What I would say to people who either can’t find the time to come on a retreat, I would say the same thing about meditation. You need to set aside some time each day to meditate; you need to set some time each year to attend a retreat.

Sanctuary Retreat Center is a wonderful place to step away from the stress of life to restore your spirit. The rooms are simply and beautifully appointed. The environment is heavenly in the Shenandoah mountains. It’s even lovely in the rain!
Jim’s food is Delightful and Delicious. Meals were fresh and colorful, prepared with love.
The staff could not have been more friendly or accommodating.
If you are craving multidimensional wellness services, This is The place!
Meditation your thing? Try this center’s high tech meditation space. You will not be disappointed.
I came for a four day workshop and spent an extra day. Truly did not want to leave.
Thank you All for a profoundly restorative experience. Happy New Year 2025 🥳

I’m grateful to have found Synchronicity and The Sanctuary. This has been an amazing experience in this magical enchanted forest with fine nourishing food, spaces to meditate and reflect and just the whole ambience of the place is so nurturing so that I may bring my best self forward in the world because everyone at Synchronicity has brought their best selves forward for me. I feel so grateful and blessed, thank you.

The environment here at the Sanctuary is just beautiful. I often come in the Fall just because I love to see the change of seasons. The walk through the woods from the Sanctuary Lodge to where all the buildings are is probably my favorite along with walking the mountain. Just the naturalness, hearing the leaves falling, the peace!
