Sanctuary offerings

“Nature is the purest portal to inner peace.”

Green Terra Sanctuary’s 20 secluded acres and retreat house provide a spectrum of safe fertile spaces for individual and group gatherings that nurture the creative spirit. Whether you are seeking contemplative quiet to process and heal personal or family trauma, to gather with your family to celebrate life’s passages, or to expand collaborative innovation processes within your organization, Green Terra nurtures the emerging truth of life’s cycles.

  • Individual Retreats

    Green Terra Sanctuary will be available to individuals for short stay personal retreats. Examples of usage might include short sabbaticals for spiritual leaders, writing retreats, a week of silence, and engaging in contemplative practices in nature. Spiritual direction can be available if requested.

  • Family Respite Retreats

    The Sanctuary can be booked by families who have experienced tragedies. Examples include the loss of a child or parent, or as a place to begin restoration following recovery from life threatening illnesses.

  • Spiritual Group Retreats

    Over the course of each year, a variety of weekend and week long retreats with programming in some aspect of contemplative practices will be offered. Please see the calendar for current offerings.

  • Organization Retreats

    It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
