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!"
I enjoyed meeting everyone at Sanctuary Retreat Center. The meditation sessions were great, the meals were wonderful and the hiking paths in the beautiful, mountainous setting were soothing to my mind and soul. Thank you for an incredible experience.

I was recently a retreat participant with a group that rented Sanctuary Retreat Center. The Center is pretty amazing … the beautiful setting in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, some trails to walk around in the woods and sit by the small lake, saw several deer in the early mornings and a couple of Canadian geese enjoying the lake along with me. The hosts were gracious and welcoming whether in the dining area or the group meditations or helping get settled in to the comfortable accommodations. The food was wonderful— and healthy. And as much or as little as one may want to check out the various wellness and meditative resources … there is much to explore and to receive. I look forward to future stays there, whether w another retreat or traveling in the area.

The Sanctuary is Mother Nature at its best, humankind at its best, spacious and everlasting. I arrived at the airport, drove here, felt a little different, and when I get on the property it’s nothing like anything I’ve experienced before. It’s a very sweet, loving energy. I feel at home and safe and loved.
