In one paragraph
What is a workshop or training at Sanctuary?
A workshop or training at Sanctuary is a private teaching container in Southeast Washington, DC, beside four acres of DC parkland. The ceremony space holds circles, classrooms, boards, and open floor layouts, with a yoga lounge, dining lounge, and full kitchen for breaks between sessions. The property gathers up to 25 people by day for workshops, courses, and intensives, and keeps cohorts together overnight across the bedrooms. A trained facilitator can be arranged to hold the space, and catering and A/V can be added. Nothing is charged until the sanctuary team confirms your reservation with you.

After my first ceremony, I released grief I had been carrying since childhood. I walked in heavy. I walked out lighter than I have felt in twenty year...
I came in skeptical, expecting nothing. I left in tears, finally understanding what it means to feel held by community. I now attend every month.
I had tried everything. Talk therapy, medication, meditation. This gave me back something I did not know I had lost, my sense of belonging on this ear...

No 'cozy closet' with a shared wall.
A private house beside four acres of DC parkland, with a kitchen, a ceremony space, and a fire pit.
The 'superhost' here is the land.
We don't gamify ratings. We hold space. The reviews come when the gathering does.
Sleeps 13. Gathers 25. The listing undersells the better half.
The bed count is for rest. The real number is the circle you can hold by day, up to 25 in the ceremony space.
