This series of monthly lectures explores our intimate connection to nature, imagination, and architecture.

Each session includes a slide lecture and a group discussion intended to reveal the practicality and poetry of dwelling with the environment in inventive and artful ways.

His two books, The Temple in the House and A Home for the Soul, explore the relationship between architecture, sacredness and human experience. Tony's recent documentary film, The Living Temple, presents a journey through world sacred places.

Tony's work has been featured on Oprah, National Public Radio and numerous other national media.
