What a legacy. Yesterday was our final Soul Slam before we close our nonprofit and transition into a new expression of Sanctuaries. Members, leaders, partners, supporters, elders -- from all across the country -- gathered to celebrate the power of this community over the last 7 years.

When asked whether Sanctuaries has fundamentally shifted their career or calling, half of the room raised their hands. When asked whether Sanctuaries has transformed their lives in a lasting way, everyone in attendance raised their hands.

We cried, we laughed, we ate, we danced, we jammed, we recited poetry, we showcased our paintings and jewelry and books. Above all, we were reminded that Sanctuaries is not a place, or a period of time, or a particular institution -- rather, Sanctuaries is a way of being, an embodiment of a more sacred, equitable, and creative life, together.

WE'RE CLOSING!

From the beginning, our model has followed our mission. We have therefore decided to close The Sanctuaries in its institutional form at the end of this year. This video explains why.

We are so grateful for each and every one of you! What an incredible thing we have done together. Its legacy lives on through the work that lies ahead!
