Sanctuary's emergence.

When the sacredness of individual life is honoured on land and when this honouring becomes the backbone of stewardship; when the existence of, and interpenetrative relationship with, all realms is understood and acknowledged; then a quality flows through inner and outer elements of place.

When this quality flows through inner and outer elements, an ecological harmony moves suffuses place, and place becomes Sanctuary.

This quality that emerges within Sanctuary as if both the cause and result of ecological harmony. A quality that can be felt fully across the sentience of landscape.

Aesthetic beauty is one announcement, one marker, of this quality. Feelings of well being and healing's potency are too.
