We all started with a dream & the desire to make an impact.
Hi, I’,m Sunny!
I am the proud Owner and Founder of Divine Sanctuary in the Jungle… a manifestation of my lifelong connection with nature.
Born before the cellphone era, my childhood was filled with the simple joys of playing with frogs in the neighborhood creek, building forts and camping in my backyard, climbing trees, and playing with clay, fostering a deep appreciation for the natural world.
I am a perpetual student of life, studying permaculture, herbalism, and yoga, as a 500-hour RYT (registered yoga teacher). My life purpose became clear at the age of 20, after a transformative experience hiking from coast to coast, from Talamanca to Manuel Antonio in Costa Rica spanning over 23 days. This trip ignited a profound love for the country's majestic landscapes, rich biodiversity, and vibrant people.
This journey planted the seeds for my dream of living in community with friends, nurturing and caring for the land, and cultivating all of our own abundance.
In March 2023, this dream blossomed into reality with the birth of Divine Sanctuary in the Jungle.
I invite you to join us on our journey.
Divinely,
Kathryn “Sunny” Rudnay
Hi, I’m Tijana
I'm Tijana, also known as Tj, I am the Assistant Steward and Head Chef at Divine. I'm a magical being who embarked on my regenerative journey 5-years ago in a small Caribbean permaculture community called Punta Mona. It was there that I found my drive and passion for regenerative living; gaining immense knowledge in Earth care, People care, community care, and my undying love for cacao.
Since leaving Punta Mona, I've established myself as a farm-to-table chef, cooking for various communities and retreats internationally, and serving delicious cacao in various ceremonies. To me, food is medicine; I enjoy nothing more than to nourish others with quality ingredients, harvested with heart, and cooked with love.
Now, here at Divine, I'm excited to be back focusing on my roots in principles of permaculture and grounding down to co-creating a sacred space alongside Sunny. You will undoubtably find me either serving you cacao, teaching you a class in yoga or breath work, farm-to-table cooking, or flipping compost.
Come on down and visit us at the Sanctuary!
Divinely,
Tijana “Tj” Starling
