Red Hawk Sanctuary is a secluded gem nestled among beautiful oak and manzanita trees. This sacred 4.5-acre peaceful retreat invites rest, reflection, and reconnection—with nature, with spirit, and with yourself. Whether you are visiting to host a healing gathering, for a solo retreat or a quiet getaway with loved ones, the land and property are here to hold and welcome you.

The modern 3-bedroom, 2-bath home designed by an award-winning architect has an open, spacious floor plan and a 30 foot wall of north facing windows with gorgeous panoramic views of the trees and hillside. The cathedral ceilings, 3 skylights, and light wood floor and finishes allow for a feeling of open spaciousness.

The home sleeps up to 12 guests comfortably (camping spots may be available for a few additional guests). It has central heat and air conditioning for year round comfort as well as a gas fireplace for additional warmth and ambience.

Just beyond the doors are a large back deck perfect for relaxation during the day and enjoying Julian’s incredible night sky after sunset. On clear nights, you can see the Milky Way with the naked eye and bathe under the healing starlight. Step down onto the last and enjoy paths for walking and forest bathing, a meditation grove, ceremonial fire circle, a medicine wheel for prayer, and a seasonal creek and pond.

For group retreats and gatherings, a 572 sq ft ceremonial yurt is also available—made specifically for sacred gatherings—and featuring a large, gorgeous labyrinth for additional contemplation and healing magic. This sacred space features 4 large windows and a skylight allowing for a very expansive feel and immersion in the healing nature all around.
