“Consider your origin: you were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge.”

Inferno, Canto XXVI, line 118

Before the soul sings and the mind expands, the body must be still, nourished, and made strong. In the lore of Saint Dante, the Body is the first gate — the flesh-and-bone vessel that houses clarity and carries ritual. It is movement, nourishment, clothing, health. To honour the Body is to prepare the altar. It is discipline and delight. Weight and grace. The architecture of becoming. Without the Body, the sacred cannot take root.

Begin here. Begin with presence.
