“A cup is just a vessel, but the true magic is when you discover what its emptiness can hold.”
Imagine a comfortable room. Peace permeates this ancient mountain forest of colorful songbirds and wandering deer. Slow down, breathe fresh air, and reflect.
Time apart to commune and reconnect with the quiet of nature. Walking paths meander through the beautiful woodlands. At the gazebo on the pond, journal or read a book. Practice stillness, experience effortless, High-Tech Meditation®, let go, dissolve stress, and reconnect to peace and spirit.
To renew and rejuvenate, we offer Wellbeing Services. Please book before your arrival, as availability is limited.
"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!" - Jess F.
