Hey everyone,
I’m Morris Monroe, the founder of The Queer Heart Sanctuary. My personal journey has been one of deep transformation and growth, and I am dedicated to supporting and guiding others on their paths.

Each program is crafted to address various aspects of personal growth, emotional well-being, and relationship building, ensuring a holistic approach to your development.

Cultural Crisis
Finding our way back into wholeness
In today’s world, many men within the LGBTQI+ culture face significant challenges, including objectification, isolation, and emotional disconnection. The pressure to conform to unrealistic standards of beauty / masculinity, exposure to pornography, the prevalence of chemsex and dysfunctional sexual behaviour, further exacerbate these challenges, leaving many men feeling lost and out of touch with their true selves. These issues often lead to mental health problems, increased risk of addiction, and in the worst cases addiction-related deaths or suicide. With no clear spiritual or holistic growth path to follow, the impact of these disruptions is profound, affecting not only individual lives but also the broader community.
The Queer Heart Sanctuary
For men who are looking to better understand themselves.
The Challenge:
Throughout my healing and spiritual awakening journey, my challenge has been overcoming the barriers and limitations created in the minds of others who are yet to see the freedom that comes with unconditional love. Many healing spaces I came across were not inclusive and I have often been met with ignorance (homophobia / transphobia). I also found patriarchal attitudes relating to masculinity, filter through into spaces where men's works takes place, creating blind-spots over the exploration of the feminine within men.
Inspiration:
The Queer Heart Sanctuary is inspired by the profound journey of founder, Morris Monroe. Over seven years of deep inner work, Morris has guided himself on a path of recovery from sex and drug addiction, drawing from a rich amalgamation of yoga, alchemy, shadow work, personal development, and creativity. His innovative approach to personal growth through a holistic lens of the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual realms serves as the foundation of the program pathways.
His mission to create this platform has been further fueled by the loss of a friend who strove to find healing from the impact of chemsex and sexual abuse, motivating him to create a pathway for others to overcome similar challenges.
About My Journey:
From Separation to Connection
8 years ago I made the decision to unplug from the life that I was experiencing in pursuit of freedom and inner truth.
"I have lived in the shadows and found the guiding light within"
Walking
the Path
The path that I have walked, of post-addiction (and trauma) recovery, has been a radical journey,both internally and externally.
"I hope to help other men find their way back to their hearts."
Passion:
I have always been passionate about love, connection and emotional expression (how we feel). In the past, I sought out these experiences in the best way I knew how; through sex, nightlife and fashion. My journey into sobriety has been focused on finding new ways to engage with life and communicate with others at a deeper level.
I am passionate about human evolution via holistic personal growth and so have created this platform that is built around the pillars of unconditional love and radical self acceptance. By teaching self observations skills, creativity and vulnerability practices, I hope to guide others to a place where they to can enjoy love and deep connection in a whole new way.
