Temenos Academy Review, Spring 2000

In his message for this edition of The Temenos Academy Review, the Prince of Wales reminds its readers that 'the traditions which form the basis of mankind's most civilised values have a practical relevance in the creation of beauty and the maintenance of a living tradition. The Temenos Academy itself is based on ten principles that are related to the ethos of the Network, for instance 'Love of wisdom, in the form of Truth, Goodness and Beauty, as the essential basis of civilisation'. Keith Critchlow contributes a beautiful essay on the imaginal realm and its role in education, while David Cadnam's reflections on sustainability offer much food for thought. Then there are essays on Wordsworth and Coleridge, as well as poems and colour plates of iconic figures and a sequence of book reviews. Essential nourishment for the spirit.
