The Next Chapter
How You Can Help
Five years ago, a dream was put into motion — a dream of creating a sacred healing sanctuary for deep healing, spiritual connection, and nature therapy. With the help of many generous hearts and loving hands, we built a ceremonial yurt, fire circle, labyrinth, walking paths & camp sites.
Since then, the sanctuary has become a home for healing retreats, renewal, connection, and growth. Hundreds of people have come from near and far to heal their hearts, restore their spirits, regain hope, and transform their lives. The journeys they have embarked on have not only transformed them but have rippled out to benefit their families, workplaces, and communities. We are proud of what we have accomplished in five short years.
Now, it’s time build on the solid foundation we created and step into the next chapter of the sanctuary’s evolution — and we would love your support. We are raising funds for four key projects listed below. Your gift will not only make these enhancements possible, but also sustain a sanctuary where more people can heal, connect, and embody their truest selves.
Every contribution matters. Scroll down for the details of the plan and click below to contribute. We hope you will join us in helping bring this dream into reality. Together, we can create a more expansive, welcoming, and sustainable sanctuary for years to come.

The 4 Expansions
Forest Bathing Trail Expansion
Inspired by the amazing benefits of the Japanese nature therapy called Shinrin-Yoku, meaning Forest Bathing, we had hoped during phase 1 of the sanctuary development to create walking paths and meditation nooks throughout the beautiful 4.4 acres of forested oak and manzanita trees. Due to other more pressing needs, we were only able to do this in the area closest to the house. Now, we are ready to create a full loop trail providing guests richer healing with nature experiences. This trail will traverse our seasonal creek and have resting spots for contemplation.
Upgraded Facilities & Storage
The small compost toilet sheds that are necessary to have close to the yurt were damaged during a storm, so we would like to build a bigger, more durable structure to house upgraded compost toilet(s) and essential storage space. These upgrades will greatly add to the comfort and convenience of students and guests. The storage space will also house hammocks, swings, and related items to enhance rest/rejuvenation while forest bathing. This upgraded structure will be called Little Loo.
Casita Picaflor
One of our goals is to provide the best retreat experiences for the individuals and couples who participate in our retreats as well as the healers and teachers seeking a sacred space to hold their workshops, ceremonies, and classes. Facilitating group retreats can be very tiring. By building a cozy, comfortable space separate to sleep 2, we hope to provide a peaceful space for facilitators to rest and replenish. One of Parminder’s dreams is to hold retreats for groups of 4 couples, so this space will provide an additional bedroom to make this possible. This sweet space will be named Casita Picaflor (Little Hummingbird House) and the main house will be called Casa Halcon (Hawk House).
Fire Mitigation + Beautification
Fire mitigation is a crucial area of focus that continues to evolve. We were advised by a fire safety specialist to place pea gravel around our fire circle and to clear some more brush. We plan to clear brush, expand the seating area of the fire pit, add pea gravel, and possibly put the fire pit in ground. We will also add some more pea gravel near the yurt, place a railing on the stairs, and create a Blessingway area where the old unused garden area was.
We would so appreciate your support for this next phase of the sanctuary’s evolution and growth. Thank you for helping make our dreams a reality!
