The SPF supports Moots and Groups around Scotland.
Please note:
We can support moots and groups by listing them here on our website and in our members only digital magazine eSPIN. People who run or are interested in running moots or groups are welcome to contact us if they would like to discuss ideas or want some support from either our Regional Coordinators or Local Organisers.
We don’t tell groups or moots how to run and won’t list a group here unless we have been given consent to do so.
We do not have a physical space that can be used for moots and groups.
If you know of a moot or group that would like to be added to this listing, please ask them to email Babs at membership@scottishpf.org with details including name of group, brief description of what you do, location for meetings and contact details for further information.
Please confirm with organisers of Moots due to COVID-19 Guidelines as status may change.

Using Ritual, drama and music - tailored to our specific needs and desires - we build a Modern Temple environment such as Dionysus himself would feel at home in. Our shamanic blend of Maenad Priestesses, fine wine and banging music result in an evening shot through with freedom, humour and truth-saying... all igniting a fire that calls the God Himself. You don't have to follow this specific belief or have pagan experience; we have spirit enough to drag you out of reality. ALL intoxication, including that of the flesh, can be a communion with the Divine. We create distinctive events that acknowledge that the past held much wisdom, and that the Mysteries are as relevant today as ever they were.
If you are of a Pentheus mindset please stay away. Meets are variable, erratic but heartfelt! Sometimes ticketed events, sometimes not. Locations vary from private land, to hired venues, to members volunteered locations. We are open to discussion in our creation of Modern space for the Ancient Divine. Facebook Group Link: www.facebook.com/groups/thetempleofdionysus/ Contact Name: Dion Sabazius Website Link: thetempleofdionysus.com, Email: thetempleofdionysus@protonmail.com
