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.
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.

What People Say
"I’m so grateful for what I experienced here this week and I can’t wait to come back!"
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!
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!
The Sancutary is a gem. Everything about our visit was flawless. The property is in a beautiful setting and has been freshly rennovated. The rooms were comfortable and the food was delicious and healthy. The working staff are residents of the community and went above and beyond to be sure everyone in our group had what we needed. There was a great vibe from start to finish. Thumbs up!
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.
