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!"
Everything about this retreat center is top notch. From the staff to the accommodations one could not ask for more.
Synchronicity offers a place to embrace nature and inner peace in a supportive and friendly environment. The meditation is like none other. In a large room with high ceilings, you engage your headset and hear incredible music with the underlying technology. Rather than conjuring words, think of the lyrics of the Beatles’ hit song, “A Day in the Life” as the type of interesting thoughts that arise as you begin to meditate, often called our “monkey mind.” As your mind calms, think of the final 42-second long chord of that song. Voila! You are there.
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!
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.
