The Alignment Sanctuary:
What happened to you?
In the world we were born into, something vital was taken from us—our connection to our divine source, our bodies, our ancestors, and the land. We were indoctrinated into systems built on hetero-patriarchal, capitalist, colonialist ideologies that disconnected us from the essence of who we are.
During and after the pandemic, many women felt a rupture—a breaking of the veil that once shielded us from the painful truths of modern civilization. What we once tolerated became unbearable. Something deep within us rose up and declared:
ENOUGH!
Our spirits yearn to reclaim the wild, untamed essence that was stolen. We ache to reconnect with our authentic selves, honor the labor of our hearts and souls, and co-create a life of liberation and abundance—for ourselves, our communities, and all beings on the planet.
If you’re a spiritual person on a path of healing and liberation, the odds are high that you:
- Have tried “it all,” yet still find yourself longing for a true community—a space where kind and grounded people gather to feel safe, supported, and inspired.
- Yearn for a place where you can bring your whole self to the table—the radiant, capable, and creative parts of you, alongside the tender, unsure, or weary pieces that long to be held without judgment.
- Feel a deep, almost unshakable knowing that healing isn’t meant to be a solitary journey but one rooted in connection, reciprocity, and shared humanity.
Struggling with belonging to this world, the dominant culture, and being around Muggles is common when you’re someone who…
- Came into this world carrying profound gifts meant to serve the planet but have felt the weight of systems that fail to recognize or nurture them.
- Found yourself as the “black sheep,” “scapegoat,” or “family glue” in dynamics that shaped your ability to hold space for others, often at your own expense.
- Experienced trauma while growing up in environments that demanded survival instead of allowing you to flourish.
If you feel a part of your body relaxing, unfurling, and a curiosity blooming inside – you are in the right place.
You are not alone, and this village has a place for you.
(On the other hand, if you’re wondering if I’ve been microdosing mushrooms and have no clue what I’m talking about, this is your gentle cue to exit through the gift shop.)
The Myths you were told about healing and being a successful human
We’ve been steeped in cultural myths that disconnect us from our true nature, perpetuated by systems designed to keep us small, compliant, and disconnected. These myths are insidious, showing up in every corner of modern life and whispering lies into our ears.
Here are some of the most harmful stories you might have internalized:
- You need to figure out how to “fix” yourself in isolation to be worthy of happiness and success.
- You can manifest your way into your dream life while ignoring the structural forces that uphold inequity.
- Your body is a problem to be solved, a project to perfect, and you must live as clean and controlled as possible to avoid contamination.
- There’s a rigid timeline for success—be productive, wealthy, youthful, and fit as soon as possible, or risk being left behind. (Oh, and don’t forget to buy the right supplements, programs, or tools to “hack” your way there faster!)
- Youthfulness, thinness, and fitness are the ultimate markers of health and value.
- You should constantly strive to “ascend” into higher vibrations, ignoring the wisdom of shadow work, grief work, and descent.
- Fear is the enemy, and love alone is the solution—forgetting that fear can be a guide, an ally, and a vital tool for survival.
- The world is divided into “us” and “them”—and the only way to change is to fight or shun those who are different.
At their core, these myths strip us of our humanity and connection.
They tell us that we must conform to a system that thrives on disconnection—cutting us off from our bodies, our ancestors, the land, and one another.
But here’s the truth: You are not broken, and you were never meant to carry the weight of healing and thriving all on your own. These myths were crafted by systems that profit from your disconnection. Yeah, you can read that again! PHEW! 🙈
Now for the good news!
There is a sanctuary for women like you—a sacred space where we remember, reconnect, and rewild. In Alignment Sanctuary, you will:
- Decondition from the oppressive systems that shaped your survival personality.
- Reconnect with the possibility of being in relationship with your ancestors, the land, and your divine source.
- Reclaim the wisdom of your body, lived experience, and authentic self.
- Practice co-creating a new, liberatory way of being in the world.
This is a space where women come together to create a parallel path—one rooted in the values of reciprocity, community, and interdependence.

I love my Thursday sessions with the Alignment Sanctuary. It is a safe space for connection with other multi-dimensional and thoughtful women.
Karna shares gentle guidance on how to deepen my self-work and reflect on how that work shows up in all aspects of my life. I am reminded that if I am going through something, someone else in our community is moving through it, too.
We have wisdom and experience to share—and that is the best heart medicine.
- Kendra Sand
Content Strategist, Founder of House of Sand, Creative, and Low-Key Witch
Joining the Alignment Sanctuary feels like coming home.
When I joined this space, I was so frustrated with marketing. I’d spent thousands on support and while I’ve learned a lot throughout the years, I still didn’t feel like I’d found my groove. I knew that this group would help me answer so many of my questions, but I didn’t expect the “how” that I have experienced inside this container. With this group we’re not focused on what the “gurus” say about what kind of content to post and how frequently and where. Instead we’re learning about ourselves, learning to love what makes us unique and inspiring each other to create content, but more importantly a life that is reflective of that. This is my favorite part of Alignment Sanctuary. Being in this space confirmed my intuition about what I needed to do to show up for myself and my business and gave me permission to pursue it.
I am grateful to Karna and this community of amazing people.

Life Decluttering Expert, habit hacker, travel & food lover
I joined The Alignment Sanctuary as I needed some support, when I was about to restart my business. Instead of being all alone in the whole process I now take part in these meetings with this group of women in different ages and life situations. All being open to sharing and listening from the heart.
Every month Karna provides us with a topic that mirrors different parts of life. I experience that her way of being true and vulnerable in her presentations of the topics creates a structure of trust and opens up for an exciting voyage of discovery for us all. I realize we are many sharing similar struggles, and I feel so enriched and warm inside after every time we meet.
In this Sanctuary I am learning to accept my needs and follow the way that feels enjoyable and good for me in my life. It has become a precious, inspiring, strengthening and encouraging meeting-place for me.

One part of the Alignment Sanctuary that I love is Karna!
She’s able to hold a great container for people to share authentically and isn’t afraid to show her own awesome vulnerability. She has a big, bold, caring heart that shines through!!
I always have resonance with the topics she brings forth, and I appreciate her various prompts and exercises that help us go deeper and explore our internal landscape.
- Claire Olivier
Intuitive Guide, Mindfulness teacher, dancer, and ocean lover
What I love about the Alignment Sanctuary is that it feels like a place that doesn’t exist anywhere else. It’s not a business networking group, and it’s not a therapy session. It’s a place where you can explore things you just don’t have the time or space to explore in your hectic life. I look forward to it every time. I say little because the only way to understand it is if you experience it yourself.

What your heart and soul desire IS possible.
Having genuine support in your life changes everything—for the better. I know this because I live and breathe it every day with my clients, friends, and members of this online village.
Now, I want you to have this kind of connection and support! It’s the best feeling in the world to know there’s a safe and validating place you can return to, week after week. A place where you are witnessed and celebrated in your process. A place where you’re never alone on the path. It’s freaking delicious. And you deserve delicious.
You’ve already come so far from where you started. You were never meant to figure out this life thing on your own.
There’s a whole new world we get to create together—a parallel structure rising from the ashes of systems that no longer serve us. In this Alignment Sanctuary we “magic up” together, we get to be our full, wild, and vibrant selves. We take up our rightful space in the world. We attract and cultivate resources, clarity, and joy. We grieve, we laugh, and we straddle the full spectrum of what it means to be a woman, queer, or non-binary person in 2025 on planet Earth—in all its pain, peace, and glory.
What. A. Ride.
I hope I get to sit next to you on the roller coaster. Arms up! Here we gooooooooo! 🎢

- I am a servant of Love and respect and honor the sovereignty of each being in the human and natural world
- I’ve had the good fortune to build relationships with some of the most high-integrity teachers, creatives, and healers in the world, and they come and share their wisdom with us inside the Alignment Sanctuary
- I’ve spent 20 years on my own healing journey and have been in therapy for the majority of this time
- I have facilitated group experiences since 2012
- For 13 years, I’ve supported women-led businesses with marketing & business
- I birthed two children at home and am a dedicated mother to myself and my kids
- I have been in a monogamous hetero marriage for 13 years (I never thought this could be possible!), and we have a growth-oriented partnership I am very proud of
- I lead by example and show up BOTH in my vulnerability and my “weak” moments AND my power and radiance
- I am dedicated to cultivating a safe, generative, and inspiring space for us to explore life beyond patriarchy and late-stage capitalism
- I have an extensive understanding of trauma, the nervous system, codependent and narcissistic dynamics
- I consciously stay away from esoteric language like “ascension,” “5D reality,” “quantum leaping,” and so on, and lean into a body and nature-based understanding of healing to cultivate a simple and accessible way back to our whole selves
I’m kinda freakishly able to give my whole self to the times we share on the live calls, and the women who are part of this space are pure MAGIC.
Now I want to Co-Create the Supportive community I’ve always dreamed of with you!
