Founder | Vision | Resident Practitioners

Surreina Gerbman is the founder and steward of Elaruna Sanctuary of Sound & Light — a sanctuary devoted to healing, remembrance, embodiment, and the experiential study of spiritual practice.
For more than 30 years, she has guided individuals and communities through practices that cultivate presence, deepen self-awareness, and support authentic transformation. Her work bridges ancient wisdom and modern life, creating pathways for people to reconnect with themselves, their purpose, and the deeper currents of meaning that shape a well-lived life.
Through Elaruna Sanctuary, she offers classes, ceremonies, trainings, retreats, mentorship, and community experiences designed to support both personal healing and the emergence of soul-led leadership.
Her evolving bodies of work include:
Seasons of Her — a transformational women's journey through archetypal and seasonal gates
Deep Spiritual Studies — experiential teachings that bridge mysticism, embodiment, and grounded integration
Practitioner Trainings & Mentorship — Reiki and Sound Healing pathways for practitioners devoted to authentic, embodied service
Community Ritual & Sound Gatherings — immersive experiences aligned with lunar, seasonal, and ancestral rhythms
Surreina is known for creating spaces that feel both sacred and accessible — where depth is welcomed, authentic connection is nurtured, and transformation is honored as a lifelong journey.
Rooted like an ancient tree and ever evolving through seasons of life, Surreina’s work is shaped by lived experience, devotion, and deep listening.
Her approach weaves together ceremony, embodied movement, sound healing, meditation, nervous system support, and spiritual study — not as separate modalities, but as interconnected pathways of remembrance and transformation.
Much of what she offers has emerged through her own unfolding: through seasons of healing, transition, reclamation, and profound inner listening. This lived relationship with the work allows her to hold space with both depth and grounded compassion.
Whether guiding a sound immersion, seasonal ceremony, retreat, or intimate circle, Surreina creates spaces that invite presence, reflection, embodiment, and authentic connection.
Her work is especially resonant for those navigating periods of awakening, transition, reinvention, and deeper spiritual maturation — particularly women longing to reconnect with their intuition, wisdom, voice, and sense of belonging.
At the center of it all is a simple devotion: creating spaces where people feel safe enough to soften, listen deeply, remember themselves, and become more fully alive.


For over 30 years, Surreina has immersed herself in the study and practice of healing arts, embodiment, meditation, energy medicine, and transformational work — weaving together both intuitive wisdom and grounded therapeutic approaches.
Her professional training includes:
Clinical Hypnotherapy
500-hour Professional Yoga & Meditation
Holy Fire® III Usui Reiki Master
Priestess of the Rose Ceremonial Leadership
Amba Feminine Embodiment Facilitation
Advanced Sound Healing with Gong Avatar Academy
Aroma-Healing Practitioner & Training
Deeply devoted to the power of ritual and rite of passage, Surreina has spent years studying ceremonial traditions and crafting experiences that honor both personal and collective transformation.
At the heart of her work remains a continued devotion to learning, deep listening, and guiding others with integrity, presence, and care.
Elaruna Sanctuary is home to a growing collective of resident practitioners devoted to creating experiences that support healing, embodiment, spiritual growth, and meaningful transformation.
Each practitioner brings their own unique gifts, training, and perspective — offering pathways through modalities such as astrology, breathwork, sound healing, ceremony, women’s circles, cacao rituals, movement, meditation, and energetic healing practices.
Together, these offerings help weave Elaruna into a living sanctuary of remembrance, connection, and community — where diverse teachings and practices are held with depth, integrity, presence, and care.
Whether attending a weekly class, immersive ceremony, healing circle, workshop, or special event, you are invited into spaces designed to nourish the nervous system, awaken inner wisdom, and support the unfolding journey of becoming.








A SPIRIT LED ORIGIN STORY...
She arrived gradually through quiet whispers, embodied knowing, ceremony, and lived experience — revealing herself over time as something to be remembered rather than invented.
What unfolded through years of devoted practice, ceremony, and service, revealed a deeper calling: the creation of a sanctuary devoted not simply to practices, but to remembrance, embodiment, and soul-led becoming.
ELARA — one of Jupiter’s moons, carrying the energy of expansion, awakening, and cosmic remembrance.
LUNA — the moon, speaking to rhythm, intuition, cycles, and the sacred feminine.
RUNE — ancient symbols of wisdom, mystery, and divination — a remembrance of old ways carried forward into modern life.
A sanctuary guided by cycles, resonance, living light, and embodied wisdom.
Elaruna was born from the recognition that sound and light are not merely modalities, but forms of spiritual medicine — intelligent, initiatory, and alive. That true study is experiential. That leadership emerges through embodiment, humility, devotion, and service.
This sanctuary exists in response to a growing longing for spaces where depth, integrity, reverence, and authentic transformation can be held without performance or dogma.
A home for seekers, students, and practitioners who feel called beyond surface-level wellness and into meaningful, lived practice. A place where ceremony remains grounded and alive. Where sound is approached with intelligence and care. Where discomfort is honored as part of transformation. Where remembering becomes a part of the path of becoming.
For those who feel the resonance — who sense an ancient remembering stirring within — this sanctuary offers a place to gather, to study deeply, and to walk the path of embodied awakening together.
