Our Sacred Sanctuary — 7 Temasek Blvd, Singapore 038987

Embodied restoration for busy lives: mindfulness programmes in Singapore

Our Sacred Sanctuary is less a building than a practice that travels. The address on Temasek Boulevard, in Singapore's Suntec Tower One, is for mailing only. Consultations and programmes are held at carefully selected private co-sharing spaces, and each programme names its own venue. The story begins with a person. Founder Sue-Ann Chan spent seven years moving from hyper-achiever to what the house calls a sovereign being. Through mindful embodiment and self-inquiry, she turned chronic illness and burnout into clarity and vitality. Our Sacred Sanctuary was born in 2021 and incorporated in 2024, and its courses and consultations are built from that experience. Its logo is a tree with multi-coloured leaves, beside a crowned dragonfly that stands for transformation and sovereignty. The core of the teaching is Mindfulness-Based Wellbeing Enhancement, a secular eight-week programme accredited by the International Mindfulness Teachers Association. A group of eight to ten people meets for 2.5 hours a week, plus a four-hour retreat. They practise mindfulness walking, eating, standing, moving, sitting and lying down, and a teacher guides an inquiry into what comes up. A weekly pause programme offers a lighter, informal rhythm. After a one-hour workshop in July 2024, one participant wrote in a Google review that it was "not about rational learning, but a whole-body experience." Other work includes Restoring the Self, a one-to-one series, and Before Death Do Us Apart. Sue-Ann also brings two decades of aromatherapy experience and NAHA certification to a line of aromatic body scrubs. From 2024 to 2026 the house has been in a deliberate revamp, open only for selected projects. The founder has spent the time in solitary embodied studies, and the site invites the public to check back in the last quarter of 2026.
