This sanctuary is a place of living,
not a destination.
It is built slowly,
with hands, soil, patience, and care.
A simple shelter
The houses here are made from earth.
Mud, clay, wood, and local materials shape the walls.
They stay cool in the heat,
quiet in the rain,
and grounded in the land they stand on.
Nothing here is perfect.
Nothing is polished.
And that is exactly the point.
Living in an earth house reminds us
that we belong to the land —
not above it.
Food grown, not ordered
Most of the food here comes from the garden.
Vegetables are planted, watered, harvested, and shared.
Meals are simple, seasonal, and cooked together.
This is a plant-based way of eating.
No animals are killed here.
If eggs are eaten, they come from hens
that are cared for and allowed to live freely.
If fish are eaten, they live in natural water systems,
not raised for killing, but for balance.
Food is nourishment,
not entertainment.
Living with precepts
Life here is guided quietly by principles,
not rules.
• Respect for life
• Care for the earth
• Simplicity in consumption
• Honesty in action
• Kindness in presence
No preaching.
No labels.
Just daily choices made gently.
For many years, the founder of this sanctuary
has chosen not to harm animals,
and this value shapes the way life unfolds here.
Daily rhythm
There is no fixed schedule.
Some wake early.
Some sleep longer.
Some sit in silence.
Some walk in the forest.
Some work in the garden or kitchen.
Some play music.
Some simply rest.
Meditation is available,
never required.
Silence is welcome,
never forced.
Here, rhythm follows the body,
not the clock.
A place to remember
Sanctuary is not meant to improve you.
It is not designed to fix anything.
It exists to offer space —
space to slow down,
space to feel the body again,
space to listen inwardly,
space to live without being watched or measured.
People stay here for a while.
Ten days.
Weeks.
Sometimes longer.
They leave quietly,
often lighter,
not because life changed,
but because they did.
This is Sanctuary
A place to live simply.
A place to eat gently.
A place to walk softly on the earth.
A place to remember what it means to be human.
