The Breitenbush Sanctuary

A Sanctuary for all beings

Help Us Rebuild

​Our Beloved Sanctuary

Join us in celebrating the upcoming rebuild of our Beloved Sanctuary! We know that our guests have been awaiting this rebuild and we are so delighted to now be underway. The Sanctuary hosted the Daily Well-Being programs for 37 years, as well as many other programs for personal communion, inner renewal, community connection, and sacred conversations. 

You can help us with this auspicious goal by supporting our fundraising efforts today! 

The budget for the Sanctuary Rebuild is estimated at $680K which includes the costs of materials, Breitenbush building team members, outside contractors such as architects and licensed contractors, site excavation, and the creation of simple housing for offsite workers during their contracts.

As we rebuild the Sanctuary, we will be adding a special memorial for Eric Ellis. 

Ellis Island will be a place for peaceful repose, meditation or contemplation. Nestled in the trees, with a view of the river, guests can easily commune with nature.

Ellis Island Memorial Placque

"Remember you don't have to "do" anything. Just be open to what is. You will realize more and more that you are this awareness and that everything that arises in you is there to be held and healed. You are the light. You are the one. There is nothing that can touch you so there is nothing to be afraid of. Have a great journey! See you soon." 😊
- From the journal of Eric Ellis
