Sanctum, Retreat and School

Verziere sanctum was born through personal and professional experiences where we discovered that creating a safe  place where you are allowed to simply be yourself, and open up to the connection of getting back in tune with who you really are brings lasting transformation. We have sought to create a haven where  our clients and students can discover the tools they need  to live an inspired  life, one beyond  past damage and challenges, one where they could step into the light autonomously- with a sense of clarity and strength. 

Our programs are unique and completely tailored to fit each participant, whether student or client , to be able to follow their rhythm and yet consider how the work here will also continue when they are out again in the 'real' world so that what we build together brings lasting change.

We are selective in our student groups, as we consider it important to understand  how  to support  each of our students in both their personal development and in their  learning new techniques to fit in with their own unique backgrounds and characteristics to become a practicing therapist. 

We are also selective because we consider this work a deep responsibility, which requires building a safe place  with our clients and where there is a sacred trust to explore grow and heal. Our style in working with our clients is to connect before, during and after, so that a therapy experience provides another support on their path, one that they can also refer to when undergoing other experiences,  where their session and their learning becomes a tool they can use.

We have basic foundation programs, as well as  programs with advanced skills and techniques, year round mentoring and training  that also include zoom review and guest lectures as well as individual meetings for support and an emphasis on personal development exchanges. 

Optional supervised weekends, week long seminars,  advanced trainings and workshop projects bring more possibilities to learn. And we also train Sanctuary therapists so that they might open a healing centre themselves, mentored with support if needed.

Our Programs are residential.

One of our principles is that there is always more to learn: so our own therapists  always continue to work with their own personal development and studies to learn more skills.

We welcome therapists who understand that they need a retreat or respite in order to integrate all they are experiencing with additional support to enhance their process. We often create specific programs for them accordingly to their need  to recharge and  integrate , sometimes even learn and practice new skills and techniques both for their own development and to add to their practices.
