WCC Toronto Temple
Public Classes & Circles
Our public classes and rituals are held every Sunday throughout the year, at The University of Toronto Multifaith Centre (569 Spadina Ave, 2nd floor, main activity hall), unless otherwise specified below. Class begins at 4 pm and circle at 7 pm. Please Note: Class topics are subject to change.
The classes follow a year-long cycle that starts at Samhain each year, but students can start at any point during the year and attend as many or as few classes as they wish. They are offered on a drop-in basis, with no advance registration required.
Both circles and classes are open to the public, and are all welcome to attend, regardless of their level of knowledge and experience (or lack thereof), though minors require the permission of a parent or guardian. Admission is free, but donations are gladly welcomed.

About Feast Foods
When "feast foods" are requested for a sabbat or other special occasion, this means that people should bring some sort of food or drink to share in a potluck dinner after the ritual. Bringing feast foods for these events isn't required, but it is encouraged.
Because the sabbats are seasonally based, it is preferable to bring food that is seasonally appropriate and/or traditional to that sabbat. The class prior to each sabbat will usually contain a section on what foods are associated with that day, and there are a number of excellent resources on the web for seasonal foods in the southern Ontario area, including the following:
- Seasonal Eating guide from the Toronto Farmers' Market Network
- Seasonal Ontario recipes blog
- Foodland Ontario availability guide (includes a recipes section)
Please note that the U of T Multifaith Centre does have a small kitchen available for refrigerating and warming up feast foods. However, they also have a very strict no-alcohol policy, so please do not bring wine or any other alcoholic beverage to sabbat feasts.
