Within this sanctuary, all who quest for the sacred hallows are welcome: we hear the ancestral voices and sing the ancient stories, remembering who we are. This Sanctuary is hospitable to all people of good will, without persuasion or judgement.
Welcome! This is a place of wholeness, co-creation and wonder. A place to nurture your sense of what is possible, to delight in small things and share your own small wonders and miracles. We are the ones we've been waiting for. Your life is your offering.
