A sanctuary, a shrine, an altar – each is a manmade object that offers a portal to the unknown. Throughout the world, both in ancient times and now, these structures have allowed peoples and cultures to actively engage in a dialogue between their beliefs and the mysterious natural forces that surround them. In our present-day culture, this kind of spiritual communion often is relegated to organized religion rather than individual or community.
You can create a place to gather and celebrate all kinds of life passages: births, deaths, marriages, seasonal changes and other meaningful moments, both happy and sad.
