I found exactly what I wanted in a Personal Retreat at The Sanctuary. The staff were friendly and happy to give me as much or as little attention as I desired. A tranquil, low pressure, beautiful place to spend time alone.

This mystical retreat center nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains was the perfect setting for a 4-day Body, Breath and Sound retreat I attended in March. We were graciously and warmly welcomed upon arrival and every member of the staff were kind, caring and attentive to our needs and comfort. The food was delicious, nourishing and abundant, with vegan and vegetarian options at every meal. I loved walking the magical footpaths and hills, dotted with images of the Divine Feminine. There were optional massage and wellness sessions available, as well as daily a.m. meditation. I truly felt and appreciated the palpable intentional vibrations of healing and support that emanate from the Sanctuary Retreat Center. I am looking forward to returning again. My sincere thanks to everyone who made this experience so wonderful!

I thoroughly enjoyed the mini-retreat with Susan Tate and it was made more special because of the Sanctuary Retreat Center’s beauty.  I especially loved the second place where we met which was below the dining room.   The meditation hall also has such a beautiful energy.  Unfortunately I could not stay for dinner, but the smells emanating from the kitchen were mouth-watering.  Lastly, I loved all of the lighting, especially the different colors, that came on as it became dark.

As global retreat facilitators, we are highly selective in where we bring our retreats. Sanctuary Retreat Center sets a high bar for creating an environment that supports being on retreat. The Center itself is on a beautiful rolling and wooded piece of property in the Shenandoah foothills. You can immediately feel the vibration of this place on arrival. From the kindness and care of the staff to the nourishing food to the meditations and healing services offered, I would call this place impeccable in its ability to support heart-centered retreats. We love this place so much that we have seven weekend’s of retreats scheduled already for next year! Whether you go for a personal weekend or join in on a retreat, you will walk away restored, deeply peaceful and nourished. A deep bow of gratitude to the amazing staff at Sanctuary!
