welcome to sanctuary retreat center

Relax into Balance, Float in Wellbeing, Awaken to Fulfillment

*Sanctuary pauses retreats during the winter months, but we’re still here to assist with registrations, inquiries, and retreat planning. We look forward to welcoming guests again in March. Thank you to everyone who joined us in 2025—it was a joy to have you visit and replenish your spirit at Sanctuary.

Experience deep renewal at one of Sanctuary Retreat Center’s transformative meditation and holistic wellness retreats, rooted in decades of experience and ancient holistic wisdom.

Located in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Sanctuary’s 120 peaceful acres of woodland and fresh country air invite you to unplug, deeply relax, and reconnect with your innate wisdom and natural state of balance and wholeness.

Join us now at Sanctuary’s tranquil haven where wellness and wellbeing begin.

The Sanctuary Experience

Relax, recharge your energy, reconnect and renew your spirit.

Foodie's Delight

We prepare healthy, mostly vegetarian, Mediterranean style meals with fresh ingredients.

Wellbeing Services

Nurture, Nourish, Balance, Empower. Enjoy Bodywork, Massage, and Mental and Emotional Wellness.

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.
