Healing Through Natural Connections
Welcome to A Human Sanctuary
Greetings dear human, we extend a heartfelt welcome to you! Here at A Human Sanctuary, we offer innovative individual therapy, trauma healing intensives, support groups for the communities we serve, and coursework to aid future generations in eco-resiliency. We specialize in supporting people who feel overwhelmed by the poly-crisis, uncertain about the future, or are struggling to cope with the profound changes unfolding in the world as we know it. Our approach emphasizes practices that nurture resilience, support nervous system healing, and foster a strong sense of interpersonal safety. We are a safe place for people who seek refuge, healing, and personal transformation.
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 spirit 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.
Our sanctuary is located in Idyllwild, California, within the San Bernardino National Forest, on the unceded territory of the Qawishpa Cahuillangnah (Cahuilla Band of Indians). We respectfully acknowledge all nine sovereign Bands of Cahuilla people as the traditional stewards of this land.
Services & Offerings
At A Human Sanctuary, we recognize service and meaningful engagement in community as an essential quality to our own becoming. These services come from our heart, from our soul's personal calling, and we seek alignment in all those we serve. We are happy to jump on a consultation call to ensure an accurate match for your healing journey.
Individual Therapy
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.
Deep Adaptation & Eco-Resiliency Courses
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.
Healing Intensives
Trauma Healing Intensives deliver deep and lasting relief from post-traumatic stress or other persistingsymptoms 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.
