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 Sanctuary Retreat Center is an amazingly serene and lovely place to spend some time. I thoroughly enjoyed it and the staff was extremely attentive to our needs, including providing three delicious meals daily. I can’t wait for the next retreat there!!
Joe Martindale
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.
Jennifer Rosenberg
I found exactly what I wanted in a Personal Retreat at The Sanctuary. The staff were friendly and happy to give me as much or as little attention as I desired. A tranquil, low pressure, beautiful place to spend time alone.

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.
