Temenos Academy

Temenos Academy

The Temenos Academy is a teaching organisation in London dedicated to creative spirituality.

Its origin was in 1980, when the "Temenos Review" was launched by Kathleen Raine, Keith Critchlow, Brian Keeble and Philip Sherrard to publish creative work which acknowledged spirituality as a prime need for humanity. Ten years later the Academy was founded to extend the project through lectures and study groups. It was accommodated initially in The Prince of Wales's Institute of Architecture in Regents Park. Since the closure of the Institute, the Academy now holds meetings in different venues in London.

The Prince of Wales is patron of the Academy. He said:

Lecturers include Hossein Elahi Ghomshei and Z'ev ben Shimon Halevi (Warren Kenton). The Academy staged a talk by the Dalai Lama during his visit to London in 2004. [http://www.tibet.com/NewsRoom/hhukvisit1.htm]
