We help people thrive.

The Sanctuary Charitable Trust was founded after a collective call for action to empower changes not only in our own personal wellbeing but also in our collective community. Sustainable communities are built by creating conscious connection and collaboration with groups of individuals.

Our main focus is to offer a range of holistic, educational, wellbeing and support services. These services will encourage individuals, groups and businesses to live in a healthier, balanced, unified and knowledgeable way. We encourage and develop deeper interpersonal connections, collaboration, compassion, confidence and trust.

​

Our services are aligned with Te Ao Maori, a holistic view of health and wellbeing, known as hauora. It comprises taha tinana (physical well-being), taha hinengaro (mental and emotional well-being), taha whanau (social well-being), and taha wairua (spiritual well-being) Our connection with the whenua/land forms the foundation.

When all these things are in balance, we thrive. When one or more of these is out of balance our wellbeing is impacted.

​

Our aim is to offer our services at a subsidised cost, to those struggling in the community who otherwise would not have access. To achieve this we will need financial assistance through fundraising, grants, donations and sponsorship. 

The Trust office is located on a beautiful ten-acre property nestled in Fernside, North Canterbury, New Zealand.
