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 Personal Retreat at Sanctuary Retreat Center is truly one of the most amazing and spiritually fulfilling weekends I’ve had in such a long time. I felt supported and cared for from the moment I showed up. Everyone there was genuinely interested in my meditation journey and how they could help me deepen and strengthen my practice. It’s become my happy place and I can’t wait to return there!

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.

Nestled on acres of beautiful woodland, this retreat center is a little secret (not for long I hope) gem. The accommodations are simple but very comfortable and clean and the food is fabulous. There is a lot to choose from whether you are a vegetarian or not.
I tremendously enjoyed my walks in the woods, passing many of the little goddesses shrines along the way. Sweet moments of reflection and stillness.
A special note about the staff: they are amazing. Don’t think I have ever experienced nicer and more accommodating personnel at any other retreat.
I am so excited to be returning to Sanctuary Retreat Center in a few month and experience a different season and try some of their offered treatments.
