Attention sanctuaries exist now but hide because they are endangered.

Evidence

“Sanctuaries” of this sort for true attention already exist. They are among us now. But they are endangered, and thus many are in hiding, operating in self-sustaining, inclusive, generous, and fugitive forms. These sanctuaries can be found, but it takes an effort of attention to find them, and this seeking is also attention’s effort to heal itself. — The Friends of Attention, Attensity!, 360
