Care before, during and after every ceremony.

First-time participants complete a questionnaire and an individual interview. Previous experience elsewhere does not replace this process.

The Sanctuary does not advise anyone to stop medication or treatment. Questions about health conditions or drug interactions must be discussed with the responsible health professional and disclosed honestly to the Sanctuary.

The number of participants is limited according to the Sanctuary’s capacity for organization and support. Directors and guardians remain present throughout the ceremony.

All guardians took part in first-aid training as part of the Sanctuary’s ongoing commitment to preparation and responsible care.

• Non-specialism: no one owns spiritual knowledge.
• Non-intervention: each person’s process is respected.
• Free will: every participant remains sovereign over their own journey.
• Silent listening and presence are forms of care.
• Words are used carefully, without imposed interpretations or diagnoses.
• Spiritual humility acknowledges mystery and individual limits.
• Service and fellowship express responsibility for the collective.
• Indigenous traditions are approached with ethics, gratitude and attribution.
• Autonomy and self-responsibility guide each participant’s choices.

Participants may contact the direction after an intense experience or when they need to clarify what kind of support may be appropriate.

Psychologists associated with the Sanctuary may provide initial listening within professional boundaries. The Sanctuary does not promise outcomes and does not replace clinical care.
