We create shrines to hold your special memories of people, animals or places. Or to act as a focus for your contemplations. We build sanctuaries, small and large, where you can retreat from the turmoil and stress of everyday life. Special places where only your rules need apply. Somewhere you can connect with the divine or just chill out. Options include both bespoke and pre-created designs. Shrine and Sanctuary is a collective of artists, feng shui practitioners, landscape designers and landscape builders. We combine our spiritual vision with an ethical and sustainable approach to our work. View new designs at www.shrineandsanctuary.co.uk Email us at info@shrineandsanctuary.co.uk Tel: 0300 303 1022
