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!"
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.
Truly peaceful surroundings, well maintained, comfortable accommodations & excellent cuisine. Lots of veg & gluten free fare – highly recommend
