Now is the time to respond to the need felt by many of us around the world to restore the sacred as an integral part of the human experience. It is time to celebrate our common humanity through the creation of sanctuaries that provide the physical, emotional and spiritual nourishment many seek.
The Sanctuaries for Humanity initiative is about reconnecting with universal love as the foundation of human interaction. This means adopting a holistic approach that touches every aspect of our lives: caring for our fellow human beings; striving for the well-being of all; seeking forgiveness and peace; exploring new models for nutrition; adopting new approaches to healing and education; celebrating creativity; and acting as the guardians of our environment and the many species with whom we share our world.
The initiative will be launched by the creation of a first Sanctuary for Humanity in Scotland – a haven where visitors can find refuge, renewal and inspiration. Over time, different aspects of human spirituality and endeavour will be explored – individually and collectively – through retreats, workshops, gatherings, or simply through spending time alone.
