IT DIDN’T
COME FROM A BUSINESS PLAN.
IT CAME FROM HEARTBREAK
THE SAMSĀRA MISSION
At SAMSĀRA Sanctuary, we hold space for those left behind after suicide.
Here, grief is met with gentleness. Through rest, reflection, and guided healing, we help survivors find emotional and spiritual restoration
— and hope for life beyond loss.
Our vision is a world where every person touched by suicide loss is met with compassion, guided support, and faith-rooted hope
— creating pathways from despair to resilience and reconnection.
SAMSĀRA SANCTUARY WAS BORN FROM LOSS — AND BUILT ON LOVE.
After losing multiple loved ones to suicide, founder Elle Fisher realized the world didn’t need another wellness retreat. It needed a quiet refuge for the broken-hearted.
A place to fall apart safely.
A home where rest becomes holy again.
Samsāra isn’t about fixing pain. It’s about giving it room to breathe.
We welcome anyone who’s lost someone to suicide — family, partners, friends — and we hold space for them in faith, nourishment, and quiet grace.
WHY SAMSĀRA
The word Samsāra means rebirth.
It comes from an ancient concept describing life’s endless cycle of loss and renewal — but here, it holds a new, sacred meaning.
To us, Samsāra represents what happens after devastation: the moment the soul begins to rise again.
It’s the return to breath after grief, to light after despair, to faith after forgetting.
We chose the name not to borrow from the past, but to reclaim it —
to remind the world that resurrection doesn’t only belong to scripture.
It belongs to anyone who has survived the unbearable and still wakes up tomorrow.
Samsāra is not about death.
It’s about what comes after — when God rebuilds what grief has undone.
HOLY REST. HOPE REBORN.
THE REBIRTH MARK
The golden emblem that crowns Samsāra Sanctuary is more than a logo. It’s a prayer in motion — a visual hymn to resurrection.
Its circular form reflects eternity — the sacred rhythm of endings becoming beginnings.
The open space within the circle reminds us that grief, like grace, must be allowed to move.
The ascending lines echo the rise of the human spirit — the moment we remember that light still exists beyond the dark.
Gold was chosen intentionally: it represents divine restoration, beauty refined through suffering, and the kind of hope that glows quietly after fire.
We named it The Rebirth Mark — because it doesn’t just symbolize survival. It symbolizes holy return.
A return to peace.
A return to God.
A return to life.
UTAH
A HOME FOR HOLY REST
Utah was chosen for Samsāra Sanctuary not by strategy, but by spirit. Its landscapes — vast, red, sacred — mirror the journey of grief itself: barren in places, breathtaking in others, and always touched by quiet majesty.
This state is more than geography. It’s a metaphor for rebirth. Mountains that hold the weight of heaven. Deserts that teach endurance. Light that changes everything it touches.
Utah’s deep sense of stillness, safety, and open-hearted community make it the perfect soil for our sanctuary — a place where survivors of suicide loss can come to rest, be nourished, and quietly begin again.
It is here, among the mountains and the silence, that Samsāra found its home.
