Blue Lotus Sanctuary
Creating space to reconnect with yourself, through curiosity, reflection and meaningful experiences.
You are welcome here.
About Us
In today's world, there is so much around us constantly competing for our attention. We are also faced with keeping up with life and staying connected to both our internal and external worlds. But sometimes, our internal world takes a lesser priority.As we evolve, we begin to expand our knowing - if we choose to. We gain different perspectives and start to question the ideas we were raised with, the expectations set by society, and the opinions of those who may be on a different journey to us.We begin to explore how we prioritise the responsibilities of our physical world, and how we discern between our inner voice and the external noise of the world around us.Blue Lotus Sanctuary was created as a space to pause, become curious and reconnect with yourself.A place to explore the questions, ideas and experiences that help us understand ourselves more deeply - and, through that understanding, experience life differently. To make decisions from a place of inner knowing, and to move steadily further away from fear.You don't have to arrive with all the answers. You don't have to arrive with anything at all.You simply have to be willing to look - with an open mind and an open heart.
Meet Vanesse
Hello, and welcome.I'm so glad you're here!
I created Blue Lotus Sanctuary for those who are looking - not for an escape, but for a return. A return to yourself, to your own sense of Spirit, God, the Universe - however that resonates for you.
I have always been curious about what it means to be human. From a childhood spent in nature, music and the ocean, to a professional life centred around education, learning and helping people grow - curiosity has always been at the centre of how I move through the world.Having taken many steps in my life that didn’t always make logical sense but felt right in my heart, I’ve had a truly dynamic work life. Today, I work in education and consulting, supporting people and organisations through learning, growth and change.For over eight years now, I have dived deeply into exploring spirituality, ancient wisdom, psychology, philosophy and different religious and spiritual traditions. Alongside this, I have spent years working with tarot and oracle cards as tools for self-reflection, perspective and self-discovery.Blue Lotus brings these interests together.It is my way of creating spaces where we can slow down, become curious, question what we think we know and reconnect with ourselves - without being told who we should be or what we should believe.Stay curious.

BLUE LOTUS ORACLES
Personal Oracle & Tarot ReadingsAn intentional space for reflection, intuition and perspective.
Tarot and oracle cards can be a wonderful way to explore a question, situation or feeling from a different mindset or viewpoint.The cards don't tell you what to do. And they don't promise a fixed future.Instead, they offer perspectives, possibilities and things to consider - sometimes bringing awareness to something you already know somewhere within yourself, but haven't yet been able to see clearly.A reading is not about handing your decisions over to someone else.
It is an opportunity to pause, reflect and listen to what may already be asking for your attention - and making conscious choices with what you've learned.Get in touch to receive more information.
GUIDED JOURNEYS
Guided Journeys are immersive learning experiences created around a particular question, theme or area of self-exploration.Each journey brings together learning, conversation, experiential exercises and personal reflection, creating space to step beyond the familiar, see yourself from a different perspective and explore what you might discover.Groups are intentionally kept small to create an intimate space for meaningful conversation, curiosity and reflection.
UPCOMING LEARNING EXPERIENCE:
BEYOND THE FAMILIAR
Beyond the FamiliarCreating space for navigating uncertainty, staying connected to yourself, and discovering new possibilities.Welcome to this guided journey of self-understanding.We all carry familiar stories, beliefs, patterns and ways of seeing ourselves. But what happens when we begin to question them and look at ourselves, and our lives, from a different perspective?Beyond the Familiar is an invitation to pause, explore the unfamiliar and discover new possibilities. Through learning, reflection and meaningful experiences, we'll explore how we understand ourselves, what shapes the way we see the world, and what might become possible when we're open to a different perspective.You won't be told who you are or given all the answers. Instead, you'll be given space to explore, question and discover what feels meaningful to you.Coming soon:- Self-paced online course:
