A solar-powered community resource to promote environmental education, community development and interfaith spiritual practice and understanding.
Located on a 40 acre land preserve in East Haddam, the Sanctuary features a yurt, drumming circle, labyrinth, community garden, apiary, composting eco-temple, and walking trails past quiet brooks, beaver ponds and forests. The Sanctuary staff and extended community of artists, spiritual teachers and holistic health practitioners offer regular classes and workshops and host special events promoting mindful living and sustainability.
Founded in 1995, the Sanctuary is fast becoming a unique resource in the lower valley of the Connecticut River for the innovative educational experiences, community building skills and green technologies needed to bring about a more sustainable society and a more evolved consciousness.
Our mission is to live in harmony with the environment, to share a spiritual practice open and affirming of all and energized by the process of an evolving global consciousness, and to promote sustainable and non-violent ways of living which value and protect our community’s health,
wealth and happiness.
