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
Everything about this retreat center is top notch. From the staff to the accommodations one could not ask for more.
Chris Sluss
I thoroughly enjoyed the mini-retreat with Susan Tate and it was made more special because of the Sanctuary Retreat Center’s beauty. I especially loved the second place where we met which was below the dining room. The meditation hall also has such a beautiful energy. Unfortunately I could not stay for dinner, but the smells emanating from the kitchen were mouth-watering. Lastly, I loved all of the lighting, especially the different colors, that came on as it became dark.
Phyllis Savides
I’ve had the most amazing and inspirational journey since the moment that I arrived at Synchronicity® Sanctuary. I had no idea what to expect and from the first turn into the gate all that lush green beautiful serene atmosphere just felt magical. If you are looking for a place to rejuvenate and be at peace and find joy, I highly recommend that you come to this very special space. It’s sacred and it’s beautiful and I can’t recommend it highly enough.
