Sacred Spaces

Have you ever stepped into a space and suddenly felt like the world had tilted a little bit more on its axis? Through our lives, there are certain spaces we are allowed access to and others that are considered sacred. Spaces where you don’t belong or maybe just never thought to. What makes these spaces so unique and yet so tied together? I thought about all the spaces I had stepped into and felt foreign. When you start to think about why these spaces have this effect, I find that the reasons range from intimacy and expectations to privilege and expertise.
