My sanctuary is some place where I can be near moving water. The ocean, a small brook, a waterfall, etc. The sound is soothing to me. I love going to these type of places and being able to reconnect with Mother Earth.

Anywhere I'm at, because I can journey to my special place regardless of where I am.

Anywhere I can spin a web undisturbed. My home and yards are definitely my castle if not always my sanctuary. Through meditation, I have learned my sanctuary can be anywhere I am.

My sanctuary is normally my bathtub. A few candles, warm water, nag champa .. BLISS!

Otherwise, my bedroom, candles and nag champa, or the same in my living room.

With 3 kids, a dog and a husband, anywhere quiet is a sanctuary!

THIS place is quickly becoming my sanctuary !!......but If I had to choose a place in my house it would be the one place where I find I can relax and that is my music room....where I can play but mostly sit & listen. I rarely get a chance to get there nowadays but when I do...it's nice to be able to slow down and just close my eyes and ' be there '. *le sigh*

most natural places, esp. Manzanita Beach here in OR, Hoyt Arboretum, my backyard when my dog is not bringing me toys to throw...
Also my den where I have my altar, my kitchen (when i am alone there!), and my jeep (when i am alone, or have control over the radio, umm...well, when I'm alone).

Default Where's Your Sanctuary?
A room in your house? Your car? A special spot in the garden? The backyard?

Against an east facing wall in my house.

When the mornings are cooler than 85 and the neighborhood is quiet, which lately isn't very often, I can meditate comfortably in my secret garden...style of the garden not that its existence is a secret

Great question!

I really don't have a physical location for a sanctuary, it is a state of mind that generates my poetry, stories or any crazy idea that needs deep thought. My poems usually start out as a single image or line and will need anywhere from a day to a couple years percolating in the cauldron of my soul before it's ready to be put to paper. When I tap into that vault and pull out the poem to complete it; that particular mindset is my sanctuary. Nothing can reach me there; I am in a wonderful moment of creation that transcends myself. It's kind of scary at times, it seems that the information is coming from outside myself, I can really understand why the ancients (and a few modern artists) believed in muses.

My sanctuary is in my heart. But there is the physical shrine (the Moriviví Hermitage) in the back part of the house. The shrine is dedicated to the Divine in Its many aspects: Father, Mother, Avatars, Gurus, etc. The shrine and the library are one. I hope that some day it will be much larger.

Mainly I feel its in the mind/heart and soul but it sure does help to have places one can go when in overload.
So..
I actually have a couple places (back up in case I cant make it to one),the beach at night the waves crashing the shore and basically the only noise out there.

And if I cant get there just being out after midnight,walking Brute works.

My sanctuary is my fish pond area. When the neighbor's dogs are not barking the only sounds I hear are the waterfalls and an ocassional frog. It is very close to nature and the sounds are hypnotizing. Excellent for meditation when I am in need of that.

Peace & Love!

My childhood home and where my Dad was raised, but I can't get back there often anymore. Now it mostly happens when I'm driving, cooking, outside at night, or inside with candles and my little fountain.

My sanctuary is the temple in my heart. A meditation I learned during my Rosicrucian days (early 80's, interesting wedding).

Mostly though my sanctuary is my cubicle...yes I have a u-shaped computer desk at home I call my cubicle. (I work in a service truck so I relax in a cubicle)

My sanctuary is here in my little store, when it's closed, surrounded by my herbs. On my walls are beautiful gifts given to me by the people I love and those who love me. I have my medicine bag and my rattle near my desk, out of view of customers, but right where I can touch them. I listen to beautiful Native American music when I'm here and my customers enjoy the ambiance. It's a very soothing and healing place.
