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 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!!
What I would say to people who either can’t find the time to come on a retreat, I would say the same thing about meditation. You need to set aside some time each day to meditate; you need to set some time each year to attend a retreat.
My time at the Sanctuary Retreat Center was Wonderful! It is a beautiful peaceful place in the Blue Ridge mountains, a healing and magical range. The morning meditation was a wonderful addition to the breath, body, and sound retreat I attended.💖 The staff, food, and accommodations were great! My life is enriched from my experience there, I am very grateful!
The meditation in the retreat setting that I experience here is very powerful. I just feel a loving energy everywhere. Meditating around people who are really experiencing kind of the same things that I am and just by being in a peaceful place like this I’m surrounded by beautiful energy and beautiful nature. It really feels like close to heaven all the time.
