Temenos
In psychology, the term temenos refers to a sacred space or inner sanctuary that symbolizes the psyche's wholeness and connection to the collective unconscious. Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung believed that the human need to establish and preserve a temenos is indicated by dream images, drawings, and mandalas.
Jung described a temenos as a virtual, meditative space that can be inhabited by the mind. He believed that a temenos protects the center of the personality from being influenced by the outside world. Jung also believed that a temenos is a place where one can safely encounter the unconscious and bring its contents into consciousness
