Questions
Asked plainly.
Answered plainly.
The work
Is this therapy?
No. The Sanctuary offers facilitation and education — constellation work, intuition training, and somatic practice. It is not psychotherapy or medical treatment, and it does not replace them. Many participants work with a therapist alongside this work; the two go well together. If you are in acute crisis, clinical care comes first — please read Care & Safety.
What is a constellation, actually?
A guided, experiential process in which the dynamics of your family system are made visible — spatially and somatically — rather than talked about. You don’t analyse the pattern; you see it, often for the first time. What was unconscious becomes visible. What is visible can resolve.
Do I need to believe anything for this to work?
No. Bring your skepticism — it is welcome here. The work is experiential: you are never asked to take anyone’s word for what shifts. People of every belief, and none, do this work.
The path
Do I have to do every programme in order?
The sequence matters — it is what makes depth safe. But it is applied with sense, not bureaucracy. Where you enter depends on where you are, and that is decided in a conversation, not by a checkout page.
I've done deep work elsewhere. Do I start over?
Probably not. The preparation requirement has an “or equivalent” clause — and equivalence is a conversation with Ravinder, not a checkbox. Request a Held & Heard conversation and bring your history.
What does “somatic” mean here?
Of the body. Patterns are not only ideas — they live in tissue, breath, and the nervous system. Somatic work lets the body complete and release what insight alone cannot. In the Sanctuary’s words: the body releases what the mind cannot resolve alone.
Practical
Online or in person?
Most programmes are held live, online, from New Delhi, with participants joining across time zones. The Sanctuary Immersive gathers in person. Times and languages are confirmed with each cohort.
What does it cost?
Programme investment varies by depth and format. It is discussed openly in the Held & Heard conversation — no scripts, no pressure — and this page will carry it plainly once upcoming dates are set.
Safety
What if it becomes too intense?
One rule holds in every room: nothing is forced, and you may stop any process at any point. Containers are deliberately small. And if something needs more than the Sanctuary should hold, we will say so — and help you find the right support.
Who is this not for?
Right now, this work is not the right container for acute crisis, recent hospitalisation, or unmanaged psychiatric conditions — clinical care comes first, and the sanctuary will still be here. The full picture is on Care & Safety.
