Welcome to the Temenos

I first heard the word 'Temenos' when reading a Book called: Free Play, Improvisations in Life and Art, by Stephen Nachmanovitch.

He described it as "sacred circle, a space without limits where special rules apply and magical events are free to occur." As an artist, he spoke about 'preparing his temenos' when he was about to create his art. It was a meditation and a calling for the universe to open... and to allow all of the creative powers to flow.

To me, the temenos is less of a place, and more of a state of mind.

Never underestimate the possibility for things to improve in ways you cannot yet imagine...
