SACRED WILD SANCTUARY
Sacred Wild Sanctuary is an online community space to connect, practice, and awaken – together.
We welcome anyone dedicated to discovering, embodying, and expressing their true nature through nondual spiritual teachings, earth-based wisdom, and the transformative practices of meditation and inquiry.
Together, we practice and cultivate enduring, ever-deepening presence, joy, clarity, and ease in daily life, while remaining authentically connected to ourselves, each other, and the natural world.
Join us to awaken, embody, and express your true nature — in our circle, in your life, and in the world.
Our community was born from the profound experience of our last retreat, co-created with everyone who was there. The power of our shared circle and practice deeply moved us all. I have no doubt that the Medicine Buddha, the redwoods, and our community set this in motion, with a mission to create a space to continue gathering, practicing, and growing in community with all of you in heart and mind and with an invitation to others who weren’t on retreat to join us in this practice space as well.

WHAT’S INCLUDED
WHEN YOU JOIN
SACRED WILD SANCTUARY
Our community spaces are designed to support your healing, growth, and transformation with opportunities to learn from a variety of teachers and multiple ways to practice together.
The Heart of the Circle
A COMMUNITY SPACE FOR WISDOM. LOVE. TRUTH. BEAUTY.
Share and engage with the insights, questions, and inspirations that move you! This space is dedicated to community discussions and connections, where all voices are welcome and everyone’s wisdom is valued.
Guided by monthly themes that bring depth and focus to our shared journey, The Heart of the Circle includes three sharing prompts each week to support a daily rhythm of setting intentions, exploring practice, attuning to nature, and reflecting at week’s end — inviting each of us to bring more presence, clarity, balance, and joy into our daily lives. Here, we awaken together, with and for each other.
Weekly Practice with Joryu Myosei & Guests – Live with Replays
HEALING, GROWTH, & TRANSFORMATION, ONE MONTH AT A TIME
Join us in this ongoing, illuminating weekly practice series, where Myosei guides us in cultivating quiet minds, embodied presence, and strong, wise, open hearts, in community.
Each month, we explore themes designed to help us embrace and embody the qualities of bodhicitta — radiant mind and awakened heart — in our daily lives, work, and relationships. Our journey unfolds through a thoughtful progression that includes Dharma talks, meditation, experiential inquiry, Q&A, guest teacher offerings, and time for reflection, integration, and sharing within the group. As we deepen in both individual and collective practices throughout the year, we weave each essential quality of bodhicitta into our hearts and lives, creating the conditions for profound transformation along the way.
Monthly Practice with Riyaz Motan – Live with Replays
DISCOVER, EMBODY, & EXPRESS YOUR TRUE NATURE
This monthly group is an opportunity to meet and connect in sacred circle. Many of us on spiritual paths can often feel lonely or isolated, and we long to live and relate with others on a deeper dimension. This group offers a space to connect with others who share in the sacred and vulnerable intention to embody and express our essential nature. In this shared field of presence we are invited into our depths, and learn and practice to relate from this depth. On this path of spiritual maturation, we discover more of what is true and essential, and learn to let of of what is no longer true or needed.
Come join us, make some spiritual friends, and connect and share in the wisdom, joy and vulnerability of this amazing and precious human journey.
The Tea with Joryu Myosei – Live with Replays
A WEEKLY Q&A ON SPIRITUAL TRUTH, PRACTICE, & WALKING OUR PATHS IN DAILY LIFE
Join Myosei each week to savor a warm cup of tea as meditation, inviting us to pause and ground ourselves in the present moment. During our time together, we’ll explore spiritual truths, practice and daily life questions, steeping in discussions that nurture both insight and connection. Whether you're here for quiet contemplation or shared exploration, The Tea offers a welcoming space to deepen into our wisdom and compassion, one sip at a time. Bring your favorite brew and an open heart!

Spiritual Jazz
TWO FRIENDS, ONE INTENTION, ENDLESS FLOW
In this dynamic and spontaneous series, two spiritual friends, Riyaz and Myosei, come together to explore a spiritual topic that’s alive for them in the moment. Much like jazz musicians, they improvise and play off each other's insights, weaving together fresh perspectives and timeless wisdom. Each conversation is an open, flowing dialogue, filled with curiosity, reflection, and a shared passion for discovering and expressing our true nature in daily life.
