About us
Soulful Sanctuary (aka SoulSanc!) is a gathering space for people who want to learn, heal, and grow in an emotional and spiritual kind of way. We offer classes and events in collaboration with local healers and teachers, and host our own healing clinics and shares.
We are centrally located off the 280/Saratoga Ave. exit, and offer plenty of parking and creature comforts. We also rent our space to healers and are open to hosting your aligned community-supporting events. We can't wait to meet you!
Love,
Michelle and the SoulSanc Staff

Mina Marmol Peruvian Energy Medicine practitioner
Traditionally, Shamans helped their communities through their own powerful connection with the nature spirits. Their purpose was to serve as a bridge; supporting others in ways that expanded their sense of connection to Spirit. Nowadays, this connection is more relevant than ever.As an experienced Shamanic energy healer, I’m a firm believer in the importance of cultivating our physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. We can all benefit from learning practices awakening our innate wisdom and potential on an individual and community level. Shamanism teaches us how to trust in our connection to our hearts and inner voice.
Discovering our own talents and using them to provide service to others helps us build a stronger sense of connectedness in our own lives that ripples outward to promote more goodwill and harmony in the world.

Spiritual Community Gathering: All Are Welcome
Soulful Sanctuary, 920 Saratoga Ave., Suite 108, San Jose, CA, USPlease join us for our monthly Spiritual Community Gathering. It's exactly what it sounds like- a chance for us to come together and be in the energy that feels good to us, with other people who feel the same way. This is a casual event with no "schedule". You're welcome to stay the whole time, or pop in for ten minutes to say hello.
You're invited to do healing or reading trades, share music/art/books you enjoy, and meet and connect with friends, new and old. We also have a grab bag of interesting spiritual questions that folks can use to stimulate great conversations. Bring yourself and your beautiful energy, and we'll see what comes up.
We get a lot of people at SoulSanc who are new to spirituality, and sometimes don't know what to DO with it, or where to begin. If that's you, welcome! There are people at this event who are happy to witness you, hear your story, and even share their wisdom around any questions you may have.
How is this different from the Energy Share on 2nd Fridays?
Energy share is intended for people who have experience in healing and/or intuitive work, and are able to trade with others who also have that experience. This new Spiritual Community Gathering is different. Yes, you can still do trades- but we're opening up the space to new seekers, to people who are curious, to a broader group. And I am personally setting the intention to talk with people about spirituality and their path, and hopefully have some neat conversations!Contributions graciously accepted to support Soulful Sanctuary.

Male Meditation and Support Team with Houman & Philipp
Soulful Sanctuary, 920 Saratoga Ave., Suite 108, San Jose, CA, USThis series offers a sacred space for men to explore both the foundational benefits of meditation and the deeper esoteric states of the meditative journey. The gatherings are designed as an authentic, lived inquiry.
Core themes that will be shared and passed on:
- Overall spiritual maturity, cultivated through meditation, yielding a variety of spiritual gifts and capacities aligned with one's divine source.
- Near-Death Experiences, similar transformative experiences, and their lasting spiritual impact.
- Studies and insights into the realm of the miraculous, focusing on the direct presence, wisdom, and active intervention of Divine forces.
- Insights from working with telepathic non-verbal individuals and spiritual healers.
- Direct immersion in various traditions and practices of the great mystics.
- Practical insights from living among spiritual surgeons, energy healing practitioners, and mediums.
- Pragmatic spiritual practices that foster direct, transformative Divine encounters (theophanies).
- Encounters with various life-forms and intelligences as these pertain to one's divinity and Creatorship.
Format & Structure
- Phase 1 (Meet & Greet): We will begin with initial meetings (1–2 times per month) as a meet-and-greet to establish affinity and mutual alignment.
- Hybrid Cadence: To accommodate those living further away, every third meeting will be held in person, while others will be hosted online.
- Phase 2 (Closed Group): Once a core cohort is formed communally, enrollment will close for approximately six months. This allows the group to build continuity, trust, and depth over time.
- Supportive Wisdom Teachings & Healing: For participants seeking alternative or complementary healing support or wisdom practices—either alongside our gatherings or independently—we will provide introductions and resources to explore these paths. Often, wayfarers who cross our paths are short-term guests in need of help, and thus these gatherings may simply serve as a form of deeper examination and referral.
Guidelines & Reciprocity
- Privacy: Participants will sign a mutual confidentiality agreement to ensure a safe, private container. To maintain this safe and trusting space, sharing or exposing any participant's personal life, experiences, or expressions on social media or public platforms is strictly prohibited.
- Autonomy & Transformation: All suggested practices are merely invitations with immense possibilities for deep change and transformation. Each participant retains total freedom, personal agency, and full responsibility for their own journey and participation in these spiritual rites. The facilitators are free to introduce spiritual practices under the Freedom of Religion and Expression Act and, therefore, are likewise protected by these same freedoms.
- Contribution: A $35.00 loving gift of donation is suggested for each session—but optional. Participants can also give on a sliding scale given their means and their heart's desire to pass forward the blessings they give and receive.
RSVP / Inquiries: RSVP on Meetup, or contact Houman at lovelifeandsoul@gmail.com.
About the Facilitators
Houman is a philosopher, contemporary monk, and spiritual pilgrim. Driven by early transformative experiences—including childhood encounters with the Divine during wartime and a near-death experience as a teenager—he transitioned from a career in technology to a lifelong immersion in spiritual studies. Beginning with a sabbatical in 2004, he spent years conducting global field research, immersing himself in diverse spiritual traditions, and earning graduate degrees in philosophy and religious studies—all while traveling the world as a contemporary monk. His work bridges healing, spirituality, and the pragmatic practices of history’s mystics, scientists, and philosophers.
Philipp serves as an older spiritual brother and trusted companion. Having crossed paths with Houman through shared pilgrimages and parallel inquiries across academic and spiritual fields for more than twenty years, Philipp brings a rich background spanning the semiconductor industry, indigenous healing modalities, and Christian mystic traditions. The natural synergy and deep trust between Houman and Philipp foster a grounded, safe, and transformative environment for participants.Here you will find some of Houman's professional background, studies, and writings (transformative.me). However, he often stresses that what is given and received in presence—in each other's presence and the Divine presence—which is not in writing, is what is real and contained in the gatherings.
