house of ascend

by Suraya Sam is a sanctuary for remembrance, reclamation, and return—a sacred practice where soul meets body, spirit meets earth, and the cyclical rhythms of the feminine are honoured in every breath. Rooted in ancient wisdom and guided by lunar light, we gather to move, to heal, to rise. Through yoga, ceremonial ritual, sacred womb work, and immersive retreats, we open portals of transformation—soft yet potent, tender yet powerful. Here, you are not asked to become anything. You are simply invited to remember who you’ve always been.

Our Essence & Ethos

  • The body is not separate from the soul—it is the altar, the oracle, the prayer. We return to it, again and again, as home.

  • We honour the rhythms of the moon, the womb, the seasons, and the inner tides. Life is not linear—it moves in spirals, in softness, in cycles.

  • We walk with intention. Every practice is a ceremony. Every moment is a chance to remember the sacred woven into the everyday.

  • We gather not to fix each other, but to witness, hold, and rise together—each person whole, powerful, and sovereign in their own sacred path.

  • We choose stillness over hustle. Space over striving. Nourishment over depletion. Rest is resistance. Rest is remembrance.

  • Our spaces welcome all identities, all genders, all bodies, and all ancestries. We honour the sacred in every being and hold space for each unique expression of soul and self.

Suraya’s Story

This path wasn’t something I planned. It unfolded slowly, like a soft spiral, leading me home one breath at a time.

There was a time I lived far from my body, always doing, striving, holding everything together. But beneath the surface, something ancient was stirring. A quiet longing. A whisper to slow down. To return to the rhythm beneath the rush. To remember a way of being that wasn’t about achievement, but alignment.

It began with movement, learning to feel my breath again, to move not for performance, but for presence. From there, ritual found me. The moon became a teacher. The womb became a temple. Rest became a form of resistance. Healing became a sacred remembering.

House of Ascend was born from this journey, a sanctuary woven from all the threads I’ve walked through: the shedding, the softening, the reclaiming.

I’ve trained in yoga, sacred embodiment, cyclical living, and ceremonial space-holding. But more than anything, it’s life itself—its thresholds, griefs, initiations, and awakenings—that have shaped how I hold space today.

This work is not about fixing or saving. It’s about creating sacred spaces where people can hear their own wisdom again. Where they can rise, not by pushing, but by remembering who they’ve always been.

Whether you are at a threshold, in a season of deep rest, or simply longing to feel more connected to your body and soul, I’m here to walk beside you.

Welcome to House of Ascend.
You are not late. You are not broken. You are right on time.
