"Sacred spaces can be created in any environment"
About this Quote
The intent is portable agency. “Created” is the operative verb: sacredness isn’t discovered like a hidden temple; it’s constructed, chosen, maintained. That’s a subtle rebuke to the wellness industry’s fixation on perfect conditions - the right studio, the right retreat, the right aesthetic. Turlington’s subtext suggests the opposite: the point of practice (yoga, meditation, breath, ritual) is not to escape noise but to metabolize it. Sanctity becomes a skill, not a destination.
Context matters because models are often framed as surfaces, not authors of meaning. This quote is a bid for interiority, a claim that environment doesn’t get the final say on your dignity. It also echoes her later public work: childbirth, healthcare, and caregiving rarely happen in serene settings, yet they demand reverence. The phrase “any environment” opens the door to the unglamorous and the crowded, insisting that the sacred is available even when life isn’t curated.
