Who are the Essenes?
      The Essenes are a group of people who live peacefully as a way of life.  They have been in community for about 2000 years.  The Essenes of today practice living a life of peace, love and compassion.  Their purpose is to be of service in the world and teach peace and support people in healing their lives.   Their teachings are based on the writings of the Dead Sea Scrolls discovered in the caves in Qumran, Israel in 1947.
