💛 The Long Goodbye
The time has come for me to say goodbye to 21stSanctuary.
After many years of heart, hard work, and passion poured into this place, I’ve reached a moment where I realise that I need to let go and move forward.
I bought the house in 2018 with a vision of creating something gentle, supportive, and accessible — a space where retreat hosts and groups could gather without financial pressure, without deposits, and without fear of “making the numbers work.”
It was always meant to be an Association 1901, a not‑for‑profit eco‑lieu built on trust, kindness, and community.
Like many small projects, the economic climate, brexit , has made things harder, and losing my safety net through redundancy has left me without the stability for the next measly 4 yaers I needed to keep the sanctuary afloat .
I’m still too young (yeah but boo hoo) to receive the pension that would have carried it through this period, and the numbers simply don’t allow me to continue.
So, with a heavy but honest heart, I will be letting 21stSanctuary go.
To everyone who supported this place, believed in it, visited, taught, created, rested, or simply held space here — thank you. You have been part of something built with sincerity and soul. Your presence shaped this house more than you know.
21stSanctuary has enormous potential for someone with deeper pockets and fresh energy — whether as a family home, a community living project, or a continued eco‑lieu. It will be sold with all fixtures and fittings, and the buyer will cover the fees, making the transition simpler and reducing taxes.
I am sad, 😢, of course. But as a businesswoman , also know it is time to move on, and to let the next chapter begin — for me, and for this very blessed and sacred place.
Thank you for walking this part of the journey with me.
With warmth,
Angela
