What Is The Sanctuary?

A guided experience designed to help you regulate your nervous system, reset stress patterns, and access a more clear, grounded, and energized state.

You will move through a guided NeuroWellness Protocol, a four-phase system that takes you from release to restoration, activation, and integration. This is not about trying random modalities. It is about experiencing a tangible shift in your internal state.

"

You don't just attend. You move through a tangible shift in your internal state.

Why a Protocol?

Most wellness events are buffets. The Sanctuary is a structured intervention.

Your nervous system needs to discharge before it can regulate, regulate before it can activate, and activate before what you've experienced can integrate. Skip a phase and the shift doesn't hold. Move through all four and something actually changes.

At The Sanctuary, the sequence happens through anchor moments with the group. Between them, the enhancements stay open throughout the day, free for you to wander into at your own pace. The protocol gives the day its structure. The exploration is yours.

How It Works

A Guided, Yet Flexible Experience

You won't be rushing between activities or trying everything. You'll move through each phase of the protocol using a core experience, with the option to deepen your journey through additional enhancements.

Every path leads to the same outcome: a felt shift in your nervous system state.

A New Category of Wellness

What is NeuroWellness?

Most wellness asks "how do I feel better?" NeuroWellness asks "how do I regulate the system that creates how I feel?"

Your nervous system is the operating layer underneath your daily experience. It is the difference between calm and wired, focused and scattered, present and anxious. When it's stuck in stress, no amount of self-care lands. When it's regulated, almost everything else gets easier.

NeuroWellness draws from polyvagal theory, somatic practice, and emerging research on autonomic balance. It's becoming shared language across breathwork, cryotherapy, somatic therapy, and mental health care, all centered on one target: how your nervous system actually operates.

The Sanctuary is one live, in-person expression of that movement. A structured experience built to give your nervous system a tangible, felt shift in real time.

"

The nervous system is the operating layer underneath your daily experience.

The Core Modalities

The Practices Behind Each Phase

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)

A guided tapping practice on specific acupressure points that signals the nervous system to release stored stress responses. Often called "emotional acupressure," EFT has decades of research showing measurable reductions in cortisol, anxiety, and trauma activation.

Led by Carrie Crossman

Restorative Yoga

A slow, prop-supported style of yoga that uses long-held postures to trigger the parasympathetic nervous system. Unlike active yoga, it is not about effort. It is about giving your body the conditions to drop out of stress and into rest.

Energy Alchemy

Erlinda Vo's signature methodology. A four-state framework for transforming how you operate, working at the intersection of energy work, nervous system regulation, and intentional space design.

Clear what's been holding you back. Repair what's been depleted. Build a more aligned, energized version of yourself. Maintain the new state.

Led by Erlinda Vo

HeartMath Coherence

A scientifically validated training that uses heart-focused breathing and emotion regulation to bring the heart, brain, and nervous system into coherence. Backed by 30 years of research from the HeartMath Institute on heart-rate variability and autonomic balance.

Led by Carrie Crossman

Arrival Tip

Plan to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early so you can settle in, find your name tag, and ground into the space before the protocol begins.

What should I bring or wear?

Wear comfortable layers you can move in. We will be doing tapping, restorative yoga, and group coherence work, so something stretchy and breathable works best. Please bring your own yoga mat and a water bottle. Heads up: essential oils are used throughout the day, so wear something you do not mind picking up a light scent.

Is lunch included? What about dietary options?

Yes. Lunch is included for all guests. We will offer both vegetarian and standard options. We are not able to accommodate every dietary restriction, so if you have severe allergies (nuts, gluten, etc.) or strict requirements (vegan, kosher), please email support@thespaforyoursoul.com in advance so you can plan accordingly.

Do I have to do every phase?

No. The protocol gives the day its structure. The exploration is yours. You are welcome to skip any anchor moment that does not call to you, and the enhancements stay open throughout the day for you to wander into at your own pace.

What is the refund policy?

Tickets are non-refundable but fully transferable. If you cannot make it, you are welcome to gift your ticket to a friend. Email support@thespaforyoursoul.com at least 48 hours before the event so we can update your guest information.

What if I am pregnant, have an injury, or new to this work?

All experiences are designed to be accessible. Practitioners offer modifications throughout the day. If you have specific concerns, mention them when you check in and Carrie and the team will adapt the work to meet you where you are.

I am sensitive to fragrances or essential oils. What should I know?

Essential oils are part of the experience. They are used in several enhancements (including I Am Aligned) and are present in the ambient space. If you are hypersensitive to scents, prone to fragrance-triggered migraines, or have known oil or fragrance allergies, please email support@thespaforyoursoul.com before the event so we can prepare. Some experiences can be modified or skipped to accommodate sensitivity.

What if I feel emotional during the day?

This is normal and expected. EFT, HeartMath, and somatic work often surface feelings that have been held in the body: tears, laughter, sudden release, or simply feeling more present than usual. Carrie and the practitioners are trained to hold space for whatever comes up. You can opt out of any moment that feels like too much. Come with self-compassion.

What if I am not feeling well on the day of the event?

If you wake up unwell (fever, contagious illness, recent injury) or simply not up to it, please stay home. Tickets are transferable, so a friend can use yours. Email support@thespaforyoursoul.com so we can update your guest information. VIP guests with health conditions affecting Sanctuary Lounge participation (pregnancy, pacemakers, recent surgery, etc.) should reach out in advance so we can plan modifications.

Will I be photographed or filmed?

We will have a photographer capturing the energy of the day, and a Content Studio station for guests who want their own shots. If you would prefer not to be photographed, let us know at check-in and we will respect that.

I have never done EFT or HeartMath. Will I be lost?

Not at all. Both modalities are designed to be accessible on the first try. Carrie will guide you through every step. The protocol works for total beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
