sanctuary and retreat
In 1997 it was a field of fynbos and scrub. Today it is a beautiful garden sanctuary
designed to promote tranquility, mutual understanding and acceptance, beauty and spiritual awareness.
It has been the passion of a man who lived for a while the life of a monk. By his hand Temenos is
dedicated to the Beloved, and finds expression in a totally non-sectarian way.
As Rumi reminds us,
the heart when open is capable of
every form. When you visit Temenos you will take away
more than
images. Until then, take pleasure in anticipation.
Silent Retreat
May 20 - 23 and June 23 - 27
Autumn is an ideal time to hibernate and you can participate in a 4-day Silent Retreat. Come away
to the peace and quiet of the garden, wrap yourself in a mantle of silence, and surrender to the
gifts of solitude. We offer daily meditation, yoga and country walks as well as a number of
healing therapies.
Or perhaps you just want to retreat into your hermitage, enjoying a warming log fire
and a good book.
