About the Order of San Sau
Our Philosophy
The Order of San Sau are women from every part of the world, from many traditions. Women who are dedicated and willing to take responsibility to embody the Divine Energy of Mother Omega, Sophia, Christ consciousness and the Buddha Nature in our everyday lives; being consciously aware that every breath, every thought and every action can and must be performed in a sacred manner.
We begin each day living the reality of our ancestors that "all life is sacred." We invite all who feel this call to practice balancing the human family with us.
We believe that Truth and Reality are the basis of all belief systems. Our practice honors the Divine Energy that flows through all creation.
We recognize that women leaders embody the Divine Feminine energy necessary for healing and transformation in our world. Our community is unapologetically women-led, honoring the sacred role of feminine wisdom in spiritual leadership.
Through meditation, land stewardship, and community practice, we cultivate the heart's capacity for unconditional love, justice, and spiritual awakening.

Our Values
Unconditional Love & Justice
We lead with love while standing firmly for inner balance, justice and Truth. Our practice integrates compassion with accountability, recognizing that true love demands justice.
Internal Victory
External peace begins with internal transformation and healing. We commit to the inner work necessary for personal and collective liberation.
Discipline & Endurance
Spiritual growth requires commitment, practice, and perseverance. We honor the discipline needed for sustained transformation.
Healing in All We Do
Every action, breath, and thought can be performed in a sacred manner. We bring healing intention to all aspects of life.
Devotion to Life & Love
We honor the sacredness of all life and the power of love as the ultimate transformative force in the universe.
The Sacred Land
We gather on Delley land.....in Unionville, Louisiana - sacred ground that holds the wisdom and energy of generations. This land is not merely property; it is a living teacher, a sacred space for ceremony, meditation, and ecological restoration.
The land is open by invitation for spiritual and educational purposes, honoring its sacred nature and the protocols necessary for respectful engagement.
Who We Welcome
We welcome all who are aligned with our values of unconditional love, balance, justice, and respect for all life. Our community is a space for those ready to do the internal work of personal ascension while contributing to collective healing.
Important: We do not support codependency, trauma bonding, colonial and patriarchal behaviors. Those with issues about women leaders may not find this an appropriate space for spiritual journeys.
If you are ready to honor the sacred, embrace women's leadership, and commit to both personal and ecological healing, we invite you to explore what the Order of San Sau offers.
