It is with great relief that I announce the closure of Sacred Social House at the end of April 2026.

The word relief might come as a shock to some, unless you’ve also owned a brick and mortar small business in these trying times, especially with the rising cost of practically everything. But in full transparency, 2025 was our worst year to date financially, after a string of really challenging years personally. I fought tooth and nail to keep this place going, and it swallowed me whole.

I have prepared myself for this moment so many times and every other time, I felt a deep sense of sadness and grief and ultimately the refusal of acceptance. This place has been such an important catalyst for my growth as a teacher, facilitator, leader, and compassionate human. More importantly I have had the great priveledge of  being a guide and witness to many client transformations here - which I will always be in awe of.  Some of you have even called this place your home away from home. That and the fact that so many other sacred places are disappearing - one after another - is what kept me fighting for this space for so long. I didnt want anyone to lose possibly the only place they ever felt fully seen. 

As I prepared myself this time - something felt different.

It was a surrender. An exhale I’ve been holding in for years. A weight lifted off my shoulders. It’s bittersweet, but the moment I committed to the decision, something shifted. The sky felt bluer. My heart felt more open. I felt a sense of clarity that I havent felt in a long time. That’s when I knew it was right. 

I’ve felt this overdue exhale before. After I finally released my grip on a marriage​ that wasn’t working for years. Following the release of my soul dog at the end of his life, after a year of literally no sleep staying up with him through the nights, afraid he would hurt himself. And now, in letting go of this space. I can admit that I have a problem with holding on to things well past their expiration date. 

Today I graduate from a lesson I’ve been repeating throughout my life. The refusal to let go. The holding on, waiting for things to get better. The gripping. Because every time, it has taken me to the deepest, most uncomfortable parts of myself, to the verge of losing myself completely. 

This time I’ve been riding the chaos rollercoaster of “we had a great month, we’re back,” followed by “we made almost no profit for two months, bills are late, overdrafted again.” If you’ve been here before, you can’t forget that gut-punch feeling. It’s a vicious cycle, and it really does something to your mind and your confidence.

I’m freeing myself. I’m breaking that pattern.

This transition is scary, and I don’t fully know what the next steps look like yet. What I do know is that I’m not done. I plan to continue offering workshops, and I may already have an established location or two willing to open their doors. In the meantime, I’ll be transitioning my cozy finished basement into a more intimate healing space for 1:1 clients as I find the right next place to call my home away from home.

I’ll also be focusing my energy on growing VOLT Alchemy and bringing all of my offerings into one streamlined space - https://www.voltalchemy.com/ . This will be where everything lives moving forward, a place to stay connected and to purchase e-gift cards for future 1:1 services, workshops, and trainings as this next chapter unfolds. 

If you feel called to support me during this transition, it would be such great relief to my childern and I in these uncertain times.

You Can:

• Purchase e-gift cards to use for future 1:1 services, workshops, and trainings here: https://www.voltalchemy.com/store

• Shop retail as I run a closing sale - Date and time to be announced soon

• Purchase studio items and furniture (retail shelving, vibroacoustic sound bed, lightly used iPad, and more) - also available at the closing sale or reach out to me to claim ahead of time.

• Or send a donation via Venmo (that one was uncomfortable to type, lol) https://venmo.com/u/Jrethage

Thank you for being part of Sacred Social House. Truly.

This isn’t an ending. It’s an evolution.

With gratitude,
Jamie
