Soulcraft: Transforming Loss into Meaning
December 12, 2025
MOONSTONE SANCTUARY
a place for women of every story to pause, explore, and awaken their inner magic.
Step into a space rooted in the rhythms of the earth, sea, and heart — where courage, reflection, and quiet power awaken.
Every woman carries a story, a rhythm, a spark waiting to be remembered. Moonstone Sanctuary is a space for all women — the bold and the quiet, the seekers and nurturers, the visionaries and wallflowers.
Through rituals, reflections, and retreats inspired by nature and spirit, you’ll discover courage that whispers, magic that endures, and a sanctuary within yourself. Step softly, breathe deeply, and remember the strength and magic already within you.
Holistic Practitioner, Melissa Horrell, runs women’s and couple’s retreats from Vancouver Island. Moonstone Sanctuary is the name of her Airbnb and the name of her blog.
