About Sacred Schooling

A life of learning through the world.

Sacred Schooling grew from the life Bronwyn built with her daughter, Nymue: learning through travel, nature, movement, books, community, ceremony, entrepreneurship, healing, and the real questions of being human.

The Story

I’ve spent nearly three decades working with people at the intersection of Asian medicine, awakening, embodiment, and energetic practice. Some come for clinical care. Some come to study or train. Many arrive at a threshold — when something meaningful is shifting, and they want a grounded, skillful way to meet it

Bronwyn's Background

Bronwyn works at the meeting point of mothering, medicine, dance, and awakening.

Licensed acupuncturist. Author. Educator. Reiki teacher since 1998. Mom.

She has spent nearly three decades at the edges of conventional medicine, traditional healing, movement, and consciousness — always asking what it means to raise a fully alive human being. Her work holds space for the child's becoming and the parent's — including the passage of matrescence that reshapes identity, body, and sense of self.

Nymue's Story

Nymue is Bronwyn's daughter and the living proof of this path.

She has grown up learning through the world — and now she teaches younger children what she knows from the inside: movement, embodiment, nature, Reiki, creativity, and the particular courage of growing up outside the usual script.

Embodiment

I am devoted to dance as a sacred practice — one that invites the fuller embodiment of who we are and how we live. As an Axis Syllabus Certified Teacher, I bring a rare depth of anatomical precision and embodied intelligence to this work, weaving together Axis Syllabus, Contact Improvisation, mindfulness, and somatic awareness into a distinct approach to movement and transformation.

 

My work is further informed by extensive study in developmental movement, Chinese medicine, Body-Mind Centring, circus arts, yoga, and Continuum. At the heart of my approach is the inseparable relationship between healing and dance: each deepens and animates the other, becoming a vehicle for empowerment, wholeness, and the nourishment of destiny.

“Working with Bronwyn changed the way I relate to my own healing and intuition. Her guidance is precise, grounded, and deeply compassionate.”

“The Sanctuary community has become a steady place of practice and reflection in my life. It’s rare to find a space this thoughtful and real.”

“Bronwyn brings together clinical clarity and spiritual depth in a way I’ve never experienced anywhere else.”

A Bit More Personal

Originally from South Africa, I’ve lived, worked, and studied internationally, and I read and write Hindi, Hebrew, and Spanish. These experiences shaped my respect for cultural lineages — and for the grounded reality of integrating spiritual practice into everyday life.

I live in Berkeley with my daughter, Nymue. I love dancing, gardening, making pottery, and spending as much time as possible upside-down.
