Rest and Refresh just outside of Austin, Texas
Sanctuary in the Woods provides programs and educational activities designed to inspire, uplift, challenge, and connect.
Giving Tuesday is Sanctuary's largest fundraiser of the Year
Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday is Sanctuary's primary annual fundraising initiative, and we hope that you will look for our social media posts to relive some of the highlights of 2021 and get some ideas for what's ahead in 2022!
To help us you can "Like" and "Share" our posts, comment on them, and have some fun with us that day as we raise funds to support our exciting 2022 initiatives!
Last year’s Giving Tuesday donations helped us continue our Sanctuary Online programming, now with more than 70 sessions offered and recorded on our YouTube channel.
Last year's donations also allowed us to develop our on-site retreat plans with a professional engineering firm, who worked with us to create site plans as we redesigned our vision based on our changing world. We used these plans to conduct very beneficial strategic meetings to determine our next steps as we prepare to build the retreat center at Sanctuary in the Woods.
Additionally, we began to develop and expand our in-house programming, especially the initiative to redesign CLM as an online course.
We are beyond grateful for your support and for making our 2021 initiatives possible, and thank each person who donated funds, helped with programming, or helped spread the word about Sanctuary Online.
With gratitude,
Tom and Ken & Jobie and Cheryl

When a Global Pandemic kept us from camping south of Hot Springs Arkansas this summer, we "merged" with our Sanctuary Online.live community -
and we "camped" online!
While we'd have loved to all be together, we made the best of things and sang camp songs, shared photos and stories of family camping trips, and really had quite a great time!
Building!

Building!
We are called to create space
for folks to REST, and then REFRESH their spirits, bodies, relationships.
Sanctuary in the Woods is in the process of building both a large building and a number of cabins where folks could sleep over and small groups of individuals who are seeking a space to retreat are welcome.
Your Help Allows Sanctuary to Grow
Sanctuary is preparing to build our non-profit retreat space for individuals and small groups,
as well as a space for larger meetings.
Sanctuary's weekly (hard) cost to bring Sanctuary Online.live to our
physically distant communities is nearly $100 per week!
Would you like to sponsor a week? Part of a week?
Your generous donation keeps us "on the air"
and doing even more great work of connecting, educating, and inspiring!
