Our 2026 retreat calendar is now fully booked. We look forward to opening 2027 dates in the last quarter of 2026.
Sanctuary pauses retreats for January and February, but we’re still here to assist with registrations, inquiries, and retreat planning.
You are welcome to get in touch and explore the possibilities. Click “Learn More” below, read through the information, and if you’re interested, click “Inquire Now,” fill out the form, and we’ll be happy to review your request.
Sanctuary is an intimate wellness and meditative retreat center dedicated to cultivating a lifestyle of balance, wholeness, and fulfillment. We host groups of up to 35 guests.
Our mission is to educate, guide, and support conscious, holistic living through practices that sustain a meditation-based lifestyle and make inner work accessible, grounded, and empowering.
Hosted retreats are aligned with this spirit. We warmly welcome inquiries from established teachers and facilitators in meditation, yoga, breathwork, or holistic wellness who offer experiential learning through instruction, practices, and meaningful group engagement in a retreat setting.
Our intention throughout the review process is to ensure a mutually supportive and aligned experience for everyone involved. If, after connecting, it doesn’t feel like a good fit, we’ll let you know with care and wish you well in finding the space that’s right for your offering.
*We’re currently closed for the winter season, however, if you’d like to host a retreat sometime in the spring of 2023 or later, please fill out our inquiry form and we will be in touch.

What Retreat Leaders Say:
“As global retreat facilitators, we are highly selective in where we bring our retreats. Sanctuary Retreat Center sets a high bar for creating an environment that supports being on retreat. The Center itself is on a beautiful rolling and wooded piece of property in the Shenandoah foothills. You can immediately feel the vibration of this place on arrival. From the kindness and care of the staff to the nourishing food to the meditations and healing services offered, I would call this place impeccable in its ability to support heart-centered retreats.” – Tracey J. Moon
“I’ve held retreats around the world, and I’ve never been anywhere that has supported the work I do so amply, in all ways. Everyone was sensitive to our needs and generous with their time and thoughtfulness. And beyond that, the quality of the accommodations, the food, the towering forest and the hills helped the work deepen for everyone. I so look forward to returning soon!” – Philip Shepherd

What People Say About
Our Sanctuary
"Just the naturalness, hearing the leaves falling, the peace!"
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.
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.
The environment here at the Sanctuary is just beautiful. I often come in the Fall just because I love to see the change of seasons. The walk through the woods from the Sanctuary Lodge to where all the buildings are is probably my favorite along with walking the mountain. Just the naturalness, hearing the leaves falling, the peace!
