The Sanctuary is the membership community at the center of everything we do here, and membership is how you stay connected no matter where you live.
For $30 per year, members get access to the Employment Support Group, which meets every Friday evening from 6:00 to 7:30 PM on Microsoft Teams. Open to anyone, anywhere. Members also get access to the Sanctuary Minecraft server — a moderated, low-chaos environment built specifically for neurodivergent adults and families — and members-only support groups.
Local to Salem? Membership is how you get notified about in-person meetups, local events, and activities as they come up. The monthly in-person meetup happens on the last Friday of each month. Everything local goes to members first.
Membership is the single best way to stay connected to this community and to support the work directly.
This is the one that has been in the works for a while, and it is finally here.
Basecamp NW is the outdoor regulation programming branch of Neurodiverse Inclusive Solutions. The outdoors is one of the most effective regulation environments available. Not a therapy program. Not a social skills class. Just getting neurodivergent people outside and doing things that help the nervous system settle.
Programming includes guided regulation day experiences, structured group outings, hiking, camping, and NRA-certified firearms safety and marksmanship instruction. Firearm handling requires sustained focus, breath control, and physical stillness. For a lot of neurodivergent people it turns out to be one of the better regulation tools available.
The Women on Target event was the first activity under the Basecamp NW banner, and it will not be the last. We are building out a full calendar of regulation-focused outdoor activities and this is just the beginning.
Basecamp NW is local to the Salem area. When you book any class or outing, you automatically become a Basecamp NW member with access to the full programming calendar as it grows.
On May 23rd, I facilitated Building a Life That Works for Your Brain with the UO Neurodiversity Alliance in Eugene. The session covered regulation language, masking costs, burnout in academic and workplace environments, and a practical framework for identifying what your nervous system actually needs to function sustainably.
The group included late-diagnosed students, STEM majors, and graduate students — people navigating real pressure in environments that were not built for how they work. The conversation went deep. Participants shared openly, engagement was strong, and the session closed with an introduction to The Self-Regulation Blueprint.
If your campus group, student organization, or university program is looking for a speaker who brings lived experience, practical frameworks, and real conversation — not a lecture — this is what that looks like.
Written for neurodivergent people building regulation systems that hold up in real life, not just ideal conditions. Practical, structured, and grounded in lived experience. Available now on Amazon.
One of the bigger goals behind everything we do is creating a permanent, sensory-inclusive community space in Salem called The Nest. A place where neurodivergent individuals, families, and providers can access services, community, and support in an environment actually designed for how we function.
We are still in active development. The conversations are happening and the vision is clear. What we need is the community behind it.
The best way to support The Nest and everything we are building is through membership. Every membership directly funds the infrastructure that makes all of this possible. There are also additional ways to contribute if you want to go further.
