A Welcome Note From Our Founder

Over twenty-three years ago, we had a vision for the Sanctuary.

That it would be a place of stillness that would speak to the stillness in everyone.

That it would be a place of beauty, that would speak to the beauty in everyone.

That it would be a place where people would thrive.

Where they would grow in self- awareness. and in social awareness.

A place of personal growth and development.

I am very happy to invite you to come… to stop… to stay awhile…

so that we can surround you with love and with care, as you surround us.
