You are invited to enjoy this beautiful, sacred space. Temenos Community sits on 56 wooded acres in Chester County, Pa. It is intentionally set apart as a living sanctuary for all who desire to rest, renew, and rejuvenate. We are made up of residents and non-residents of diverse origins and backgrounds. We agree that the Sacred Land here nourishes and requires nurturing. We are all caretakers and we are all being taken care of in this natural sanctuary. We welcome communities and individuals seeking time away to nurture new ways of being, dreams and visions.
We welcome people from all paths. We value all beings. All are essential to the circle of life. At Temenos we seek to serve the whole. We value unity and we honor the beautiful diversity of this world. Come walk the winding trails of the forest and discover the hidden paths of your soul.
