Open Dharma Centre

The Open Centre will inspire and support inner growth within a space of human and ecological diversity. We welcome people from any religion or no religion to learn to live with inner and outer harmony through contact with nature, through interaction, and through silence. Along with meditation from diverse spiritual traditions, the Open Centre will also offer nontraditional ways to awaken the full potential of human life—to be relaxed and alert, centered and open. In Spain, we have found spacious, green land with a restored farmhouse, orchards, and two meditation halls where the Open Centre can take root. How will the Open Centre work? People from varied backgrounds on our meditation programs report that their lives have been transformed by nature, interaction, and silence: Intimacy with nature, both cultivated and wild Interaction: Silence: * Self-motivated exploration and practice * Solitude and individual retreat * Deep rest and silence.

Most scholars believe that the horologeion (water clock) was built as a public sundial, water clock and weathervane by the astronomer Andronikos Kyrrhestas c. 50/40 BC (as it was mentioned in Varro's De Re Rustica which was published in 37 BC and Vitruvius discusses it as well).

Ancient Athens - Tower of the Winds

On the other hand, the archaeologist Herman Kienast (German Archaeological Institute at Athens) has revived the suggestion that it was built before the Roman general Sulla's sack of the city in 86 BC. As the letter forms of the inscriptions identifying the winds are very similar to those on the dedication of the Stoa of Attalos, built c. 158-138 BC in the Agora, the horologeion may date to the late 2nd century BC. It is possible that the repairs which were made to the structure date to the period after 30 BC based on an inscription which mentions an Oilier Kyrrhistou (House of Kyrrhestas).

In the Early Byzantine period it was used as a Christian baptistery. Iemed — Frontpage - Trivium. BSA - The Building Societies Association. Who we are and what we do. Dartington is a place of learning and experiment addressing some of the significant issues of our time.
