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.
To maintain balance and wellness in today’s world it’s renewing to take time out of your usual routines and schedules, and vital for overall wellbeing. Come on a retreat for a couple of days, a week or longer, and change your pace. Forest bathe, take time to recharge, get connected to your creative potential and refresh your life.

Elizabeth Ernst
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!
