Good afternoon 🌧️

I’m feeling a little under the weather today 🤧 and with the rain coming down, I’ve decided to stay in and take it easy. But I thought this would be the perfect time to share a bit about my vision for The Sanctuary community forest.

As some of you know, I live with a couple of chronic health conditions that can stop me in my tracks. But that doesn’t mean the sanctuary project is stopping — far from it. It just means I’m building it with those realities in mind. I have a plan, though it may take a bit longer to come to life.

For me, the sanctuary is more than just a project — it’s a place of recovery, resilience, and purpose. I want to create something I can be proud of, something that transforms struggle into strength. Over the years, I’ve learned what truly matters to my health: food, water, shelter, and support — the basic building blocks of survival.

So, here’s what I’ve got in mind:

🌿 An outdoor kitchen and fire area to keep us warm and well-fed
🌿 Growing wild edibles and foraging-friendly plants across the land
🌿 Building everything we can from repurposed and discarded materials
🌿 Exploring water collection methods and, yes — figuring out where the compost toilet will go so we don’t have to run home every time nature calls 🚽

I don’t know exactly how it’ll all look in the end, but I’m genuinely excited to find out. The idea of creating a sustainable, survival-focused community sanctuary really speaks to me — and I’d love to hear what you all think.

Today We’ve been hard at work on the pathway, as you all know Accessibility is a very important part of this project and this pathway will make sure the sanctuary is accessible to all. There’s alot of work ahead, but luckily we a a tone of old bricks and stone that was dumped on the land years ago that we are making useful again, so i thought this would be a great opportunity for a Challenge. 😁Let’s see if we can build a wheelchair accessible path with only discarded materials. Give me a 👍🏻 if you like to see this.

If you would like to lead a hand or you want to just have a look around. we are there every Saturday morning, everyone is welcome.

Morning everyone I just wanted to show everyone the progress on the entrance of the sanctuary, we are aiming to be wheelchair accessible, so it’s definitely not finished yet as its too steep but I think it’s beautiful already, what do you all think?
