An Altar for Your Spiritual Practice

by Leave a comment

Personal altars in our homes enable us to affirm the presence of the sacred in the midst of our everyday activities.

These places of prayer, ritual, or meditation can be oases of silence, centering, and creativity.

Here are some books on how to turn a corner of your home into a sacred space.
