“ It was like stepping into a bubble in time and space.”

I spent a month at the sanctuary last winter. It was like stepping into a bubble in time and space.

By the third night I felt so completely safe in this environment, I turned off the air conditioning, and slept with the sliding glass door open to the beach.

The ocean became the best companion I could have. It’s rhythmic sound lulled me
to sleep, and greeted me every morning.

I savored tea and birdsong at the outdoor table, yoga on the deck, long walks along the road, and very occasional drives into town for lunch, groceries, contact, and people.

It was bliss. I worked everyday at a creative project on my computer, picking up where I left off the night before.

The uninterrupted concentration this location provided was incomparable. It was truly a rejuvenating and incredibly productive retreat; physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I loved it.
