Spiritual Practice isn’t about Healing.
It’s about diminishing our suffering, from the root, by remembering then centring what’s really Real.
The Problem:
Most of us don’t have the privilege or dharmic inclination to spend hours on the mat.
Most of us are far from ready for formal lineage-based practice.
Most of us are in survival and simply seeking relief.
Which is what you’ll find In Sanctum.
In Sanctum is a low stakes, sacred space where noone is asking you to be a perfect practitioner or perform a level of attainment beyond where you stand.
In Sanctum we meet regularly to Glimpse the aspects of reality that provide a sense of inherent worthiness, nourishment, deep rest and that truly set us free.
Together we’ll make space for grace through:
· LIVE Breathwork Journeys (quarterly)
· LIVE themed meditations & energy healings (weekly)
· LIVE Source Field Activations (weekly)
· Community sharing & support in our WhatsApp Group &
· A membership site of micro-practices to hold you between LIVES

The New Moon is associated with Fresh starts and New Beginnings. Group practice helps us amplify and better entrain with whatever intentions we set during class.
-
Yes there will be recordings to review practices and for the days you can't attend LIVE. -
Mel will teach most of the classes. Every now and then she may invite a guest teacher.
-
We start with once a month because we'd like to build self-trust. Making a simple commitment that we can easily keep helps us build discipline in a gentle and sustainable way.
With that said, real, life-changing transformation usually only comes from consistent practice over time.Though you'll be exposed to a range of techniques throughout the year, you're encouraged to rewatch the class (or at least the parts you find useful) multiple times throughout the month.
On the membership portal you'll be provided with a suggested daily and weekly practice based on the month's theme and your experience level.
In addition to our monthly workshops we also meet once a week on Tuesdays at 7pm GMT +2 to practice together. View timezone. -
We host optional LIVE 30 minute group practice sessions once a week that you can join. Sessions are Tuesdays at 7pm GMT +2. View timezone.
We also have a group for daily accountability.

Super Early bird rates are open with pre-training tasks available immediately.

Mel will be hosting multiple wellness retreats in Namibia in 2025 - Contact us if you’d like to learn more.

It's a term Mel developed that describes a range of topics which most healing spaces tend to avoid.
These include things like the role of healing arts paractitioners in collective liberation, antiracism, queer rights, unconscious sexually predatory behaviours that are common in healing arts spaces, spiritual bypassing, shadow hierarchies, the invalidation of invisible illnesses and the differently-abled, spiritual gas-lighting and more.
Many classrooms completely ignore these very real issues for fear of being seen as "low-vibe" or "divisive".
The practice invites those who are interested to learn how to build the resiliency to meet, both ourselves and others fully so we can take right action in 3D.
We train ourselves out of the tendency of collapsing when faced with difficulty. We develop a strong Spiritual Spine. -
The Practice has three main intentions:
- Deliberate, embodied exploration so you don't commit to a lineage or practice that's inappropriate for you.
- The development of competency through repetition as you rewatch the recordings.
- The gentle commitment of healing in community and having fun.
While there's only so much depth that one can cover in a 2 hour class the information on the membership site, recommended readings, podcasts and Q&A portion of the workshop are there to help you find direction so you can continue your investigations and form a long-term practice in intelligent ways - Mel will help with this.
The team is also developing some additional micro-trainings on each theme so you can dive deeper on the themes, practices and lineages that speak to you. -
Not at all. Use what's useful. Leave the rest.
-
If we have enough people from The States and Australia signing up, Mel may consider adding another timezone. Please email us if you'd like to join the waitlist for a USA/AU timezone.
If you're an experienced breathworker and don't mind learning via recording, you have that option as well. -
Unfortunately we don't have access to a payment gateway that makes this financial viable.
If you're in financial hardship and require a custom payment plan. Email us. -
Unfortunately not. Signing up means you're joining this membership for the full 2025 year and will be liable for full fees accordingly. There are no refunds and you’re liable for the full fee upon first payment receipt.
If you're not in the position to commit to showing up for yourself once a month (and catching up on recordings), then Mel's not the appropriate facilitator for you.
-
Unfortunately not. We're keeping prices as low as possible which means we'd like to keep admin as low as possible as well.
If there's someone in your life who could benefit from joining us; consider purchasing a membership for them as well. These experiences are particularly fun and powerful when you have people to reflect on them with.
Contact us if you have any questions on purchasing memberships for others. -
