FRIENDS OF
THE SANCTUARY
The Sanctuary is an Oasis embraced
by a magical forest in the serene nature reserve
of Verkaån in South Sweden. Being at the
Sanctuary is like being in another world, closer to the
elements of Mother Nature. The peace and quiet here is hardly
ever disturbed by the sounds of cars and other machinery.
The Wind whispers here softly and the birds sing their praises
to the great mystery present here.

Up
on the hill close to the cosy Farm with Organic
Café, Event Dome
and Music Chapel thrones an ancient
Stone Circle with an altar dedicated
to the Great Mother of all Life. The ancestors of
this land have left their footprints along with their
prayers in form of these sacred circles of standing
stones.
They remind on medicine wheels of the Native Americans
and may mark chakras of the earth, which this area
around Österlen hosts plenty of. The Sanctuary
will host from time to time different international
artists, musicians and teachers of ancient traditions
such as Medicine People of the Native American Nation,
Shamans of South America and Sangomas of South Africa.
Concerts of sacred Music and healing sounds will be
presented in the cathedral like atmosphere of the
DOME in our magical garden.
Workshops in Chi Movements, Yoga, Circle Dances and
many other healing arts are held throughout the year
as well as purifying Sweatlodge Ceremonies. |
Individual treatments are offered by different therapists
including body work, massage, healing sound massage and
aura cleansing.
The
annual HAMSA Healing Arts & Sacred Music
Festival is bringing the Friends of the
Sanctuary together in joyful celebration along with
international artists and teachers.
Song, Dance and Music is the ground on which we
gather here.
In order to maintain the Sanctuary and keep this
Ark of Dreams sailing many hands and hearts are
needed to contribute with love and action, financially,
practically, and with solutions, new ideas and positive
thoughts. |

The Sanctuary is a place of Karma Yoga
and working meditation where we can learn
to live our prayers in every day life by being mindful and
by walking in beauty.
Every step is a prayer when we walk in beauty and serve
one another and the place so that the Sanctuary can serve
all.
Serve and Contribute by becoming a FRIEND OF THE
SANCTUARY.
As a friend of the Sanctuary and/or WWOOFer
you can come and stay for free in exchange of working on
the farm minimum 5 hours a day. Contribution to organic
meals is required.
Details will follow.
