Black Stone Sanctuary

"Building truly attention-restorative places while living in a structurally extractive culture requires refusal. It calls for learning to say no to many things, including many we'd genuinely love to do — not out of self-punishment or masochism in the name of monastic discipline, but out of awareness that every yes we utter means a no to countless other things (implicitly or explicitly). [...] It calls for withdrawing our energy from all extractive forces that leave humans drained without adequate reciprocation."
