Deep Healing Sanctuaries
A vision of mine for many years is this: to work at a healing sanctuary. The sanctuary is on a beautiful piece of land. The sanctuary serves people who need time and space to intensively heal. Herbalists, body workers, therapists, acupuncturists, curanderos, medicine people and wholistic MD’s staff the sanctuary. There is a big organic herb and vegetable garden. Fresh, organic food is cooked with love and served to the clients and staff. There is a sweat lodge for purification ceremonies. People can stay for a week, a month, a year. They stay until they feel balanced and nourished. The sanctuary is open to all people, regardless of financial means.
This vision has come to me over the years as I have witnessed friends, family and clients in my life struggle with being able to create the time and space to heal from illness. Our American culture does not easily allow people to stop, rest and heal. What would our world be like if more of these spaces existed?
