The Sanctuary
"Human freedom involves our capacity to pause between the stimulus and response and, in that pause, to choose the one response toward which we wish to throw our weight."
- Rollo May
The Sanctuary is the space between here and there. It is somewhere to rest for a moment between thinking and saying, or between saying and doing. It is also the space if the words are so jumbled you don’t even know what sentences they could create.
This is a liminal space. It covers all ground before, during and after a definitive change. The transition may be emotional or physical, and you can be at any stage of the journey. You can use the space to clarify, explore, or make decisions.
There are many reasons you may be drawn here. You could be sick of screaming into the void, or exhausted from feeling stuck. Some of you might feel too isolated on your journey, or maybe you feel you have lost your sense of self. Sometimes, we can know we don’t need therapy, but we need something. Or maybe you are relying too much on tarot or astrology to find answers you already hold inside and need to rebuild the trust in your own instincts?
Sessions last for sixty minutes — a one-off is sometimes enough; others come back when they feel the need, and some schedule a regular appointment. The structure and frequency of a session depend heavily on what is needed.
