inner sanctuary
Most private space
The innermost or most private part of a sacred space, originally the holiest chamber of a temple where only priests could enter.
By extension, any deeply personal retreat or protected space where someone feels safe from intrusion: Her studio was her inner sanctuary.
The phrase emphasizes both privacy and reverence—a place set apart from ordinary life.
