I was recently a retreat participant with a group that rented Sanctuary Retreat Center. The Center is pretty amazing … the beautiful setting in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, some trails to walk around in the woods and sit by the small lake, saw several deer in the early mornings and a couple of Canadian geese enjoying the lake along with me. The hosts were gracious and welcoming whether in the dining area or the group meditations or helping get settled in to the comfortable accommodations. The food was wonderful— and healthy. And as much or as little as one may want to check out the various wellness and meditative resources … there is much to explore and to receive. I look forward to future stays there, whether w another retreat or traveling in the area.

Nestled on acres of beautiful woodland, this retreat center is a little secret (not for long I hope) gem. The accommodations are simple but very comfortable and clean and the food is fabulous. There is a lot to choose from whether you are a vegetarian or not.
I tremendously enjoyed my walks in the woods, passing many of the little goddesses shrines along the way. Sweet moments of reflection and stillness.
A special note about the staff: they are amazing. Don’t think I have ever experienced nicer and more accommodating personnel at any other retreat.
I am so excited to be returning to Sanctuary Retreat Center in a few month and experience a different season and try some of their offered treatments.

My time at the Sanctuary Retreat Center was Wonderful! It is a beautiful peaceful place in the Blue Ridge mountains, a healing and magical range. The morning meditation was a wonderful addition to the breath, body, and sound retreat I attended.💖 The staff, food, and accommodations were great! My life is enriched from my experience there, I am very grateful!

Beautiful forest land with trails, outstanding food and staff with comfortable, clean lodging. I am so so happy to be here 3 more times this year because it us my favorite retreat center.
