.....in the beginning - as the dream
The dream
was to offer a place of peace, nurturing and community. A place for
and about women, a place where we could honor, embrace and celebrate
ourselves and each other.

Our
'Sanctuary for the Spirit' space is
offered as a place to explore and share
the wisdom of many unique spiritual
paths, traditions and perspectives.
We believe
that as each one of us deepens our own
connection to ourselves, our
understanding and compassion grows for
others. In this way, we are then able to
walk a path of understanding, peace and
love, creating sanctuary within our own
being, in our families, communities and
in the world around us.

....."you have built
your dreams – now put foundations under them.”
(Henry David Thoreau)
And so, putting
one foot in front of the other, the foundation was put under the
dream. Friends, kindred
spirits and soul sisters and brothers were gathered - those who shared not only a vision of creating a sacred
space for women to honor themselves, but also a commitment to leaving the world a
little better place than we found it.

Some have called
me crazy, others have called me courageous. It’s
probably a combination of both. But more than that, it is an
unwavering faith that when something feels so right, it’s right.
When everything falls so perfectly into place and in such absolute
alignment, there is no room for hesitation or fear. The only
possible answer to the call of the dream was "yes."
There are those who have misunderstood the 'sacred space
for and about women' and tried to make it into something it isn't.
This isn't about taking a feminist stand, exclusion or superiority.
It is about finding our authentic place within the world we live in
and finding a piece of ourselves often unclaimed. We are not
the same, men and women, and it is time to not only appreciate
that difference, but to also embrace and honor it. We
each have the strengths and weaknesses of our gender,
which combined and
acknowledged, is the foundation for the healing we seek,
ultimately creating a world
in which both men and women can live in unity, spiritual
equality and divinity,
each created in the image of God or Goddess, each able to see their own inherent
sacredness and that of the other.
.....as a ‘sanctuary for the spirit’ retail store
Each day is
started in mindfulness and with intention - offering these words as a
blessing and affirmation for all those who might enter through our
door:
"May all who
find their way to us today find what they are seeking.
May their
experience be one of connection and community.
May all find
peacefulness within their path.
May all
recognize their beauty and light.
May we both be
blessed by our coming together."
As a 'Sanctuary for the Spirit', our intention each day is to honor
the individual path of each person who visits here by supporting
them in ‘reconnecting to the sacred and divine” within themselves -
in whatever form that takes.
The Gifts that are chosen for Three Sisters’ Spirit reflect the
sacredness, beauty and inspiration. within our lives. We believe in
our inherent need to honor and create sacred space in our lives, in
our homes, and to celebrate our own personal & creative expression
each day. We have created a sanctuary of scent, sound, color and
personal adornment, art that can bring a sense of peace and
connection to spirit and books and cards to encourage us with
inspirational thoughts that affirm, empower and enlighten a woman’s
spirit.
.....as a ‘mind, body & spirit' wellness sanctuary
Three Sisters' Spirit classes, workshops, gathering groups and individual services are
a way to bring wholeness, wellness, balance and healing into our
lives. Our ‘Sanctuary for the Spirit’ space is offered as a respite
from the hectic world outside ourselves, and a place to
explore and share the wisdom of many unique spiritual paths,
traditions and perspectives. As women, we nurture and listen each
other into our own individual truths by sharing our experiences,
hopes, dreams and desires. We believe that as each one of us deepens
our own connection to ourselves and the spiritual and sacred, our
understanding and compassion grows for others.
In this way, we are
then able to walk a path of peace, beauty and gratitude, creating
sanctuary within our own being, in our families, communities and in
the world around us.
In this way, we can (and will) make a
difference, and we can change the world, leaving it a little better
place for our having been here, one heartbeat at a time.
