Ancient Wisdom with Deep Roots
NURTURE BEINGNESS, RELAX INTO THE NOWBuilt from humble beginnings almost 40 years ago, our retreat brings ancient wisdom, wellness, enlightening, and grounding practices alive.
Our philosophy and offerings are modern expressions of Vedic/Tantric wisdom and holistic lifestyle practices evolved for balancing, grounding, and awareness-expanding experiences that deliver wellbeing, wholeness, and fulfillment. We look forward to welcoming you.
A Holistic Retreat
Our guest experience and transformation take place in a forest sanctuary of peace and wellness. Sanctuary embraces you with its healing energy as its enlightening harmonic resonance welcomes your entire being to awaken to well-being.
You can come to Sanctuary and relax, have a dreamy massage, eat great food, forest bathe, and rejuvenate in the positive energy field. Each day you have the choice to rediscover peace of mind. Sanctuary’s essence and nurturing environment offer an oasis to develop, create, actualize and inspire you to transcend.
It is about living a life you thrive in with warmth and generosity of spirit. Balance is the key. Holistic living is about creating balance in your physical, mental, and emotional dimensions, essential to naturally experiencing and embracing your best life. You will thrive and more, bringing consistent balance to the physical, mental, and emotional dimensions naturally and organically will open you to higher consciousness or wholeness (holism). Balance delivers wholeness, and through the naturally pleasurable experience of wholeness, the fulfillment of being human. In essence, you are beingness.
Retreat at Sanctuary and experience a profound sense of blissful repose.
A piece of heaven. “Through balance, awareness expands and joy is experienced as the essence of life ” – MC Cannon
Awakening, Inspiration, Insight, Renewal, and Actualization
“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”
― Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
At its heart, Sanctuary is a place to be in a state of grace that springs from deep inner stillness. It is the experience of aware presence in the Now. It is not about scintillating ideas, beliefs, or clever marketing; it is the essence of Beingness. We are a not-for-profit community of long-term meditators who have created a sanctuary of living mysticism. Out of an intention to serve selflessly, we have been empowering people for almost 40 years to relax into their natural balance, wholeness, and fulfillment.
“There is almost a sensual longing for communion with others that have a larger vision. The immense fulfillment of the friendships between those engaged in furthering the evolution of consciousness has a quality almost impossible to describe.”
― Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
What People Say
The Sanctuary is Mother Nature at its best, humankind at its best, spacious and everlasting. I arrived at the airport, drove here, felt a little different, and when I get on the property it’s nothing like anything I’ve experienced before. It’s a very sweet, loving energy. I feel at home and safe and loved.
Sanctuary Retreat Center was just the place I needed to do a little writing and launch my retirement years. I rested, was fed, and walked among trees and birds in a beautiful place. I also got a glimpse of the history of spiritual awakenings here, the respect for the divine feminine, and the deep musical vibrations of the “high-tech” meditation. A beautiful and kind community of people tend to this place. I’m so glad I stopped by.
