Altars don’t have to be religious. They can be simple, personal, and rooted in what matters to you — a space to remember, reflect, or just be.

Natural elements help bring the sacred down to earth.

You might include:

• Stones, shells, leaves, or feathers that hold meaning
• A candle, photo, or handwritten note
• A plant, small bowl of water, or piece of fabric
• Anything that grounds you or reminds you of who or what you’re honoring

Your altar might live in a garden, on a windowsill, or in a box that only you open. It’s yours to create — and recreate.
