Modalities Integrated at
A Human Sanctuary
We believe that all beings have a deep inner compass guiding them toward self-actualization and our primary role is to guide people in reconnecting to this inherent knowing. We integrate the following approaches into one of a kind transformative healing experiences.
Integrated, Not Eclectic
These approaches do not sit beside one another — they are braided together, responsive to who you are and what this moment is asking.
The Practices
Modalities
Somatic Therapy & Embodiment Practices
The body is not a vessel that carries the self — it is part of the self, and it remembers what the mind cannot always speak. Somatic therapy honors this. We work gently with sensation, breath, gesture, posture, and the impulses that arise when we slow down enough to notice them, allowing the nervous system to complete what was once interrupted and find its way back to ease.
Embodiment practices invite this work into daily life — grounding, orienting, tracking sensation, movement, and intentional rest. Together they help reweave the connection between body and being, so that healing is not only understood but felt, lived, and carried forward in the way one inhabits the world.
Science-Based Self-Exploration
Understanding the physiology of stress, trauma, resiliency, intergenerational influences, and brain/body integration are explored in order to see the individual's path through the lens of patterning and expression. Psychoeducation around these concepts can help us to feel relief as we dismantle the idea of dis-ease being "all in your head".
We pull from cutting edge models of applied neuropsychology, creating spaces where biology can shift with safe connection and where people can learn nervous system practices to bring with them wherever they go. A few of the models that we integrate include Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Internal Family Systems or Ego State/Parts Work.

Nature-Based Healing
Ecopsychology stems from the belief that people are inherently a part of the web of life and that our psyches are not isolated from our environment. This holds the understanding that personal and planetary well-being are not separate from each other. Connection with the earth and its systems are at the core of nature based healing.
We utilize principles from various ecopsychology teachings, and partner with local indigenous peoples to share appropriate practices with our community members. We are committed to living our lives as sustainably as possible and providing support for others who wish to do the same.
Depth Psychology
"Depth" refers to what's below the surface of psychic manifestations like behaviors, conflicts, relationships, family dynamics, dreams, even social and political events. Depth Psychology recognizes the importance of the subtle, unconscious, and transpersonal aspects of human experience.
It is often referred to as the study of the soul. A depth approach may include therapeutic traditions that explore the unconscious and involves the study of dreams, complexes, symbols, expression, myths, and archetypes.
Experiential Learning
Experiential learning utilizes expressive tools and activities, such as props, arts and crafts, music, animal care, guided imagery, and mindful movement. In experiential learning, the world and activities become our mirror to examine stifled emotions or memories that call for processing.
This mirror allows for spontaneous re-enactment and revisiting of our life story, which empowers the individual to see themselves and parts of their experiences with new perspective.
Ancestral Wisdom
Safe places to express and process are desperately needed in our culture. We are a culture programmed into individualism, materialism, and competition, an often lonely and unfulfilling path. As a community, we seek to return to the abundance of ancestral practices such as song, story sharing, and movement that previously provided the opportunity for coming together to celebrate the human experience.
Almost all rites of passage and ceremonies have been abandoned with the onset of the industrialized revolution and were replaced with ideals of separateness. Returning to the roots of all humans, we find ceremony, balance, spaces where belonging and community are prioritized in addition to the individual self, where the mind/soul/body are viewed as integrated, and where dark times are as cherished as the light.
A Living Practice
"These approaches do not stand apart from one another — they are gathered, listened to, and braided into the shape of each person's becoming."
