Sacred spaces
The named rooms a living community needs — the hearth, the council space, the dojo, the sanctuary, the garden, the burial ground.
A community is not only a set of relationships; it is a set of places where particular things can happen. The canon names them as a family because each one does work the others cannot. The hearth, where people are warm together and nothing is required of them. The council space and the roundtable, where decisions are made among equals with no head of the table. The healing space and the learning space. The dojo, where strength is trained under discipline and witness. The sanctuary, where someone in danger may go. The garden, which feeds and teaches patience. The burial ground, which holds the dead and keeps a people in relation to its own ancestors and its own end.
The claim is that a community missing one of these is missing the capacity, not just the room. Where there is no sanctuary, someone in danger has nowhere; where there is no burial ground, grief has no address; where there is no council space, decisions migrate to wherever power already sits.
Held honestly, this is ore. The canon names the set and has written none of the cards — what each place is for, what forces it must resolve, how it is made at the scale of a village or an apartment. Until those exist the family is a good question rather than a craft.
What a Cell can do now is small and real. Notice which of these functions your body actually has and which it borrows or lacks. Most of them begin as a practice before they are ever a building: the hearth is whoever's kitchen; the council space is the circle of chairs; the sanctuary is a person who will open their door at two in the morning.
