Why visit This Cornish Sanctuary?
Welcome, weary traveller, to This Cornish Sanctuary: a rental home nestled within the heart of the UK’s most southwesterly tip. Or, welcome to our blog, at least, the place we get to publish a small taster each month, journeying to the core of what we get so passionate about, like experiencing this part of Cornwall, and the chance it offers to connect to soul each day.
It’s here we hope to uncover exactly what makes this particular part of Cornwall so very special – if only through the eyes of this seedling business – but not simply for us. Because this isn’t really about us but you, and what we hope to achieve is to share a little of our journey, the experience and skills of the myriad makers and practitioners here, the movers and shakers currently leading our countries long-awaited wellbeing revolution. We hope to uncover the depths of our own heart-felt offering, thus creating sanctuary: a place for you to discover your own hidden depths.
Hopefully you’ll come to enjoy these ramblings and return, time after time, to soak up a personal view of this stunning coastline, its inhabitants, the fauna and flora, its relation to soul. You might even feel inspired to join us here, for a short break, a retreat, or maybe a series of workshops. But more than that, we hope you might return to share your own experiences, then offer your own idea of what Sanctuary means to you. Because after all, the idea of sanctuary is different for each of us, and whether we realise it or not, we each need an inviting, warm and comforting, nourishing space to return to, once choosing to extend ourselves beyond the norm.
I mean, who wants to be thrust, arms flailing, both-feet first, into a void without a warm space to return, somewhere a bit like home but without the ties, different but with...well…whatever feels nourishing to you. Why shouldn’t you allow yourself the peace and quiet, comfort and space to integrate that shift in being? And, you’ll come to see, I hope, that if here, at This Cornish Sanctuary, we do get to gain just a glimpse of what sanctuary means to you, and at best receive a full understanding, then we might get to go about creating precisely that for others – a place they too can return, having taken that courageous step to undo that which needs undoing.
Cornwall and this unknown peninsular
Cornwall is hardly unknown land. I mean, many of you are likely to have visited once already, and some will know it extremely well. But after travelling here over many years – to this particular spot: the Penwith peninsular – and living here now, talking to folk who have lived here their whole life, I think it’s fair to say that nobody has experienced all this place has to offer. And there’s a good reason for that: there’s simply too much to do down here, and once we find what we like we tend to become unadventurous.
Generally speaking, we each choose to experience that which makes us comfortable.
But what if you let your guard down, for a day, perhaps, maybe a few? What if you let go all that control and try something new, unusual even, something alien, like surfing, kayaking, rock-climbing… maybe it’s a sweat lodge, maybe even a fire quest…now there’s a break from the norm! But whatever you decide, and however the experience turns out, draining you of energy, perhaps, sparking something unexpected, like a whole new direction in life, wouldn’t it be great to have a place to return to: somewhere bespoke where you might get to integrate those feelings – a sanctuary, your favorite chocolate at hand, a glass of wine, coca, herbal tea, a meditative space. Maybe you’d like a particular film to watch, a massage, a breathwork workshop? Maybe it’s just a bath with a personalized home-cooked meal delivered to your door directly after. What if true sanctuary awaited your return…what then?
For now, at least, I’ll leave that with you, and anyway, I really need to get on; I have gardens to create, a small wooded area to manage – plans are afoot! Next time I’ll share a little of what goes into creating a sanctuary – the space itself, and the surrounding lands – that which makes my job so easy down here – and how those two are really one.
Until then, happy manifesting. And remember: sanctuary awaits.
