The Place

Embodiment of a living classroom, a place where education meets empowerment. A community sanctuary where you can restore balance, deepen awareness, and reconnect with your natural vitality

What we do

Community Outreach

Sanctuary by EIIHS builds practical bridges with educators, healthcare providers, and civic organisations to strengthen the wellbeing of those who serve. We offer a calm, supportive setting for renewal and reflection, alongside usable tools for daily practice. Through partnerships with schools, workplaces, and professional networks, Sanctuary becomes a place where people who give so much to their communities can also receive support and replenishment. Here are our weekly recurring services as well as our path of nutrition, path of renewal and path of learning events and activities
