A Human Sanctuary
Re-Discovering How to Be Human
Through Natural Connections
A Human Sanctuary offers innovative individual session work, animal assisted healing, nature-based connection courses, and trauma healing intensives.
In the pursuit of mind, body, and spiritual wellbeing, we believe in the practice of self-exploration across the lifespan. We nurture and harness the creative potential in all of life in order to realize our highest individual and collective stories. We envision a world that recognizes the worth of all beings, the kinship between humans, animals, and plants, and that realizes our essential role as guardians of Mother Earth.
A Human Sanctuary is located on unceded territory of the Qawishpa Cahuillangnah (also known as Cahuilla Band of Indians). We respectfully acknowledge all nine sovereign Bands of Cahuilla people who are the stewards of this land.
Current Offerings
Community groups and workshops are shared separately and can be found on our Community page. All services are designed with trauma survivors, highly sensitive people, and those with all forms of neurodivergence in mind. We highlight practices that support resiliency, nervous system healing, and interpersonal safety. Please feel free to contact us with any questions and inquiries.
We provide a safe, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can connect to their inner compass and work toward a more fulfilling and purposeful life. Embracing a collaborative, strengths-based perspective, we draw from various therapeutic approaches tailored to the values, needs, and goals of the individual. A Human Sanctuary specializes in the treatment of trauma utilizing Somatic Experiencing and EMDR.
Trauma Healing Intensives deliver deep and lasting relief from post-traumatic stress or other persisting
symptoms that are negatively impacting your life. Each intensive ranges in duration, typically 2-5 days, and is designed with the individual in mind. The intensive experience may integrate Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, expressive arts, and nature-based therapy. Each client’s goals, needs, capacity, concerns, and natural areas of resourcefulness are integrated into the design of the intensive.
Adaptation and Eco-Resiliency Courses (Coming in Spring 2025)
Rich online coursework that generates internal and community resiliency as we collectively transition through an era marked by both global challenge as well as a deepening realization of the preciousness of our Earth home. These courses will provide the tools to increase feelings of empowerment: emotionally, somatically, and interpersonally. You will learn how to be with the emerging emotions that are likely to arise during this critical shift in humanity and how to coach your children to do the same.
