An update, Fall 2024:
​
​During this season when the earth begins to fold back into herself — plants yield to soil, many organisms prepare to burrow, the air cools, birds huddle and flock — Sanctuary of the Wild is also folding back.
We enjoyed many months of gathering on the land together to deepen our relationships with the other than humans.
​
However, we've seen the need for that monthly community dwindle as the months have gone by.
Therefore, we have decided to suspend our monthly gatherings. We may offer special SOTW gatherings at certain times, such as solstices or harvests. These will be announced in the PARA website and newsletter.
Meanwhile, we will continue our solo wanders on the Earth, and we encourage you to as well.
You may want to find a "sit spot", a dedicated space in the natural world, close enough that you can visit it daily and develop deep relationships with the inhabitants. Or you may want to simply wander and let your heart lead you to the beings that are seeking you.
With much gratitude to all of you who formed the Sanctuary of the Wild, we appreciate all that we learned and experienced together over the last couple of years.
