East West Sanctuary

Situated in the heart of Central Europe, the East West Sanctuary lies in  a unique and evocative location, a symbolic crossroads between East and West Europe and Europe and the East. It is a building, a set of ideas, and a community of people both local and global, engaged in the careful and conscious creation of new forms of living.

The Sanctuary offers a haven where people can slow down and relax, tune into a still point inside, and open to emergent spiritual and educational perspectives as the world we know is entering a period of unprecedented change, and a new worldview is unfolding.   

Our approach draws upon Buddhist practices and Western hermetic and depth psychological traditions, combined with emerging principles of systems thinking as applied to community, science, society and philosophy. Healing practices are reunited with those of natural living and educational processes, promoting sustainable and ethical community. This is a radical fusion of East and West which we call 'holonomic inquiry'. These ideas are explored in detail on the sister webpage, eastwestinterconnect.  

The East West Sanctuary is a place of open inquiry, where  the most recent scientific advances  can reconnect to perennial wisdom to help change people’s lives, bringing wisdom off the mountaintop, down from the ivory tower and out of the laboratory into the crucible of experience.
