Sacred Spaces

Cathedrals are increasingly welcoming novel explorations of their
tremendous interiors. In this episode of the Sheldrake-Vernon
Dialogues, Rupert Sheldrake and Mark Vernon discuss the powerful
experiences that come with feeling free in sacred spaces. They
look at how to access the sense of presence they hold, from lying
on the ground to sitting in silence, noting that how you approach
a building or shrine affects the spiritual qualities revealed.
It’s also about the rediscovery of invocation and ritual, gesture
and stance, and how they yield different dimensions of reality.
This can happen without words, too, in subtle forms of search.
The Coronavirus and lockdown only underlines the blessings
received by visiting sacred places. They also ask how sacred
places can be made at home.
