ABOUT STARHOUSE
The StarHouse is a beautiful sanctuary nestled in the foothills of Boulder, Colorado, serving and being served by the community for over 30 years.
Constructed according to ancient geometric principles of ideal symmetry, proportion and harmony ~ in relationship with the land and celestial beings ~ the building itself is a star map. Its axis is aligned with the North Star and it is perfectly oriented to the four directions.
The StarHouse embodies in its structure the changing seasons, fluctuations in sunlight, and dance of the planets and constellations ~ a powerfully supportive space that honors and celebrates the cosmic rhythms of change while nurturing deeper connections between the land, stars and human hearts.
Since 1990, people have been powerfully drawn to the StarHouse, often in magically synchronistic ways. Many describe a sense of being called here, of feeling home. From the moment you experience this place, you know you're encountering something special. It is a space that is both incredibly alive and yet peacefully still.
Surrounded by the majestic beauty of nature that continually changes and evolves with the seasons, we are reminded of the rhythmic cycles of life, death and rebirth. In the midst of this movement, we can also touch into the essence of life-force energy that is timeless and enduring ~ beyond beginning and endings. And we are reminded of the holiness, the wholeness, the sacred in all things.
In the midst of the chaos of a world in epic transition, the StarHouse is both a land-based place and an energetic field of refuge ~ truly a Sanctuary for the Sacred.
