Finding Sanctuary

“Sanctuary is finding a place to regain our bearings, reclaim our soul, heal our wounds and return to the world as a wounded healer. It’s not merely about finding shelter from the story - it’s about spiritual survival and the capacity to carry on.”

Parker Palmer

Today, I invite you to think about sanctuary.

What does it mean to you?

How might you find a place of sanctuary in your ordinary, every day, life?

I like to fantasize about finding sanctuary on a mountain top or beside a quiet lake - silent except for the cries of God’s creatures. It’s a nice fantasy.

But it is not “sanctuary.” That’s called vacation!

Lean into this idea that sanctuary needs to be an integral part of daily life.

What needs to change for you to have it?
