Creating Living Sanctuary
A Restorative, Natural Way of Being: Health, Healing, & Home
“Nature is not at place to visit. It is home.” ~ Gary Snyder
Ancient cultures understood relationship as the fabric of life. These cultures (and their medicine systems) embraced a holistic approach to life and created harmonious, sacred spaces including sanctuary living environments imbued with nature and the intention for healing and restoration. The Indigenous wisdom of our ancestral lineages holds this ancient knowledge with technologies for balancing elements (energetic and form) to curate harmonic relationships within our body, home/environment, loved ones/family/community…and the world. These also include the four- or five-elements associated Eastern (i.e., Traditional Chinese medicine/Feng Shui; Ayurveda/Vastu Shastra, Buddhism/Zen Buddhism, Wabi Sabi+).
Life is an ecological balance, which encompasses everything. Relationship anchors our humanity; it is the foundation of identity and community development. The quality of our internal-external relationships/environment affects health and wellbeing; art/design, science, and tech advancement; and social, cultural, and consciousness evolution. Nature and relationship are required for personal, family/community, and environmental holistic health and wellbeing: the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of development; but also hormonal and metabolic balance, epigenetic prevention/mitigation, and strong immunity as well as creativity and prosperity. These natural relationships nurture the heart/spirit-soul-body, ease the mind, deepen connection, attune awareness, and contribute to coherency in the internal and external aspects of our everyday experiences.
Nature is Frequency, Nature is Relationship
For thousands of years, people have cultivated a synchronistic relationship with Nature/Spirit through the natural cycles, which are also expressions of frequency (i.e., Farmer’s Almanac, seasonal and holiday celebrations, etc.). Schumann waves (7.83 Hz), similar to the human alpha-theta brainwave state (i.e., meditation), are essential to our health and wellbeing. The human body mirrors the planet’s systems, elements, polarity, and electromagnetic fields in synergistic relationship evidenced by the pioneering research of physicist W.O. Schumann. In addition, studies have shown that regular engagement in nature lowers rates of diabetes, heart disease, and psychological disorders. Healthy natural areas (greenspace) also help to reduce mortality and to regulate the spread of vector borne disease.
Many cultures, spiritual, and religious traditions originated with a similar intent to harmonize with the natural environment (frequencies, cycles, landscape, ecosystems) for survival, social development, and sustainable living/evolution. Science was an exploration of the internal, external, and furthest reaches of our environment. Art (also used in ritual and ceremony) was a means of expression and communicating information with each other and our environment, call and response. The original importance of art and science are still evident within these cultures today and have been shared and expressed in new way throughout the world.
Harmonizing our Internal & External Environment for Personal-Collective Healing

Relationship is embeded in everyday way of being and way of seeing/sensing and relating to the world. We understand that imbalances in frequency and relationship also manifest as unresolved conflict, wounding, pain, and trauma + that affecting spirit-heart/mind-soul-body contributing to dysregulation within individual person, family/lineages and the collective community. Natural Design helps you to replenish your spirit, nourish the heart, and align with heart wisdom for depth healing within sacred living space.
