Team Sanctuary Map

Team Sanctuary Map: Building Psychological Safety & Team Culture

This template uses the metaphor of a temple to help teams establish a psychologically safe environment where trust, collaboration, and innovation can thrive.

The Team Sanctuary Map guides participants through exploring eight key areas of team dynamics: vision, purpose, energy, strength, experience, team bonds, current position, and next steps. By visually structuring these elements as parts of a temple, teams create a holistic understanding of their identity and potential.

Perfect for:

- Newly formed teams establishing their culture

- Teams recovering from conflicts or organizational changes

- Leaders wanting to build deeper trust and psychological safety

- Cross-functional teams seeking stronger collaboration patterns

The 90-minute facilitated process helps teams move beyond surface-level interactions to meaningful connections, shared purpose, and aligned action. The temple structure creates a powerful visual metaphor - from the foundation of past achievements to the vision at the pinnacle, supported by the pillars of team strengths and connections.

Transform your team dynamics from uncertainty to trust, from disconnection to cohesion, and from confusion to clarity with this structured, visual approach to team development.
