Imagine that you had a refuge, a place that was all your own, a safe place where you can tend to the workings of your inner being — a place to meditate, pray, create your art, write, or to just quietly be. Imagine that you get to spend time there every day, that place where your soul is nurtured. That is what a sanctuary is, and that is what a sanctuary does.
Life is full of challenges. Our environment can be toxic, both physically and spiritually. Rest can rejuvenate the body, but where do we go to truly rejuvenate our spirits? We instinctively sense this need to step away, if only for a few minutes, to a place that can nurture both our body and our spirit. We need it, badly. But how do we create such a space for ourselves?
Based on my experience creating sanctuary for myself and my daughter, my experience creating sanctuary for my interior design clients, and my countless hours of research into the interaction between the built environment and the human spirit, I’ve put together a curriculum to introduce you to the basics of creating a space that will comfort the body and refresh your spirit.
