Where do you go to find sanctuary? Well, pop in your earbuds and take a journey with the community of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine as they seek and find SANCTUARY. Amidst soothing songs, hymns, and chants you will hear testimonies from survivors of 911, immigrants, gay men coming out, troubled women seeking answers, and all kinds of humanity finding peace in the unfinished structure known as the Cathedral of St. John the Divine and its diverse community. There are bells and horns and violins – oh my! as well as a tinge of the supernatural and spirituality. Doors close (or open depending on your viewpoint), helicopters hover, sirens pass by, and water and wind serve as a background in this immersive soundwalk.

Close your eyes and take the walk. Enjoy the generosity of these folks who share their SANCTUARY.
