Welcome to Soul Sanctuary

an oasis on the spiritual journey

Soul Sanctuary is an interconnected organic network of spiritual resources, offering personalized spiritual retreats in stunning Golden Bay, South Island, New Zealand.

A Soul Sanctuary is a safe, nurturing environment in which people come together to support each other to be more present, more conscious, more empowered and more enlightened.  It's a place for people who want to explore what's happening on our Planet and how we can respond individually and collectively to the challenges of transition.  It's a place to step out of the roles, conditioned responses and belief systems which limit and restrict us, and be real in our relationships - a sacred non-judgemental space to be gentle with self, share food, have fun, and engage in deep conversation with like-minded people.

Golden Bay, with its stunning light, pristine beaches, abundant bush, big skies and unspoiled natural beauty, has a special energy that draws people who aspire to a different way of living and are ready to create it.  It's an ideal place at any time of the year to let go, relax and re-source.  As you release the pressures of everyday life and connect with a deeper level of Being, you reconnect with the essence of wellbeing, wisdom and guidance within.

A Soul Sanctuary retreat is an opportunity to nurture body and soul while co-creating your own spiritual experience.  Chill out and be pampered, or  consciously accelerate your spiritual process - the choice is yours.
