Hosted at Tortoise Lodge at Sacred Mountain Sanctuary, Sanctum offers restorative, custom retreats for individuals wishing to enter a period of sacred silence and deep rest.  Sanctum provides a space of respite for individuals to engage in self-selected wellness practices, for a few hours, a day, or overnight. Sanctum is hosted in a wifi-free, EMF-limited temple space nestled in a 300 acre nature preserve that is surrounded by the wild vitality of Pisgah National Forest.

Sanctum’s restorative, personalized experiences can include self-selected practitioner support, simple, nutritious shared vegetarian meals prepared from biodynamic or organic ingredients, accompanied by teas and juices.  Individuals may also choose to engage an art, movement or eco-contemplative activity, with materials and prompts provided.  If desired, the session can also include overnight rest in one’s selected location.  Individuals are also welcome to roam-at-will within the Sanctuary’s 300 acres of forest, farmland, gardens and beyond, on the trails of Pisgah National Forest.
