Sanctuary
Everyday Temple
held by gravity ~ offered up in grace
Vision & Foundational blueprint
A sanctuary anchored in earthbased spirituality, a centre for Living Wisdom and Sacred Arts ...
Founded on love for both the earth and the human spirit
We are a collaboration of winged spirits drawn here to sing our notes in the new dawn chorus. An invitation back into the conscious garden of creation, all tuned to the one station.
an invitation to explore the interface of consciousness with daily living.
In a dedication to find deeper & higher ground, we are devoted to serving the divine & sacred thru the simple forms of everyday life, creating an overflow of offerings that express timeless beauty & touch the soul…
“Let the beauty you love
be what you do...
there are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the earth.” Rumi
may our daily lives reflect our spiritual values…
What is Sanctuary?
Sanctuary
- a sacred or holy place
- a place for worship / a temple
- a place of refuge or protection
- a place to seek and find a higher reference
- a doorway to an inner realm
- a space inside the inside of everything
- a real place
- a portal from which to leave the world of manmade fabrications and enter into communion with what is
- a place to ultimately come to rest in a woven realm
- a form shaped by an attitude of reverence and receptivity in daily life
- the wellspring of your own being, the inner current of pure love filling you from the ground up
- something I can embody
How to find this?
- through a willingness to open ever more fully to that which breathes us
- returning back to the origins / the beginning of all things
- slowing down into a sacred pause
- being present with warmth
- opening and softening / listening and receiving releasing all the rush, the clamour, . . the need and drive to become and simply let the ripples settle. . , coming back to the garden of creation and letting the flower of one’s soul open petal by petal . . . as the breezes waft through . . . bees visit with humming . . . and the light and shadows play their game of ‘make believe . . .
for sanctuary space is filled with grace
we value
- a commitment of full-hearted endeavor to support a unified resonant field
- the spirit of inquiry that allows first to listen and to be ever open to birth new shapes - “embracing the dissolve & re-weaving the boundary lines…”
- a balance between inner listening and outer activity
- learn to value even the completely unseen small actions of care that create our world
- a daily rhythm of maintaining the art & beauty & function of the physical space which is the container in which sessions, gatherings & workshops occur…
“to always follow life’s flow between peaceful stillness & boundless expression ”
We are your body, born in matter,
gazing upon your own creation.”
~ Beverly Lanzetta.
Sacred Arts
Sacred
Something that touches the heart and causes it to open beyond its known boundaries.
Art
Stepping into this making of shapes opening to and from the great mystery.
Sacred Arts
An honouring of conscious pathways of self expression, through which one enters a sense of divine connection. The doorway of presence always here in any given holy moment -- is the portal to the beyond..
Art as a lifestyle
art is infused into all aspects of daily life as prayer, ritual & ceremony - woven in like holy threads … whether I am sweeping dust from the corner of a room, arranging pebbles on the beach, bowing to a flower – that I am picking to put in the vase on the table, stepping into the curve of a dance, reaching to wipe a tear from a cheek, washing a dish, laying the body back down to rest in the sun, all such actions are quite naturally embedded into the very fabric of ordinary life -
~ a dialogue between stillness & movement
~ time and space
~ form & formlessness
~ heaven & earth
Down the
garden path
down the garden path a journey of outer & inner descent - beneath all polarities…
into the ground that birthed us, holds us, heals us, sustains us…
a returning to the garden of creation , within whose web we allow ourselves to be
reseeded, rewoven, regrown… we learn to slow down, to listen & to receive…
the garden is a place where work becomes both worship &
a playground in which to participate in a ‘ land dance ‘…
We value
• deepening communication with & service to the natural realms
• gardens for ornamentals, food & medicine
• land stewardship practices that explore regeneration, restoration & enhancement of existing ecosystems
• the process of steady commitment to & knowledge of place honed thru the turning wheel of cycles
slipping thru
a garden gate,
hush your voice
& for a moment
wait…
step by step
one by one
who enters here
when work is done ?
pause awhile…
slow your pace,
for sanctuary space
is steeped in grace
breath by breath
& settling in
sinking down
beneath the spin…
along the path
around the bend,
wot is the invitation
to receive & tend … ?
rest awhile -
let threads unravel
freeing u from worldly travail…
among the leaves,
the feathers, the breeze,
flows the fragrance
of timeless ease…
in the root,
on the wing
- who lives here
blessing every thing ?
open now
- deep in presence,
receive yourself
- your pure essence…

Tea time
Tea-time Ceremony & Beyond’… What is it?
The tea ceremony - a u turn back into the heart of matter, Our desire is to serve you tea as medicine - so simple and unpretentious that we REmember the meaningful substance of life is in our Nature-ness, our authentic presence ~ for it is not simply about drinking tea. It is about the art of life, of creating a perfect moment of peace and being at one, with sharing an intimate connection with a natural energy that gives life a depth and meaning beyond anything that can be cognitively explained. With a humble heart & a receptive presence,
one's whole attention flows to each unfolding moment - a ceremony that takes the simple art of drinking tea to a sacred level where host and guests share a moment of worship, elevating them to a level of purity and refinement”
- Markus Lyons

“The Way of Tea and the Way of Zen were one and the same. It is in that deep reverence and fierce attention to the moment at hand that one is able to transcend the mundane world and travel to the deep heart of life, revelling in a deep appreciation for the simple, unadorned reality that the Way of Tea encompasses.” ~ Cha Dao
