About Sanctuary
A space for connection — with self, with others, and with something bigger connecting us all.
Sanctuary exists because healing happens in relationship. We are shaped in community, and we are restored in community. In these circles, we gather not to fix one another, but to witness, support, and gently mirror each other’s unfolding.
Sanctuary is a place to breathe, land, and remember you are not alone.
What Happens in a Sanctuary Circle
Each circle is a small, intimate group of up to 9 participants.
The size is intentional — depth requires spaciousness, trust, and a sense of being truly seen.
The Healing Power of Sanctuary
Healing requires three kinds of connection:
1. Connection with Self
The body remembers.
The soul whispers.
Circles help you slow down enough to hear both.
Through presence, reflection, and embodied awareness, you learn to trust your inner life again.
2. Connection with Others
Humans heal in community.
Being witnessed with compassion reorganizes something inside of us.
Shame softens. Isolation loosens.
We remember we belong.
3. Connection with God / Spirit
Healing isn’t only psychological.
It’s relational and spiritual.
Sanctuary honors the presence of something bigger —
the sacred thread that connects us all, holds us, and restores us.
Within each circle, you will find:
Trauma-Informed, Experienced Space-Holding
Our facilitators are trained to guide gently — with attunement, trauma-aware practices, and respect for your nervous system’s pace. We honor autonomy, boundaries, and the sacredness of your story.
No Fixing. No Rescuing. No Advice-Giving.
Sanctuary circles are not processing groups or problem-solving spaces.
They are spaces of witnessing: holding each other with compassion, curiosity, and reverence.
Agency + Choice
You choose:
what you share
how much you share
when you share
and what pace feels safe for your body
Your inner wisdom leads. We follow.
A Closed Circle
Once a circle begins, the group remains closed for the entire round.
This fosters:
trust
consistency
safety
and deeper relational belonging
A Community Responsibility
The facilitator holds the container —
but the community holds the space.
Every voice, every breath, every presence contributes to the field we create together.
Commitment Matters
Because our circles build week by week, we ask each participant to commit fully.
If you miss more than two circles, you’ll be invited to join the next round instead.
As a gesture of support, a portion of your payment can be transferred to the next circle.
Sacred Confidentiality
What is shared in Sanctuary stays within Sanctuary.
Stories, tears, laughter, insights — all of it is held with respect and discretion
