Being is enough.
Caring for the women who care for the world.
WHY WE EXIST
Movements don’t run on outputs. They run on people.
We fund the campaigns, the research and the policy fights. We almost never fund the women carrying them. When they burn out, we treat it as personal. It is not personal. It is structural, and the fix has to be structural too.
The Sanctuary experience stewards two sanctuaries, one in Washington State and one in Mexico, where women imagining and creating a better world can rest, return to themselves, and remember that they are more than they produce.
WHO WE HOLD
Women reshaping the world, at the point of burnout.
Our sanctuaries are open to all women doing this work, and we prioritize Black and Indigenous women.
They are remaking the systems that shape all our lives while carrying the weight of systems never built for them to thrive. They are extraordinary. They are also exhausted.
Two ways in, one way of being held.
THE EXPERIENCE
Sanctuary Fellowship
Individual · 2–4 weeks · Washington or Mexico
An immersive stay to rest and reconnect with herself while remembering her wholeness.
Sanctuary Journey
Collective · One week · Washington State
A week together, co-designed with practitioners who share our values.
“Thank you for gifting me time and space. So that I may have perspective. So that I could wander and be alive again.”
2025 FELLOW
A revolution in how we sustain social change, by resourcing the people at its heart.
We ask nothing of the women who come here except that they be. This is made possible by people who want more women held this way.
