What is your sanctuary? Could it be a cabin in the woods? Could it be your favourite chair in your house? Could it be found in the company of your friends? What do you think, is sanctuary an actual place or can we find it within ourselves?
"Cindy Bisaillon ruminates on the idea of SANCTUARY (55 mins) in her off-the-grid cabin in the woods, interweaving her thoughts with tales from a naturalist, a refugee and a monk. She discovers clues to our future survival."
- CBC, IDEAS
For me sanctuary is camping in the woods or listening to a choir rehearse in a church or taking a long walk on a sunny day. Sanctuary for a moment was this podcast, particularly while Cindy was in her cabin. Listening to the sounds of the snow under her boots and the tinning of the can and the crackling of the fire. (25:30) One summer my cousin Jess and I spent an entire weekend recording sounds of a campground when we were kids. I think I still have the recording somewhere.
“The value of solitude depends upon one's self; it may be a sanctuary or a prison, as we ourselves make it.”

I love those audio snapshots you and Jess made. There are so many memories contained in those little sounds. We'll have to track down that recording. :)
I just sat and listened the your podcast on Sanctuary. I love the sounds. It was very relaxing. Thanks Jon.
Love Mom
