A Welcome Note From Our Founder
Over twenty-five 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.
