A traditional anchorhold was a cell-like dwelling, attached to a church. here an anchoress/anchorite would retire from society to live a solitary life of intense prayer and spiritual practice. From this concentrated effort they served humanity as spiritual guide. This early form of monasticism was widespread in Europe from the 12th to 16th century as the gifts of considered thought were offered freely.

this is a digital anchorhold, my modern version of an ancient tradition, which I think needs both

resurrection and reinvention.

As earlier anchoresses did, I offer you my best spiritual thoughts.

 

Here you will find my collected writings and curated artistic endeavours, as well as those of others, all emerging from the marriage of contemplation and compassion. 

contemplation. Compassion. creativity.

the sacred trinity of possibility

Every blessing as you enter your anchorhold and converse. . .
