om actions
changed my life in every single facet
- literally,” she says. “Most of my life I
struggled with obesity and diabetes and was
living a completely different lifestyle with a
mindset quite different from today. It was
not until 11 years ago when I embarked on a
path of conscious living that I truly felt happy
and comfortable in my own mind, body and
spirit. The change was on a cellular level.”
A key part of this healing journey was
an appreciation of mindfulness, now an
increasingly popular and accessible tool in
the west for people to manage stress levels
and remain calm and balanced.
“Mindfulness is vigilant awareness of being
in the present moment. So often we live in
the past and future and, do you know what
exists there? Suffering. Being aware is living
in the moment, and that’s the only place that
exists. It’s really about savouring the present
moment - the now.”
Certainly, the centre’s magnificent garden
offers a real sanctuary for city dwellers, and
the chance to reconnect with the natural
world. It includes a multi-use private lawn
area for meditations, yoga events and
conscious cinema screenings.
The luxury destination also includes Flow,
TSSM’s signature boutique, showcasing
exclusive jewellery, crystals, fitness apparel,
books, art, and more, to entice visitors to
bring the sacred home.
It’s a grand and impressive project, though
the owners clearly have more big plans for
the future, including the addition of a small
boutique hotel on the campus for people
attending retreats and the visiting mindful
community.
“I want the Sacred Space Miami to be
a go-to epicentre for personal growth,
introducing the technology of awareness
going into a holistic, integrative approach,”
says Dascal. “The mindful community
around the world – and in Miami – is
rapidly growing. There is always room for
mindfulness and The Sacred Space is poised
for growth and expansion along with our
growing community.”

“The whole concept is
the result of Dascal’s
own transformative
journey and lifelong
battle with anxiety,
depression and diabetes.”
