I encourage anyone looking for a caring, safe and knowledgeable plant medicine organization to contact Sacred Sanctuary. My experience there has been nothing but positive.

I have been twice as a guest to the Sanctuary, and each time have greatly advanced my own healing–their attention to the details is phenomenal, and their love for the offering and for their guests is tangible; additionally, they offer the absolute best in preparatory support, individual awareness during the retreat, and post-retreat integration which are just a few of the keys that can make all the difference. The facilitators and those who coach in connection to SS are of a quality that I haven’t experienced elsewhere. An example of what I mean is, think of the perfectly adequate, well-meaning teachers you’ve had in life, and then think of the ones who stand out as life-changing for you–this is the caliber of people who make Sacred Sanctuary available.

What sets the Sanctuary’s group and medicine apart for me is something that feels led by the medicine itself. The facilitators are mature in their work and know what they are doing, yet are incredibly humble, kind and normal (no silly showiness, just genuine connection to this work), and the medicine appears to be able to expand within such an environment–I found my personal “work” there was lifted into a whole new direction, made possible as the facilitators and trusted volunteers move seamlessly within the flow of Aya’s direction. Both times I was there other guests were saying the same things: “The medicine feels different, comes on differently, is somehow more gentle yet deeper and more expansive and effective,” etc.

They provided for our comfort in all ways so that we could give over to the hard work of the ceremonies. By the way, the food they serve will make you want to stay there forever.

It is like, with all the parts working together so fluidly because of the facilitators (who each have a long history of working with medicine and bring a deep respect and integrity to the organization itself, each oth and all individuals involved and the medicine most importantly), a new paradigm of medicine work appears to be possible there. I have trusted this group with my dearest family members as well. What I hear from others and KNOW for myself is that a weekend spent in the professional, loving care of Sacred Sanctuary will have lasting benefits on your life, your peace, your growth and all of your relationships. I myself am daily, profoundly grateful.
