The Sanctuary Membership

Your Refuge for Grief and Growth

Has grief, loss, or a painful past marked your life and heart?

Do you find yourself unsure of how to step forward?

Do you want to honor your grief + everything you’ve had to walk through, while also stepping toward your desires to:

  • Feel fully met by life-giving community, deep friendships, and loving partnership;

  • Do work you love, that inspires, fulfills, and supports you and the world;

  • Have the radiant physical and creative energy you need to dedicate yourself to your people, work, art, and new life adventures.

Let me guess,

You tend to be someone that takes care of everything and everyone, but you don’t feel taken care of or considered.

You are extremely capable and strong, so much so that no one seems to worry about you because you always appear to have it all together.

And on the outside you do, but on the inside, a lot more is happening:

  • You feel blah, disconnected, weighed down, tired, and unsure of what’s next;

  • Your mind seems to run at 5 thousand miles per hour, and you don’t often feel yourself in your body;

  • If feels like you’re in constant survival mode, even though you dream of finally thriving;

  • You are surrounded by loving people and beautiful places, but you struggle to feel present, relaxed, and soak it all in;

  • You feel lonely as you navigate it all, as no one seems to get or understand the complexity of what you feel - your need to give your grief space, while also wanting things to finally feel better.

If any or all of this resonates,

this is for you.

Welcome to The Sanctuary

The Sanctuary Membership is for women:

Living with Grief + loss,

FEELING untethered IN A Liminal + Void SPACE,

Navigating A big LIFE TRANSITION,

Or, feeling Overwhelmed in TIMES OF UNCERTAINTY + BIG UNKNOWNS

The Sanctuary was created so you can engage, process, and release grief and pain and regain your energy, creativity, and zest for life.

Here you will be deeply supported as you turn inward, tend to all of the emotions and parts of you that have been pushed down or away over the years, and then take new steps of growth and transformation forward as you are resourced and led, from the inside out.

You’ve probably gotten the message that…

after big hard life situations and moments, you are expected to simply move forward and keep going.

But you can still feel it all there, swirling inside, consuming your thoughts and energy. Maybe you’ve even wondered,

“Why can’t I seem to let this go and move past this like everyone else seems to have done?”

But Here’s the truth:

There is a reason you can’t seem to move past it.

There is a reason you can still feel it all swirling in your body, mind, and heart:

Big life losses, transitions, and pain come with a message and power that shakes you and cracks you open.

It is meant to lead you deeper into yourself, and with time, into a new way of living, being, and serving.

When you aren’t given space and support to feel the profundity of your grief, loss, all the big feelings that you feel along with it, you miss the opportunity that these moments offer to:

+ HEAL

+ CREATE A NEW, THRIVING FOUNDATION FOR LIFE

+ SEE AND SHIFT THE PLACES YOU’VE BEEN COMPROMISING and disconnected SO YOU CAN STEP INTO THE HEALTH, RELATIONSHIPS, AND WORK THAT YOU DESIRE.

THE GOOD NEWS IS:

This space has been created for you, so that you can honor the tremendous and life-changing nature of your grief and pain, and create a powerful and supportive foundation for you to live your life in the way you’ve always desired deep within.

While the external world and everything you want to see unfold for you is of course important and will be supported, here the foundation for your healing and growth begins in your inner landscape:

  • Your relationship to yourself

  • Your relationship to your grief and emotions

  • Your relationship to your body

  • Your connection to your inner wisdom and divine guidance

As you tend to and grow your inner garden, you will uncover a new spring of life within,

new energy that carries you and guides you forward to take steps toward your greatest life vision,

All while feeling seen, cherished, and supported.

“If you have been considering joining The Sanctuary let this be the encouragement/sign/nudge you need to do so! I became a founding member of The Sanctuary and I am so thankful I did. I had an initial hesitation to sign up due to a fear-based/financial-lack mindset, but I have worked with Ellie in the past and something was telling me that I needed to find a way to make it work. 

Every single call has allowed me to find emotional and physical release in ways that I would not have been able to do on my own. Ellie graciously and gently offers support and guidance in an incredibly nurturing and safe environment. She intuitively brings in themes and content that have perfectly aligned with my needs in each moment, and she allows the necessary time and space to process all that is emerging.

  
If you are feeling drawn, I wholeheartedly recommend that you join. The Sanctuary is a transformative experience!”
