During these challenging times, we all are feeling the need for some sanctuary. Not to escape or shut out the world permanently, but to find time and a place to rest, reflect, recharge, and rejuvenate – so we can go back out and engage with the world with more energy, creativity and wisdom.
A sanctuary is a place of refuge where we feel safe and can breathe. It can be inside or outside, small or large, private or public, a place where you can read, paint, garden or do nothing. Take a moment and imagine the sanctuary that would nurture you. What does it look like? How does it make you feel? Is there a way to make it happen – if not fully, partially?
At SFLA, we are all landscape architects and designers, so of course our sense of sanctuary is focused on the outdoor landscape. We may have our favorite chair or room, but we are drawn outdoors into a more natural environment to find peace and a sense of belonging – to remind ourselves that we are part of the natural world.
As we talked about how to create a sense of sanctuary, we came up with some ideas that you may want to consider as you think about creating your own sanctuary – and we would be happy to help you make it a reality.
We also invite you to post your ideas on our website at the end of this article and especially your pictures of what sanctuary means to you. Tag us on Instagram and Facebook using #sflasanctuary. We’re excited to see your ideas!
Here are some of the elements of a landscape sanctuary that we came up with:
