The Sanctuary is made of people — their gifts, their commitments, their willingness to show up. Here are the hands and hearts behind what you experience here.
Each person here brings a distinct gift to the whole. Together, they hold the Sanctuary's many dimensions — art, healing, prayer, land, hospitality, and community — in a shared commitment to what this place is becoming.
