Temenos — from the Greek: A sacred place of spiritual, emotional and psychological transformation.

The
word “Temenos" comes from the Greek language and refers to the sacred
precinct where drama was performed for the purpose of what we today
would call spiritual, emotional and psychological transformation.

Dear Friends of Dr. C.G. Jung, What would Dr. Jung have thought of the Internet? I would pose this question to all of our visitors of this site, as I
find it a fascinating one -- certainly as there is now a growing global
sharing of collective experiences and access to a new universe of
ideas. Welcome to the Temenos Institute website. In addition to being the
only state licensed psychiatric service in the Fairfield Connecticut
area, the Temenos Institute is a global center for learning and study
based on the work of C. G. Jung. We have some new news, of course - We are having an Open House at Temenos On Sunday, September 21, 4-6 PM. Please join us!
- We are going be adding previous lectures and written works that I and other distinguished colleagues have written, and we will be posting them in our archive section.
- We have added links on our website to other sites which have been created by Jungian therapists, academic institutions, associations, and students of Dr. Jung around the world that offer services, books and resources based on Jungian studies. We welcome links to other centers of Jungian studies and therapy wherever they may be around the world.
Please also contact us directly by
telephone or email through the site for more information about the
Temenos Institute and our activities.
We hope to hear from you!
