Retreats

We design the experience of our retreats with care, so we do not provide day visits or drop-in Wellbeing Services. A retreat is your time away to reconnect, breathe, restore, and deeply relax. Discover our retreats thoughtfully dreamed up to nurture your being and indulge in the rejuvenating and uplifting energy of the Sanctuary. We have several retreat offerings or gift yourself a Personal Retreat.

Please note: Our 2026 retreat schedule is being developed, and additional retreats will continue to be added over time. Toward the end of January, you can expect to see more listings for the year. The Sanctuary is closed from January through February for the winter season.

What People Say

"I’m so grateful for what I experienced here this week and I can’t wait to come back!"

I’ve had the most amazing and inspirational journey since the moment that I arrived at Synchronicity® Sanctuary. I had no idea what to expect and from the first turn into the gate all that lush green beautiful serene atmosphere just felt magical. If you are looking for a place to rejuvenate and be at peace and find joy, I highly recommend that you come to this very special space. It’s sacred and it’s beautiful and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Thank you to all at Synchronicity 💐
I have been coming to Synchronicity for a few years now. I live in NYC where it’s loud and hectic. When I am at Synchronicity, the peace & quiet allows me to just be, to just relax, to look at my life and heal what needs to be healed on an emotional level!! The staff is Awesome! The Protocols they have available to us are cutting edge!! My favorite parts are helping out in their perfect commercial kitchen, getting a massage & going into the meditation room!! Slip on a set of headphones & be transported 💙
Give yourself a Gift and Go!
You can join a retreat or do your own retreat where you can meditate, read, write, eat well, sleep soundly and have a few great laughs with the team 💙

I think it’s interesting that the energy here at the Sanctuary is always changing. It always is the right energy for me. It’s like the universe is intelligent and we’re all here to evolve, so the energy here is magnified with that intent. When I need a little push, it gives me a little push. When I need a little love, it gives me a little love. It gets everything moving where I need to go. At a more subtle level the experience that I get when I arrive here is a real sense of peace and love and gentleness, something that’s unusual in most of the world today.

This was a most amazing week here – I was unfamiliar with this beautiful Sanctuary until some friends of mine encouraged me to come. And I really can’t praise it highly enough. Everything from the grounds which are absolutely spectacular and serene and peaceful and beautiful to the accommodations which are very comfortable and lovely and welcoming to the amazing food that was prepared for us – so delicious! And such a variety!
