THE SANCTUARY IS A THREE SEASONS RENTAL IN THE HEART OF NOVA SCOTIA’S SOUTH SHORE
Glamping with a bit of luxe, a bit of wild and the hum of sacredness.
Your stay is located near gorgeous local restaurants and cafes, walking trails, salt and fresh water beach escapes, and local artisan shops in neighbouring towns -Mahone Bay and Lunenburg. Something for everyone and every mood.
The space for your stay is unique, whimsical and surrounded by nature. For you, and/or a beloved friend - partner.
It shares the land with our private residence. A energetically grounding and loving land space.
The Sanctuary is a space to hold you, soothe your nervous system, awaken your curiosity, reignite your connection to the elements, to yourself and the magic of life within and without. A space where you can create your own personal retreat for rest, reflection, play, inspiration, and UNTAMING - so you have space to breathe, dream, create and invite an experience of sacred simplicity. A great space for artists, writers, a time of transition in your life and for solo work retreats, where you can go inward for direction, visioning, and quiet for planning your next evolution. AND of course a space for anyone desiring some slow time to just BE, where rest becomes ritual, a space to listen and awaken to yourself more gently.
THE SPACE
Retreat to the Sanctuary—where rest becomes ritual, where Mother Nature speaks in wind whispers, bird calls, rain meditations and your heart & soul finally has space to listen.
WITH GRATITUDE
“Waking up in the sanctuary after a beautiful cosy night sleep held in the safety and softness of the yo’m was pure bliss, surrounded by the carefully curated and wonderfully handpicked furnishings that Amanda has chosen adds to the experience of feeling totally cared for and held in this wonderful magical space!
Don’t let the nature of an off grid fool you into thinking this is anything less than luxury.
The little bathroom has everything you’d need and more light and airy space with a beautiful full-size shower to enjoy the hot water during my shower, a luscious space inside the yo’m to spread out in and enjoy the retreat from busy life. Walk up the gorgeous back garden to the top of the hill, taking in the fresh air and scenery.
I am incredibly honoured to have been the first guest to stay at this little place, a place that has come to mean so much to me and has witnessed so much growth so much letting go and so much healing always surrounded by love and acceptance.”
Much love xo

“What a gorgeous retreat space! It was just the thing my soul needed after a busy summer and vacation with family. You are so generous with your cards and crystals, etc., and your warm energy made it that much easier to relax into some time alone.
I appreciated your flexibility with my friend Sarah coming to stay one of the nights; it was a great chance to connect and we talked late into the night. The spiral was a great experience and I would have walked it multiple times if I wasn’t recovering from a broken ankle!
Thank you for the lovely stay — I hope to come again!”
