Upcoming Events

Hello!

Welcome to our Events Page, where you’ll find a variety of workshops, retreats, and community events aimed at supporting your healing journey. At Sanctuary, we believe that healing isn’t just about addressing the symptoms of mental and emotional distress, but about (re)discovering and (re)connecting with yourself. 

Our events are designed to be warm, welcoming, and safe spaces where you can connect with others and explore non-traditional therapy techniques including expressive arts, ecopsychology, mindfulness, and more. Each offers the opportunity to learn new skills, gain new perspectives, and connect with like-minded individuals. They can also provide a sense of community and support – so important for those of us feeling evermore isolated and longing for authentic connections!

Check back here often as we regularly update the page with new information!

You are welcome here.
