Laura Stiles- Sacred Place

At the beginning of the class, I was under the belief that we were going to have to discver a sacred place and write and analyze about it, but the catch was that there are only so many sacred places, and they must be ancient and in far away countries. To my surprise and relief none of these things were true. For me this course was really about new ways of thinking about and appreciating nature and the wilderness. It is great to know that anywhere important to me, where I perform ritual, has the potential to be sacred. It's so empowering!
