Full Circle Temple (also known as the Women's Temple, or the Goddess Temple) is a place of worship and community center for women located in Portland, Oregon. It was founded on November 11, 1995 by a Portland businesswoman who converted her former futon shop for use by the local community as a space open to self-identified women and girls, and male children under the age of two.
The temple is a non-profit religious organization incorporated in Oregon and is governed by a consensus-based, all-volunteer council. Its ministries include a weekly food distribution program, as well as the observance of eight major ceremonial days of Samhain, Yule, Imbolc, Vernal Equinox, Beltaine, Litha, Lammas and Autumnal Equinox, and both full moon and new moon rites. Space for workshop and healing spaces is available by donation, guest rooms are available on a sliding fee scale.
Ceremonies are often modeled after feminist witchcraft traditions, officiated by anyone who has an interest in priestessing rituals.
