Every year 20MOONS hosts a Slow Sanctuary for our community. It is NOT a performance. It is an experiential and ritualized process that encourages us to engage with the deeper parts of ourselves and each other.

The Slow Sanctuary invites you to enter a space and pace that exists beyond our ordinary world and minds.

This carefully crafted journey is intended to reduce interference from external factors, so that you may tune in to your own inner landscape.

Each Slow Sanctuary, we propose a seed for contemplative, collective inquiry. The seed aims to stoke curiosity around foundational, universal human themes that we often take at face value.

Through a process of community exploration, we move through surface level patterns/observations/knowing and towards deeper realms of wonder, inspiration, new perspective, understanding, and possibility.

For the fall 2024 Slow Sanctuary, we ask the question:
What is home?

Together we will contemplate this seed amidst an environment designed along with our longtime collaborators Elsa Jagniecki and Marje Cristol with a soundscape created in real time by 20MOONS' musicians.

Your process may include resting, witnessing, moving, writing, and/or speaking. All of these are possibilities, none are required. We ask that you participate in the way(s) that feel most rich and appropriate for you.

Come explore with us!
Doors are open from 10am-8pm
You are welcome to come at any time and to stay as long as you like.

If you would like to participate in a more structured experience, we will guide a 60-minute visualization at 10am, 1pm, 4pm, and 7pm
