Healing & Safe Place
The Walled Secret Garden
A high stone wall hides a garden no one has visited in years. Wild roses, an old fountain, your own welcome.
High stone walls hide a garden that no one has visited for years, where wild roses climb and an old fountain keeps time. You walk across the grass to find a seat and simply sit there while the water runs.
The whole visit is about staying in a place that is entirely your own.
High stone walls stand around a garden that has been left alone for years. You walk on uneven ground past wild roses that have taken over the paths.
An old fountain sits quietly in the middle and you are the only person arriving here.
What’s in it
A high stone wall hides a garden, wild roses, an old fountain, and your own welcome.
Why do it
Walking into a familiar safe setting, you can revisit and relax in a space of your own making.

Calm Alert Awakening
Awake and present, but calm rather than energized. Good for evening or pre-meeting use.
After Yapko, Trancework
Where it sits
A sanctuary, a healing temple, a forgiveness garden, a kept-quiet place.
Why going here does anything
Wild roses and an old fountain give the mind a few specific things to look at and keep looking at.
When the eyes are busy with the shapes of a safe place, the rest of the day has to wait outside the high stone walls. There is nothing to solve here, only a welcome that is already yours.
