The Sanctuary Sydney

I did a Day retreat on ANZAC day with my aunt, during my visit to Sydney. I was quite glad to get the booking as it was a holiday in Sydney. The plus points: Alex tried to be a lovely host. The vegetarian food provided was delicious. The day room, Sauna, Ice bath was beautiful.
The areas where my expectation was not met was: the retreat was at a residential house on a quiet street. There was only 1 massage table so both my aunty and I had to wait for the massage. I wish this was conveyed to us, when the booking was made. My aunty found the pool to be dirty, so she did not go for a swim. There was no clear path for the forest walk. (the forest walk was a public area). As it had rained in Sydney, it was difficult to do the walk. Since, I have been to many retreats and massages, I found the knowledge of the host very basic. In my opinion, this retreat is for a person who is a beginner to the world of retreats, massages, yoga and spirituality. The website created an expectation which was not met for the day. Thank you.

I am so grateful to have found the wonderful Alexis and Sanctuary TV in a time I needed it most.
I can’t express enough how life changing this group has been for me and how amazing and supportive Alexis and group teachers are throughout your journey with Kundalini, health practices and meditation.
As well as the group support you receive from other members.

I signed up in lockdown not knowing much about Kundalini thinking it was basic yoga classes and it is so much more than that

The Sanctuary has greatly changed my thought processes, outlook on life, goals, energy, problem handling and solving, health, self care and daily routines in life whilst also helping running my business more successfully and systematically.

You can’t explain all the feels till you try it!
Can’t recommend highly enough. Once you know this practice you can’t go back to the norm and old behaviour patterns!

Thank you Alexis and all The sanctuary team and members for your support and love

The Sanctuary is beautiful. Alexis is beautiful. I had the Shala foot massage which was simply to die for. So relaxing and peaceful. Many thanks for having me x

A very unique and spiritual women wellness weekend retreat! I enjoyed Yoga, Dancing, Sauna, Swimming and Massage. I have also tried out the cupping therapy 1st time which was great. The lovely host Alexis introduced me to Kundalini Yoga as well as using essential oils during the meditation and the daily life. The chef - Felipe did the amazing job on preparing us yum and super healthy vegan meals during the retreat. Highly recommended experience ️

I did the Full Moon Retreat at The Sanctuary Retreat with Alexis and it was amazing! Spending the afternoon with a beautiful group of like minded people, connecting, eating, talking, swimming, breathing. It was exactly what I needed right before Christmas, a chance to slow down, breathe and take some time out for me. I'd highly recommend looking into her retreats and visiting the amazing sanctuary that she's built.

The Sanctuary Retreat is a nurturing space with awesome facilities. Loved the ice bath and steam room combo - this is a fantastic health experience. Highly recommended to anyone needing a little self care and pick-me-up

Wish I could give minus stars. She don't deserve any. So Disappointed with my experience of this business. Alexia took my money then when Covid caused cancellations she refused to refund my money. The business has been receiving covid disaster payments, so she didn't need to keep my $197. I needed that money. I have put an official complaint to NSW fair trade, anyone who has had the same experience should do the same. In the current times it's unethical for a business to not refund.

Super generous to share the space and facilitate a wonderful afternoon. Thank you so very much. I’m in if this happens again.

Recently attended my first day retreat at The Sanctuary. We had such an amazing day of connection and cup filling activities. From yoga on the deck with sound healing, ice baths, sauna, tea and connection. Had the most beautiful time! The space is really special you instantly feel relaxed from when you walk through the door looking over tree
tops while having an ice bath or doing yoga really connects you to nature. Thanks so much!

I had such an incredible time at the Sanctuary Retreat! I really appreciate how welcome everyone felt to share space with one another. The Kundalini Yoga and Sound Healing were a great combination to start the day off with. I really enjoyed the Ice Bath and Sauna experience and it was such a delight to meet some beautiful new people in my life. Thank you so much Alexis and Felipe for having us! I'm looking forward to my next experience at The Sanctuary!

Guess what my favourite part of The Sanctuary is?

The peaceful energy made up of direct contact with nature, I absolutely adore bushwalking and seeing lizards, deer, wallaby yesss I saw them! The sunset on the gazebo is so healing and I have now become an avid fan of ice baths. I have been able to step out of life long addictions through using yoga meditation ice sauna to detox me and change careers too!

I love feeding the king parrots and making friends with their strong personality funny duck

It’s a must to visit you have nothing to love and all to gain I’d recommend The Sanctuary 1000%

Xoxoxo

Before working with Alexis I felt very lost, stressed and anxious in my career, relationship & overall health.

I have now powerfully established healthy techniques on how to deal with negative emotions & stressful situations to actually rise above them.

The Sanctuary Team have an inspiring mission to educate and awaken women to their fullest potential and have valuable offerings such as yoga and wellness workshops, healing and coaching as well as cooking classes and other events. A very holistic approach accompanied by a wholesome and radiant team who are heart-based. I have highly enjoyed and received a lot from my engagement with The Sanctuary Australia and will continue to grow with them.

The Sanctuary offers heart-based healing experiences that are thoughtful, artistic and empowering. The team is humble, open and insightful with a lot of love and passion fuelling what they create. My journey with The Sanctuary (in particular the Self Love Retreat) has been impactful and invaluable to me. I am grateful for Alexis and Curt as they truly shine and inspire others to do the same through their magical yet grounded approach to wellness. I am also grateful for the connections I have formed with like-minded others along the way through participation in group workshops and classes.

I am always learning something new when I spend time with The Sanctuary. Thank you!

I’ve loved my retreat experience. I really needed to be held and supported. I had been wanting to experience an ice bath so this was amazing. Alexis and Curt have so much experience and knowledge to share. I loved the kundalini practice and also the freedom that comes with drumming and dancing. I can’t wait to go back again.

The Full Moon Mini Retreat at The Sanctuary was such a wonderful healing experience! The Sanctuary is peaceful welcoming space to connect with others on their own spiritual evolution and reconnect with self. The host Alexis, is a beautiful soul with so much heart-felt wisdom and knowledge to share. Thank you gorgeous lady! I can't wait for the next one! Xx

️ Highly recommend the Sanctuary as well as being involved in the Community! It’s absolutely amazing, offers so many opportunities to enhance wellness, learning how to connect authentically with yourself & others to live your best possible life imaginable. It is a new way of living, a new perspective of seeing the world. Inspiring powerful, positive, progressive change as individuals and for our society going forward. Happy & blessed to have the Sanctuary apart of my life. ️

Huge and THANK YOU, Alexis and Curt!
It was a wonderful experience on the day of Full Moon. Sauna, healing, great easy going people and lovely food, cozy rooms, backyard and your openness were fantastic! I felt as if I knew everyone for a long time.
Very nice and relaxing. Highly recommended place!

Beautifully organised by Alexis and her team, well thought out with connecting with others. I can't wait to return to the next full moon <3

Thank you dear Alexis for the opportunity to teach at the Sanctuary. It was a joy and privilege to share the blessing of yoga in your warm and welcoming space, so conducive to deep peace and healing, Namaste, Iris

What the Sanctuary means to me is INNER STILLNESS, by taking the time to unwind and connect to my body. Alexis and Curt provides such a beautiful program for that. By starting your day with yoga to physically move any stagnant energy in your body, coupled with a beautiful sound healing meditation. After you have a break to go in the Sauna, and then a dip in the pool. The opposite of temperature going in the Sauna (which is hot) and pool (which is cold), fully awoke my body and felt really refreshed and energized for the week ahead.

Being in such a warm and friendly environment by the end of the day, strangers felt like a family to me. And now can honestly say the Sanctuary has become my new soul community and I look forward to be attending my next retreat and give another Self Love workshop. ️?
