welcome to mandira

Mandira is a sacred dwelling for heart-opening and remembering. Rooted in Sanskrit, mandira (मंदिर) means “temple” or “abode of the divine.” It carries the essence of mana (mind, spirit) and dira (dwelling, sacred space).

Founded by Maggie Taylor and Sue Longo, Mandira is more than a place — it is a frequency, a living current of devotion, presence, and transformation. Every offering here is held in reverence, a remembrance of spirit, and an opening into possibility.

Together, Maggie and Sue tend Mandira as a sanctuary where healing, ceremony, community, and loving awareness converge. Ceremony is the heartbeat of this space — a rhythm of remembrance that calls us back to our essence and connects us to the cycles of the earth, the cosmos, and one another. Guided by devotion and presence, every offering at Mandira is a doorway into transformation and a return to the truth of who you are.

You are welcome here.

Our Offerings:

Yoga
Classes that blend breath, embodiment, and awareness. Styles include vinyasa, hatha, restorative, meditative, and kundalini, each guided with intention to support strength, flexibility, and inner alignment.

Meditation
Practices that cultivate stillness, presence, and clarity — from mindfulness to mantra to visualization.

Ceremony
Our signature offering. Rooted in connection to the divine within and aligned with the moon cycles, our ceremonies weave ritual, cacao, astrology, and thematic guidance to honor thresholds and open pathways of transformation.

Nervous System Management & Somatic Healing
Breathwork, intuitive movement, and body-based practices to regulate the nervous system, release stored tension, and restore your natural state of calm.

Energy Healing
Reiki and multidimensional practices that restore balance, alignment, and deep spiritual connection.

Sacred Sound
Crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and vibrational sound journeys that shift frequency and invite profound healing.

Workshops
Gatherings with esteemed teachers we know and love, offering new dimensions of wisdom, practice, and community connection.

The Space

Located in the heart of downtown Fairfield, Connecticut, Mandira is infused with intentional energy. Every detail is curated with care and vibration: crystals, sacred symbols, elemental altars, crystal-infused props, and the resonance of sound. The space itself invites deep presence — grounding, expansive, and alive with possibility. Learn more about our space here.

Mandira is a temple of remembrance. A place to return home to yourself.
