The Sanctuary You Can Return To.
A regular touchstone for Garden Company and The Mountain Experience alumni who miss the work.
Do you remember what it felt like?
The feeling of being in a room where you didn't have to perform or adapt. Where you could stop making yourself acceptable.
That feeling of your chest opening. Your breath deepening.
Where someone asked "What's it like to be you?" and actually wanted to know.
"It is the one community I can be safe with, I don’t even have to think twice about it anymore. It’s sanctuary."
Steven, Mountain Experience Alumni 1999
How We Do It
The Sanctuary Cohort is that place. Not as a memory. As an ongoing practice.
This is a six-month group process designed for alumni who already know what sanctuary feels like and want to return to it regularly.
You know how your nervous system settles when you're truly safe. You know what it's like to be witnessed without judgement. You know how truth lands when there's real holding.
This is that. Continued.
This is for people who want the long arc. The kind of change that holds.
What you receive:
12 live group calls over six months (twice monthly, 90 minutes each)
Small cohort (10-12 people maximum)
1 private 1:1 session with Kyle Mercer included
Optional WhatsApp community between calls
The same group, deepening together over time (no drop-ins)
Investment: $2,500 for six months
Your presence isn't just about your own growth. You matter to the field. That's how sanctuary works.
“I've been to Therapy. But I just stopped going. Being in a group setting, knowing that I wasn’t the only one out there. It was a really incredible experience. Now when I get upset, I stop and feel what's behind it. It's incredible.”
Etha Grogan
The Sanctuary Cohort isn't a promise that life becomes easy.
It's a promise that you stop fighting yourself.
That clarity returns. Integrity returns. The burden of carrying your life alone begins to fall away.
If you felt something in you exhale while reading this, follow that.
