Heyoka Fire Sanctuary Model™

The Heyoka Fire Sanctuary Model is a faith-rooted, trauma-informed housing system designed to restore identity, rebuild structure, and cultivate purposeful community.

Download the Overview

Program

Unlike traditional transitional housing, our model is:

Culturally intentional
Biblically aligned
Lived-experience informed
Designed around dignity, not deficits

We don’t warehouse people.
We restore them.

Core Pillars

Identity Formation

Residents engage in structured sacred development practices, storytelling, reflection, and community accountability to rediscover who they are — and who they are becoming.

Structured Living

We establish clear rhythms of life: morning rituals, communal meals, chore rotations, curfews, wellness benchmarks, and personal development plans.

Structure = safety.
Safety = healing.

Trauma-Informed Care

Our approach blends psychology, biblical principle, and lived experience.

We hold space with clarity, compassion, and conviction — never chaos.

Faith as Foundation

We are openly Christian and guided by scripture.
Residents are not required to practice the faith, but they must respect the culture.

Honesty allows people to choose their environment thoughtfully.
