Enter The Sanctuary

The Sanctuary is a Grove by Australian poet, musician & philosopher Simon J. E. Drew.

The expressed purpose of this grove is to resurrect the lost virtue of Humanitas. In practice, this means gathering together as philosophers and students to explore the pathways that lead to self-knowledge, purpose, meaning and ultimately, Alignment, both as individuals and as a community. 

Members of this Grove are encouraged to attend regular group sessions online and are given access to extra resources that serve the purpose of this grove. 

While entry into this Grove is free, you’ll be given the opportunity to make a one-time, monthly or annual donation which will support the work of Simon and The Sanctuary. Your support is greatly appreciated.
