“The most important thing about the Self-Sanctuary was that simply deciding to participate meant stepping away from the rushing and to-do lists. The half-day format and remote setup made it easy to commit to and stick with. I appreciated the variety of activities, the well-balanced curriculum. Nina’s calm, organized, and compassionate presence was a highlight. This is a great half-day respite from daily life—relaxing, informative, and easy to commit to. You are a fabulous presenter! Everything was well-planned, technical issues ran smoothly, and you were calm, inspiring, and reassuring.”

“The Self-Sanctuary Experience helped me learn to come to myself for comfort, acceptance, and nourishment. One of the biggest takeaways was realizing that taking care of my needs isn’t hard—it’s essential. Spending a few hours focusing on self-care left me feeling refreshed, energized, and in a place of clarity and harmony.
I participated via the recording, which worked well for me, and I appreciated the breaks and physical activities to stay engaged. The experience was perfectly balanced with both learning and self-care practices.
To anyone considering this program: You matter, and you deserve this time for yourself.”

“It is so nice to take four hours to concentrate on self-care only. This experience reinforced how important it is for me to take time for myself to do whatever feels nourishing. This was very relaxing, easy to follow, and self-nourishing. I’d recommend it highly! And Nina—you have a very soothing voice!”

“It was a wonderful experience of getting back to the basics of self-care and inner listening with an excellent guide. My biggest takeaway was knowing that I have physical and emotional tools at my disposal to help me get back to my core knowing, peace, and relaxation. When I get back to that, I can go out into the world and do what is needed from a place of ease—it ultimately makes living in the world a little better these days.

We need to take care of ourselves so that we can find peace and purpose. Self-Sanctuary gave me a chance to give my ‘active, doer’ self a rest and open up to my more ‘receptive’ side so that I could give myself the care and attention I need. Nina is a terrific source of knowledge, complemented by various exercises to bring it all to life.
