Our Patron, His majesty King Charles III

“The work of Temenos could not be more important.”

We are delighted to announce that in 2024 HM King Charles III renewed his patronage of the Temenos Academy.

The Temenos Academy Young Scholars are an informal grouping of young students who are attracted to the Temenos Academy’s approach to learning from, and not merely about, the great religious and philosophical traditions. It is open to anyone aged 18 – 35 years wanting to take part in events organised by the Young Scholars.
