Inner Infant Sanctuary

Before the World Told You Who to BE
Before You Had Words, You Had Needs
Before you had memories, language, or even breath — you had needs.
They were primal. Fundamental. Very Young. Sacred.
Woven into your cells and nervous system.
Forming the foundation of who you would become.
When those longings get triggered—they are the very catalyst to your spiritual awakening and evolution.
This is more than a support group—it’s a space to gently tend to the unmet needs from your earliest beginnings.
So many of us grew up feeling unseen, unsupported, or disconnected. The ache of belonging, of safety, of truly mattering… still lingers.
You’ve probably done the therapy.
You read the books.
You worked on yourself so much.
And yet…
That ache is still there.
The ache of not quite belonging
The loneliness of always shrinking yourself
The fear that if people really knew you, you’d be too much
The exhaustion of abandoning yourself over and over
This is the wound of early beginnings and unmet needs — the one that started before you had words. When no one came. When no one showed up. When the love and safety you needed never arrived.
The real trauma isn't so much what happened but that no one showed up for you when it did.
The Inner Infant Sanctuary is where we change that.

Who This Is For:
This circle is for the Soulful Seekers and the Sacred Misfits:
The ones who experienced developmental (pre-verbal), birth and attachment trauma, oppressive parenting, neglect and relinquishment.
The ones who feel ungrounded, even after years of inner work
The ones who feel isolated, misunderstood, and distrustful of life
The ones who secretly long to be seen, held, welcomed — just as they are
If that’s you… you belong here.

Each gathering will follow a consistent flow:
5 minute grounding
10 minute check-in
15 minute group exploration & discussion
30 minute guided inner process
15 minute integration, sharing & reflective statements
Closing reflection, prayer or poem

A space to speak your truth without fear of rejection
Embodied practices — somatic therapy, neuroaffective touch, and family constellations.
Each week will focus on a different inner pattern or “part” of ourselves (for example: the Chameleon, the Protector, the Invisible One), giving us a way to gently explore the deeper roots of feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed.
This space is for people who are ready to go beyond surface-level conversation and actually meet what has been unmet beneath the surface for a long time with a "surrogate family" they never had.
Themes that meet your deepest longings — safety, trust, love, connection, self-expression, belonging etc...

We gather together in the comfort of your own home creating a sanctuary where you can:
Be seen
Be held
Be welcomed
Belong

Why This Matters

You’ve been told your whole life to shrink yourself and who to be to fit in.
But true belonging doesn’t come from shrinking, it comes from expanding into who you really are.
When you enter the Inner Infant Sanctuary, you’ll begin to…

Feel safer in your body
Trust life more deeply
Express yourself without apology
Rewrite your earliest beginnings with love
Finally come home to yourself
If you don’t tend to these unmet needs… they stay.
The triggers.
The self-abandonment.
The loneliness.
The fear of being truly known.
You’ll keep carrying what was never yours to hold.
But when you step into this sanctuary, you begin to create new neural pathways of safety, connection, and trust. You don’t just think about healing… you experience it.

Your Facilitator - Julia Sahalie

I’ve walked this path too.
I know the ache of never feeling quite at home, in family, in community, in my own skin.
Through years of therapy, reading a gazillion books, years of trainings, hypnotherapy and somatic sessions, narcissistic abuse, womb surrounds, daily practices and meditations, I’ve found the practices that bring us back to our essence. Not fixing. Not forcing. Just remembering.
I jumped off the self-improvement band wagon and it made all the difference.
And now I hold this soft place for you.
You don’t have to walk this path alone. This is your invitation to come home to yourself, and to a community that sees you. Where your inner infant can show up raw, messy and vulnerable. The atmosphere will be deep and nurturing while also safe, messy and playful.

With warmth,

Julia Sahalie
