P. Annie KirkConsider this an unedited unscripted moment of sanctuary and a candid conversation and exchange sometime funny, always authentic thoughts and suggestions, for welcoming yourself home, for deepening the connection with your true self and that of nature, and for an intimate sense of connection and community - you and me. Welcome to Sanctuary.

P. Annie KirkI asked: “Could I possibly be that thing – the healing gardens I design, that sacred space, oh my god, #sanctuary – for myself? Could I possibly take IT wherever I go? Could I find myself finding myself syncing the cycles of Nature with the seasons of my life, my growth, my development?”
P. Annie KirkYes, we could use this lift and loft right about… NOW. I’ll (a)line up first: I have a #cosmicdraftingtable. It’s how I create. It’s here – only because I’m here – in the #SanctuaryStudio on our magical farm. You SEE, it goes with me everywhere – it lives in the Sanctuary of my creative HEART.
P. Annie KirkThat despite all.the.things. – that surely and slowly as you Root and Restore...Rise and Replenish. That as you take good care of your precious self… inch by sacred inch…Weaving together the healing “work” (oh, what an adventure!), and INtegrate it into the soil of your soul (and your daily). THAT YOU ARE INDEED BECOMING.
P. Annie KirkI recall the first moment, perched atop a rock outcropping looking over the Lower Salmon River in Idaho – celebrating my 30th birthday – on a 4-day rafting trip with 24 other women I did not know, when I realized how sacred beauty is “out there” and “in here.”
