Open Sanctuary is a diverse community of people from different traditions and none who are exploring their spirituality together in the modern world through their relationships with silence, each other, the wider community, and the community of the natural world.
The simple joy of gathering with friends in conversation, in silence and common contemplation lies at the heart of Open Sanctuary. At the foot of the mountain, we pray. That is to say, we open our hearts to the Other found at the centre of all life; the Spirit that abides in all. The sense of numinous Presence in this place is gift and grace for which we are grateful. This year we will continue our monthly dadirri or quiet days generally on the 4th Friday of each month. We will also offer some Taize singing workshops and some Kirtan. And we will gather round a fire to drink tea and yarn and share a song or two from time to time. The healing power of simply coming together in this way is especially important following these past years of pandemic. Everybody is welcome.

"...dadirri spreads over our whole life. It renews us and brings us peace. When I experience dadirri I am made whole again." - Miriam Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann AM Walawaani Linda
Timeless places “There are places that call us to still and be….. places of reflection quiet, wild, timeless that overflow the soul and draw us in to the Silence of our own heartland.” Noel Davis
