About Us
Brief History about Vereziere Sanctum
When Allison Lee Axinn and Paul Aurand along with Lucien Cattai established 'The Park', Transpersonal and Past Life Regression Hypnotherapy training program in Pietrasanta, Tuscany the intention was to create a safe place for trainings where practice went beyond theory and experiential exchanges could inspire deep change.
Since its founding in 2013, the Sanctuary has offered Transpersonal Hypnotherapy, Past Life Regression Therapy, Clinical Hypnosis and Advanced Trainings as well as Michael Newton Institute approved Life-Between-Lives Trainings, as well as Supervision weekends and Supervision Certification Weeks where personal development and working with volunteers creates a bridge between training and practicing.
Supervised weekends and review weeks taught us to continue developing techniques where we learned that creating a broader perspective by having multiple therapists work with the same client provided other insights, deeper awareness and comprehension to include other techniques, methods and support. Group debriefs have provided deeper understanding for therapists to have more insight and a broader view to gain a longer lasting shift in perspective.
This also came from the influence of private practice separate from the school, where we discovered sometimes including other sessions with other kinds of therapy techniques and other therapists could often bring a deeper, more solid foundation for healing.
It has also always been quite clear that personal development is also an essential when training as a therapist just as the awareness that we can always work on ourselves in order to be therapists whop are on balance. To bring a harmonious environment to our clients, we too must be enhancing our own growth and sense of being centered.
Located on a hill in Tuscany surrounded by olive groves, here is a secluded park where a variety of fruit trees grow... Our school and healing center consists of a main house with annexed buildings, a library, a meditation hut, a small creek, and some land where a fire circle and medicine wheel sit . The Park sanctuary is about a five minute walk by foot to the main square of our village. Pietrasanta has an international community of stonecarvers and artists with marble studios, mosaic and bronze foundries are located on the coast of the Mediterranean sea.

The expression that it sometimes takes a village to raise a child has been essential. There are moments when an in-depth support situation creates a real and enduring turning point and a therapist learns their trade as a calling, where the meeting of the minds nourishes something on a deeper level and commitment to healing..
And here is where Turning Point was born. After years of including other therapists to collaborate with the same client- as in some situations offering more then one modality can build a stronger base, we began to practice what we had dreamed of: creating the village for clients to feel safe in, with shared reviewing of perspectives and sessions to discover more profound ways to move forward.
In 2020, during Covid-19, we continued to offer face to face sessions, in person English and Italian trainings, supervised weekends, and Healing Retreats. And as there is always more to learn, so too our staff has evolved and changed through time, adding new Therapists, Instructors and Lecturers bringing their own insights and expertise to our programs, expanding the content as we believe each therapist and client may find some techniques to work better than others. And as therapists and teachers we are always inspired by our students and clients, in experiencing and practicing we look to learn new ways for effectiveness and enduring results. There is always more to learn...that is a great inspiration.
Trainings
Our intention has been set to work with very small exclusive groups . We find that with individual time and support this ancient way also at times like apprenticeships helps therapists build a better base. We like to learn about each student in order to support you in the best way for your individual growth and as a therapist. A fascinating aspect is how there are clear soul agreements between the students who come from all over the world.. One year five students from very different counties had overlaping past lives..
Over the years we have had the privilege and pleasure to teach hypnotherapy, active dreaming, and active imagination to people of many backgrounds: from therapists who are already practicing and those who are inspired to become therapists. School of life also builds a base and background for working with others, especially when we focus on what learning and understanding it has brought us, sometimes our trainings are about supplementing already developed skill sets that came into existence over the years in other professions or experiences such as care-taking or guiding. We have trained natural energy workers and occupational therapists, reike masters and sounding specialists and many others who work with other forms of mind body and spirit healing: doctors, nurses, surgeons, teachers, psychologists, artists, teachers, and many more.
Our basic trainings are open to everyone, especially people who wish to know more about themselves in the process of becoming a therapist.
Our trainings also have supported therapists to learn how to create their own therapy programs, healing centers and schools. We also provide continuing dialogues to help students to discover their next steps and, as always, we are available for mentoring support for therapists building their practices and practice centers.
To insure a highly individualized and multifaceted training:
Our trainings have a proportional ratio of Instructors, Assistant Instructors and staff to a small individualized group of students.
About Turning Point
About Turning Point
Beginning around 2005 we began to combine working with more than one therapist working with the same client in individual sessions, creating a possibility for joined support and feedback, and a wider range of therapeutic insight and methodologies.
We had observed supervised weekends with students where two or three therapists worked with the same client brought insights and change. And when we debriefed together we understood that we created more possibilities for understanding how to create a more comprehensive therapy. These experiences gave birth to a desire to have an more in-depth comprehensive program for those looking to change their lives.
Also combining body mind and spirit via sessions with ayurvedic masseuses and interactive body work along with therapy sessions our work became more grounded for each person to discover better ways to integrate and continue strengthening their development post retreat, post sessions.
Since 2018, the Sanctum began to offer these interwoven programs as a residential retreat where in-depth therapy and wellness programs could create a Turning Point.
Turning Point Residential Healing Retreat, is an intensive program created to help people who have chosen to change their lives, transform, heal, and move forward. It is open to anyone who has these desires, wishes, and commitments.
Even therapists need therapy:
