Living together, working together, sharing together
In July 2007 Emmaus Feniks opened its doors in the former Trappist monastery in Tegelen. In Eastern mythology, the Phoenix rises from its own ashes. It symbolizes the four seasons of the year in which nature flourishes and dies again. This name was deliberately chosen for this Emmaus group because it also represents the rebirth of the human spirit. By leading our chosen lifestyle, we aim to be inspirational to those that join us, and the wider community. We aim to offer people a space where people can embrace a new phase in life, or stay close to nature. Emmaus’s goal is to contribute to a better world for everyone. By living, working and sharing together, we hope to show the world that a
better and more sustainable way of living is possible, and that is great for us, and the planet.
