Centered Life Sanctuary
Nature inspired sensory immersion
People have many options to take care of their outer body but fewer opportunities to nourish and refresh their inner selves. Centered Life Sanctuary offers contemplative experiences which help people connect to and nurture their inner well-being.
When faced with illness, stress, adversity or overwhelm in life, even the strongest person can become weary or exhausted. Finding sanctuary – a place of rest and reflection – can re-energize body and mind, leading to reduced stress, renewed focus and inspiration to find new ways of approaching the challenges of life.
Following are some of the experiences you can book at the Sanctuary. If you have questions or want to request more information, reach out to us at hello@discovercenteredlife.com

Sustain your steadiness
Change is inevitable and turmoil sometimes can push us off balance. A centered life is not something we achieve once. Rather it’s a way of tapping into our innate resiliency to thrive regardless of circumstance. It’s returning to center over and over again, regardless of the challenge or crisis of the day.
Find community
Discover Centered Life is made possible by the cooperation of a team of people who offer their support, skill, insights and hard work. We are a diverse, intergenerational and bi-partisan group of people interested in making contemplative sanctuary available for individuals from all different backgrounds and life perspectives to enjoy.
