Welcome to the Sanctuary! A spring-time spiritual healing camp run by the Disciples of the Higher Self who, under the careful tutelage of Wiseone Marshall Divine, teach those in need of guidance to learn how to walk with joy in their hearts as they practice mindful living in devotion to all that they love.

This horror LARP runs twice. Once in late July / early August and once on the October Long Weekend. Both runs occur at Thomas Hill House and will follow the activities of a young cult as they run one of their monthly spiritual retreats in the aims of indoctrinating a new group of Disciples so that they will spend freely in the hopes of becoming their Higher Self.

You will choose one of 16 pre-written characters complete with a carefully interwoven history and character ties. You will then work with the Game Master and other players to fully flesh them out.

Each character will have their own struggles, their own needs, and their own desires. Some will run the camp. Some will already be partially indoctrinated. Some will encounter the camp’s indoctrination for the very first time.

This game provides full catering and bunk bed accommodation in an isolated building in the middle of nowhere surrounded by woodland.

Tickets will be available on this web-page on Sunday 16th November at 5PM. Participants can place a $50 deposit to secure their ticket. Each player will then be offered, in order of their ticket purchase, their selection of character.
