Our symbol
Love as a light
TThe Weirdo Collective Sanctuary uses the symbol of a four-pointed star to represent Love as a guiding light in our spiritual practices and community. Each point of the star embodies a core principle that reflects the sanctuary’s values and serves as a roadmap for personal and collective growth. This symbol encapsulates the sanctuary’s commitment to holistic healing, meaningful connection, and spiritual empowerment.
