A Space That Holds More
If You’re Open to It
While the Souljoy Sanctuary is designed for rest and celebration, this space also carries a quiet, deeper intention.
It was created by Stephanie Cime a trauma-informed somatic therapist and artist, who envisioned a sanctuary where not only bodies could rest — but hearts could exhale, and souls could feel safe to soften.
The atmosphere, the artwork, the light, the flow of the house…
Everything subtly supports presence, connection, and inner peace.
This is a home where something shifts — not because you try, but because the space invites you.
You can explore my retreats and work at:
www.souljoy.be
And discover my artwork at:
www.cime.be
Come as you are
Leave more connected — to yourself, to each other, and to what matters most.
We warmly welcome you.
Curious about more?
Souljoy Sanctuary is not only a luxurious place to stay — it’s also the beating heart of a deeper journey.
On select dates, founder Stephanie Schuit hosts transformative retreats and soulful workshops here, combining breathwork, somatic healing, therapeutic yoga, inner child work, creativity, and deep rest.
If something in you is longing for more than just a break — for realignment, release or reconnection — this might be your invitation.
