Sanctuary Tours
There are currently no tour dates.
Join us for a guided tour of Solstice Sanctuary. You'll learn how the Sanctuary was founded, walk the farm grounds, and meet the animals who live here. We’ll share their stories, offer a chance to feed treats, and talk about the healing work that happens between people, animals, and the land. It’s a meaningful way to experience what Solstice Sanctuary is all about!
We kindly ask for a $10 contribution per person to support the care of our animals and the work we do at the Sanctuary. Tour registration required.

Soundbaths at the Sanctuary: Season of Gratitude
November 22nd, 2026 | 10 AM - 12 PM
As we approach the Thanksgiving season, join us for a restorative experience centered on reflection and gratitude. This time of year invites us to slow down and appreciate the simple gifts in life—the warmth of home, the comfort of good food, and the presence of loved ones.
What is a Sound Bath? A sound bath is a relaxing experience where you’re surrounded by soothing sounds and vibrations created by instruments like crystal singing bowls, chimes, drums, or gongs. You simply lie down or sit comfortably while the sounds wash over you, creating a feeling of deep calm and rest.
