Situated on a strange and magical site outside Amsterdam, the Yugen Temple will be a sacred space for transformational work. The land, reclaimed by humans less than a century ago, has evolved miraculously from an underwater seabed into rambling meadows, a lush forest, and ponds rich with wildlife. Walking the land, you’re as likely to stumble upon a seashell as a pinecone. The temple itself was designed to evoke that same sense of mystery and wonder.
