My chat today was all about sacred space, I started by looking up the definition of the term:
How would you describe a sacred space? As meaningful space, sacred space encompasses a wide variety of very different kinds of places. It includes places that are constructed for religious purposes, such as temples or temenoi, and places that are religiously interpreted, such as mountains or rivers.
What makes a sacred place? What determines what makes a site or place sacred is if people view the location worthy of respect and dedication, and believed to be holy. This causes people to care for and protect sacred spaces, where people may also make pilgrimages to worship and celebrate.
What does it mean to create a sacred space? Sacred space is simply a space you create that makes you feel connected, safe, and calm. It's a spiritual space that holds items and tools for self-care.
