Nemeton Sanctuary & Abaton
Meditation & Study Center
Nemeton is a Celtic word meaning sanctuary or sacred place. In ancient cultures, a Nemet was a place of sanctuary where you could not be pursued.
A nemet grows in intensity; this is called the Buddhafield or conditional resonance.As we begin our 10th year, we retreat deeper into solitude and focus, rather like the Tibetian monks who spend weeks, months and many tedius hours making an elaborate sand paintings that are swept away when completed.
We thank those friends, guests and family who have shared in the enrichment of this design. The colors range from the darkness of the worst of human experinces to embracing the full spectrum of pure white. We each make our contribution; each in our own way to an overall picture larger than we can comprehend.

Understanding Meditation
Meditation is an inner state of listening. Not to be confused with prayer but it must be combined with study to seek understanding. One must seek to understand compassion; seek to understand gratitude, seek to understand peace. It is the only option to militarism, something that is promoted through our institutional and religious organizations.
We must strive for understanding peace
to change the culture around us.

Sacred Abaton
In the tradition of the Asclepius Dream Temples, an Abaton was the inner most sacred chamber. The original dream temple was in Epidaurus, Greece and the vision or insight gained in dreams was the epiphany, the origin of the word we use today. We have created a simple shelter in a very isolated and private location on Nemeton. It is based on ancient tradtions and practices that we wish to share with others.
