Before you dive in, a quick note:
Whatever you do… don’t skip the bonus section.
 The Iceland Immersion? It’s SO next-level. 
The Sanctuary is a curated social club for high-level women who love growth — but crave connection beyond the container.
You’ve built programs. You’ve guided clients. You’ve moved entire rooms with your presence.
You know how to hold it all, and you do it damn well.
But when the posture softens and the role fades…
Where do YOU go to be met, not managed?
Enter The Sanctuary Experience
 
    
  
  Monthly Sanctuary Salons
These aren’t coaching calls.
They’re intimate, guided gatherings where we come as women: not titles, not résumés.
Each call is held within a thoughtful structure that invites both depth and leisure — a mix of reflection, conversation, and celebration.
We explore themes like freedom, identity, intimacy, creativity, wealth, travel, and what’s truly alive in our lives right now. These calls often end in laughter...the kind that feels like exhale.
You’re free to share, to listen, or simply to be witnessed in a room where every woman already understands.
 
    
  
  Quarterly Peer-Led Mastermind
These are intentional, high-level business circles designed for strategic exchange.
Each quarter, we gather to bring forward ideas, challenges, and visions in a confidential space where every voice holds weight. Step into a sacred space held by women who lead with excellence. 
There’s no hierarchy. No “expert".
Just sovereign women exchanging clarity, strategy, and insight...at eye level.
You’re not being coached,
you’re being mirrored by women who hold the same standard you do.
 
    
  
  The Sanctuary Annual Gathering
Your Sanctuary experience also includes an exclusive two-day in-person gathering in Montréal during Fall 2026.
An intimate event hosted in the private speakeasy room of the wine club where I’m a member. Think: elevated conversations, special guests, and soul-level connection over exquisite food and atmosphere.
The experience also includes thoughtfully curated moments of embodiment and restoration — such as a private Recess session (sauna + cold plunge) and other refined touches designed to deepen sisterhood and celebration.
(Activities are included; travel and stay are on guests.)
 
    
  
  Confidentiality and Discretion
Who joins remains sacred.
What is shared stays sealed.
This space is built on trust, and that trust is protected at all costs.
 
No recording. No “client wins" posts.
No exposure of who joins this space.
 
Only true, private connection among women who walk with integrity.
✦ The Exclusive Thread
Between calls, a discreet and elegant space for genuine conversation — nothing pushy, no noise, just proximity that feels personal.
✦ Private Onboarding
You’re not dropped into a group.
You’re placed with care — through a 1:1 onboarding that ensures you enter the space with clarity, grounding, and intention.
✦ THE SANCTUARY FOUNDERS BONUS ✦
Eternal Light
The Solstice Immersion in Iceland
This is the part where you wonder if I’m serious…
Because for the first 8 women saying yes to The Sanctuary 2026, I’m gifting something absolutely unreal.
You’re not just joining a private social club for powerful feminine leaders.
You’re also invited into an Icelandic dream next summer.
Picture this:
- A women-led Solstice ritual under the midnight sun,
- Luxury living among geysers and waterfalls,
- Icelandic storytellers, sacred surprises, and the kind of atmosphere that makes your soul exhale and feel so alive.
Your stay, your experiences, your curated magic — ALL INCLUDED. A bit crazy, I know...but why not?
I feel called to make you discover this country that has been life-changing for me every time I’ve been there.
You only book your flight and bring your suitcase.
Eternal Light isn't just a retreat, it's a remembrance.
A reminder that when powerful women gather, their light multiplies and the bridges between power, presence, and connection come alive.
Limited to 8 first founding women.

About Véronique Carignan
With a Master’s degree (M.Sc.) in psychoeducation and over a decade of experience in emotional intelligence, leadership, and entrepreneurship, I have built, sold, and invested in multiple companies — from fashion to coaching to tech — generating over $1M across ventures.
I know the reality of leading, creating, and mothering all at once. And I’ve been in every kind of room: the boardrooms, the masterminds, the circles. And I realized most spaces for women fall into two extremes:
too strategic or hierarchic to feel safe and seen, or too unstructured to hold depth.
That’s why I created Femme Arise, a world where women who lead can meet as equals...structured, intentional, and deeply human.
❝
Coaching will always be part of me...but curation? That’s where the magic happens.
I built The Sanctuary for the women who usually hold everyone else — the ones who deserve to finally feel held, too.
We don’t come here to learn.
We come to breathe, to connect, and to expand just by being in the right room.
My favorite part? Watching what happens when the right women find each other.
