Sumela Monastery is located in the Maçka district of Trabzon Province, in modern-day Turkey. It is a former Greek Orthodox monastery whose foundation dates back to the 4th century CE. The monastery was restored several times by various Byzantine emperors, and its present structure primarily dates to the 13th century. It is dramatically nestled into a steep cliff face at an elevation of approximately 1,200 meters, overlooking the lush Altındere Valley.
art will save you, being unreasonably passionate about something niche will save you, letting past sources of joy show you the way back to yourself will save you, earnestness over composure will save you, the natural world will save you, caring for something bigger than yourself will save you, daring to be seen will save you, kindness not as a whim but a principle will save you, appreciation as a practice will save you, daring to try something new will save you, grounding will save you, love will save you, one good nights sleep will save you
