The Community Sanctuary
A free place to slow down
Not every part of a wellness center should have a price on it. The Community Sanctuary will be our tea lounge, library and quiet room — open to anyone, whether or not you ever book a class.
In progress
The library and tea lounge are still taking shape. Come hang out and be a part of the transformation of this area into a space where community comes together.
Why it exists
Most people in Fort Myers have somewhere to work and somewhere to sleep, and very little in between that doesn't expect them to spend money.
The Sanctuary is our answer to that. Come before a class to arrive properly, stay after one so the session lands, or come only for this and never book anything at all. That's a completely fine way to use us.
House guidelines
How the room works
Free, always
No purchase, no membership, no appointment. The tea is on us and so is the chair.
Keep it quiet
Conversation is welcome at a low volume. Calls and speaker audio belong outside.
Borrow a book
The library runs on trust. Take one, bring it back, or leave one you loved.
Stay as long as you like
Read, journal, nap, wait out a rainstorm. Nobody will ask you to move along.
What's coming
Tea, books and a soft couch
- A tea service with a rotating selection of loose-leaf blends.
- A lending library of books on wellness, movement, sound, herbalism and rest.
- Quiet seating — starting with the big blue couch, already here and waiting.
- Community notices about workshops, series and gatherings happening in the center.
