Founded by Sr. Stan Kennedy in 1998, long before meditation or mindfulness was on the tip of everyone’s tongue, the Sanctuary is a not for profit centre that nourishes personal growth, through creativity, meditation and spirituality, and empowers positive social impact. The centre provides workshops and resources in mindfulness, yoga, contemplative and artistic practices, and works with individuals and communities to promote a more compassionate, kind and just society.

The Sanctuary has evolved organically over the years to include mindfulness programs for schools, programs for carers and those working on the frontlines of society. Moreover, it offers tailored programs for commercial organisations, charities, workplaces and management teams.
