Experiences: The Sanctum, A Haven

Though most of our work is done in corporate organisations, we do run some open programmes and experiences that are available for all – places and spaces where people like you can explore what it means and what it takes to be alive, connected and conscious in the world.
The Sanctum
Born back in 2020 in the chaotic heart of the global pandemic, The Sanctum is a space for ‘Cultivating the spirit of self in sacred sanctuary’ As life ebbs and flows around us, and inside us in myriad ways, it is a place to settle, soften and unfold, discover and wonder – somewhere to be quiet, introspective yet connected – energetically held by a community of fellow seekers, travelling alongside you.
The Sanctum, A Haven
There’s a lot going on. A lot. A LOT.
Everywhere.
And it’s a lot.
The heat and motion of the fiery season might distract us from this, or it might exaggerate it. Neither of these seems very useful, but respite is essential too, so, this summer, amidst the movement and madness, I invite you to drop in, pay attention and find some stillness and quietude with me in The Sanctum, A Haven.
A short mini-season this time round, just three weeks long – to anchor you and keep you in rhythm without tying you down. Somewhere safe and holding, to be with all that is and can be. There is no charge to join, but a suggested donation of £25 to on the ground relief teams working in Gaza as a way to mark your place in here, while honouring what’s happening out there.
Join the community for The Sanctum, A Haven.
In each circle, held weekly, we’ll meet for sacred community ceremony. In our gatherings we’ll rest into tea ritual, gently guided by poetry and systemic wisdom, and connect in silent meditation and reflective space. We participate in our collective experience in silence – this is a quiet space with heaps of connection, but no sharing circle or group conversation, so you can rest in and gently explore in privacy, as part of a beautiful conscious community.
All sessions are optional – come as and when you please.
