Experiences: The Sanctum, Spring Season
Experiences
Though most of our work is done in corporate organisations, we do run some open programmes and experiences that are available for all to join us in.
This includes regular Yoga Nidra classes and group meditations (currently on Zoom)
We also run The Sanctum – a seasonal space where individuals gather virtually to cultivate their inner spirit through various practices and exploration.
The Sanctum
The Sanctum was created so that you have a place to nourish your soul. A place to settle, soften and unfold, to sink deep into self, remember, discover and wonder. A place to be quiet and introspective – energetically held by a community of fellow seekers, travelling The Sanctum alongside you.
The Sanctum, Spring Season
In our Spring Season, we’ll once again tap into nature’s energy, and let it lead us in our personal exploration. As the days grow longer, the weather warms and we (hopefully) begin to gather resources in preparation for a gentle re-entry into the wider world, the Sanctum will support you to bring rhythm and focus to your days, so you can bring that to the rest of your life with presence and meaning.
There’ll be 7 sessions, once a day for one week, then 3 more sessions in the weeks following. The way we gather is designed to support you in developing or deepening a form of daily, or at least regular spiritual practice.
We’ll meet virtually for live ceremony, centred in Cha Dao tea meditation and guided wisdom. Cha Dao ‘The Way of Tea’ is rooted in the beliefs and practices of ancient Taoist Sages who considered tea to be a medicine that touched and enlivened the human spirit. They drank tea alone and together as a way to connect with self, each other and the natural world.
A Tea ceremony held in this tradition is a chance for us to be alone, together, for us to find stilling and silence, for us to pay attention and listen deeply from a place of relaxed being. It is a grounded and magical meditation. We’re bringing it into the Sanctum with these intentions.
So, this isn’t a teaching per se, but a place you will come to rhythmically to meet yourself deeply through the art of scared ritual. As we drink tea in silence, and meditate on that and other poetic wisdom, you are invited to remember and relearn the essence of your nature.
We gather as a group online and participate in our collective experience in silence. There is no sharing circle or group conversation, so you can rest and explore in privacy, within community. Sacred, quiet time spent alone, together. The Sanctum won’t change your life, but it will invite you to find the keys so you can open the doors to it.
