About the Temenos Institute --
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.
Founded in 1976 as a non-profit, tax-exempt organization, Temenos Institute Inc. provides separate, yet related, services to the public, including the following:
An outpatient psychiatric clinic, licensed by the State of Connecticut, offers individual, couple, family ad group psychotherapy on a sliding fee scale.
The Fairfield County Jung Society at the Temenos Institute sponsors lectures and courses about the work of C.G. Jung and Jungian application to a number of topics, as described in this brochure. The events at the Temenos Institute as well as adds a social dimension for those who enjoy meeting informally with others to share their interest in the thought and work of C.G. Jung, Jungian analysis is available through the Executive Director at Temenos Institute.
A Pastoral Care and Counseling Training Program (for those in Pastoral settings) at the Temenos Institute. This Program is designed to enrich the pastoral skills of those engaged in parish ministry, synagogues, chaplaincy and divinity school education. Information is available through the training Program Coordinator.
Workshops, lectures, films and courses are offered at Temenos. All are open to the public, and we are particularly delighted to welcome new attendees and participants; whether professional in our field, a student or educator, or someone purely interested in Jungian studies.

Dear Friends of Dr. 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 news, of course:
We have completed our Winter/Spring 2010 lectures and events.

We always adding 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.

- Browse through the Album of our 2007 Temenos trip to Zurich, Vienna and Prague on the 100th anniversary of the first meeting of Jung and Freud. We learned a lot, had a great time and have the photos to prove it. If you have a copy of Aniela Jaffe's Memories, Dreams, Reflections, pick it up again. In Chapter VIII entitled The Tower, Jung himself will narrate and take you on a guided tour of his Bollingen Tower while you scroll through the photos we took during our private tour of Jung's Bollingen retreat.
