Gift Exchange

We are grateful for your support in whatever way it arrives – dollars, seedlings, cookies, smiles, words of depth, drawn from a tender heart. We do our best to extricate the work of Temenos from capitalistic systems and values. We believe in the daily practice and creation of beauty, goodness, wisdom and magic, for their own sake. And we honor the gifts we’ve been given, by sharing them with exuberant joy. The gift must move (see Lewis Hyde’s the gift) – in any currency – it wishes to change hands, to be amended and enlarged in a new home, and then to move onward, its goodness kept and enlivened through selfless and generosity (hoarding poisons the gift). If you are not abundant in cash but have other gifts to give, those might be greatly helpful to us too – and even a need is a gift, an invitation for us to work within our areas of excellence. Thank you for the gift of you – and for moving it through our circle.


Use this form to make a tax-deductible gift of any amount to the Temenos Center for the Arts.
