Sanctuary

Sanctuary begins in places that help us remember our authentic selves. A quiet room, a used bookstore, a garden path, or a lush forest, where we can recall who we are at our center. It is a place that is so profound in experience that we can carry it with us into the world, like slipping a mountainside deep in our pocket.

This card invites you to remember that sanctuary is a way of returning to the world differently. Its gift is not only what happens while you are there, but what those places teach us about how to see, how to move, and how to be once we have left them. What places have taught you how to be? Notice what they gave you and how they changed the way you move in the world.

There will always be places that help you remember yourself. Allow their wisdom to take root within you until the sanctuary you seek has begun to live inside you.
