In September last year, something was born that no one could have fully predicted. The idea was simple: to create an event where people could meet, talk, connect… and feel. But what emerged went far beyond even the organizers’ expectations.

Be Your Own Sanctuary became a living, breathing space for everyone – women and men, young and old, families, friends, and complete strangers who left as acquaintances. Here it doesn’t matter where you come from or what you do. What matters is that you arrive with your heart open, even if only for a moment.

A meeting place of many worlds

Over the past year, in the halls, corners, and gardens of Be Your Own Sanctuary, worlds have crossed:

• people carrying their medicines and holistic ways of seeing health,
• creators of art, crafts, and unique handmade items,
• enthusiasts of healthy living and natural therapies,
• and those who simply wanted to pause and catch their breath.

There was space to talk about what hurts – in the body and in the soul.
Space to exchange experiences.
To discover new paths to wellbeing together.
To laugh over coffee and homemade cake, to share a quiet conversation in the corner of a room, or to receive a kind look from someone you hadn’t known just a moment before.

An atmosphere that stays with you

Those who came – they know. You could feel it from the very entrance.
The air was thick with understanding, acceptance, and respect.
No competition, no masks – just real people with real stories.

Be Your Own Sanctuary is not a fair, not a conference – it is a living organism, combining the energy of conversation, art, natural medicine, and simple human presence.
Over the year, friendships were formed here, collaborations began, and even plans for entirely new initiatives were born.

One year later – a new chapter

On September 21st, 2025, we return. But this is no simple repeat.
It’s an anniversary – a moment to look back at all we’ve built and step into another year with renewed energy.

With courage to grow this space even stronger.
With heart, to welcome new people.
With gratitude – because without those who came, sat, talked, and shared themselves, Be Your Own Sanctuary would not be what it is today.
