What does it mean to truly find sanctuary in a world that wounds and divides? This episode invites you beyond walls and rituals, into the spellwork of real welcome—a community where the act of keeping out is as sacred as what we let in. We explore the delicate balance between invitation and protection, joy and solemnity, and why every sanctuary is both an open door and a shield. Join us as we reflect on what makes a space safe, sacred, and truly healing for all who enter.
