Sacred Space is a unique non-combat zone located within the summit of Mt. Shartak. Following months of escalating violence on the island throughout late 2008 to January 2009, the spirits of the ancestors revealed the location of their sacrosanct grove for all of the island's inhabitants who sought refuge from the mainland carnage.
