In Part 1, I shared the essence of sanctuary. Today, we go deeper — into the sanctuary within. That sacred part of you that’s luminous, balanced, whole, and holy. Let’s explore how to cultivate that feeling… and how nature and design can bring it to life around you.

What is Sanctuary Within? (Part 2)

When we last left off, we were exploring what sanctuary is — the energy, space, and sacredness that holds you, nourishes you, and reflects the natural rhythms of your soul.

But there’s more. There is sanctuary around you, and sanctuary within you.

Why do we design Sanctuary?

Because design is an art form, a method of human expression giving objects and experiences shape, meaning and significance.

Design is a sacred art that creates experiences for the heart, the mind, and the spirit.

We create sanctuary so that our minds can rest, our hearts can soften, and our souls can connect with the sacred in nature. Whether it’s through ritual, reflection, or simple presence, sanctuary is where the sacred feminine in you is honored and out-pictured. Sanctuary around emboldens Sanctuary Within.

What is Sanctuary Within?

Sanctuary Within is the most restored, luminous expression of self: harmony, beauty, balance, and peace. It is the living outpicturing of your Highest Self — your divinity made tangible in the spaces around you.

It is where your being (the feminine) and your doing (the masculine) come into harmony, and self-love becomes your natural frequency.

Healing Nature, when invited into your spaces and into your awareness, inspires this awareness and Sanctuary Within - this balance, this grace, this deep beauty that transcends words.

Science and soul agree — sanctuary changes us:

  • Restores empathy

  • Clears the mind

  • Improves focus and problem-solving

  • Calms stress responses

  • Replenishes spiritual and emotional energy

  • Strengthens intuition and alignment

  • Deepens connection and remembrance of the sacred

SANCTUARY WITHIN

Take a moment today: What moments bring you peace, balance, and harmony? Where do you feel most whole and holy? How do you nourish this sacredness within you?

I invite you to nurture more of these moments with me. Check out the upcoming Sanctuary Social Club — a modern, soulful garden club where we cultivate sanctuary in daily life + style together. Link for more info and excitement is right here >>> https://redbirdco.io/sanctuarycirclereplenish_2025.

Until next, take good care of your precious Self,
