Why the Elephant Holds a Sacred Place in My Work

There’s a quiet, steady presence that has walked beside me for much of my life. You’ll find it in my logo, in the energy I bring to each offering, and in the sanctuary space I hold for others.

That presence is the elephant.

It’s no coincidence that the Turquoise Sanctuary logo features an elephant. This sacred animal has been a companion on my journey since childhood—appearing in dreams, stories, and subtle signs that always seem to arrive just when I need them most. Over time, I’ve come to understand that elephant medicine isn’t just about admiration for this majestic creature. It’s part of the energetic current that flows through my work.

What Does Elephant Animal Medicine Teach Us?

Elephants carry the energy of ancient wisdom, compassion, and unshakable memory. They remind us of the power of quiet leadership—the kind that doesn't demand attention, but naturally earns respect through grace and presence.

They are fiercely protective of their community, yet deeply gentle with their young and their elders. They grieve their losses and remember their dead. They gather in matriarchal herds, led by the oldest and wisest female—a living embodiment of Grandmother Medicine.

When Elephant appears, it invites us to:

• Trust our inner knowing
• Lead from the heart
• Honor the past while walking steadily into the future
• Stand in our power without force or fear
  

Why Elephant Symbolism Speaks to the Work I Do

In many ways, Elephant energy mirrors the space I hold for others—especially the women who come to Turquoise Sanctuary seeking rest, renewal, and reconnection. My offerings, whether through Sanctuary Integrated Yoga, energy healing, or the Lunar Women’s Circle, are grounded in nurturing strength. Not hurried. Not flashy. Just present, wise, and rooted.

The Elephant reminds me to take up space with love. To guide with tenderness. And to offer sanctuary not by fixing, but by holding.

When Elephant Shows Up for You

If elephant medicine has been appearing in your life—through art, dreams, conversations, or subtle nudges—pause and take notice. You may be being called to soften into your own strength, or to remember that you are never truly alone. The herd is always nearby, whether seen or unseen.
