningstars Parent and Child Playgroup
A playgroup with a difference – meeting at New Lands during term times on Friday mornings 9.45am - 12.15pm in the Meeting Room in the Temple. Our friendly group shares ideas on nurturing young children in a loving supportive way. Many of the ideas are inspired by Steiner philosophy, using natural materials in craft, stories, music and play, as well of course as being inspired by White Eagle's loving and non judgmental teachings. Weather permitting each morning session will include a walk in our beautiful grounds and gardens. Cost per session £3 per parent and child, plus an extra 50p for each additional sibling. All are welcome.
Star Meditations are held in the Temple or New Lands chapel (please see events schedule for venue) at 3.00pm, on the third Sunday in each month during weeks the Lodge is open. These meditations are open to all and are largely silent, but include prayer for all who suffer. The Temple grounds and gardens are open from 2.00pm to 5.00pm for visitors to enjoy.
World Peace Meditations are held in the Temple on the first Wednesday of each month at 7.00pm.
Everyone is welcome to these monthly meditations for unity, understanding and peace especially amongst the world's religious communities.
All that is asked of those participating is a wish to support the ideal of peace and understanding, and a trust that people working at an inner level can make a difference.
These relaxed, open and friendly meditations will last approx 30 minutes.
If you would be interested in a series of classes in meditation please email

A Book Group, to which everyone is welcome, meets at 1.30pm on the third Sunday of each month in the Temple Meeting Room or New Lands lounge (see Events schedule for venue).
