From a single unhurried day to a three-week immersion — our retreats guide you through an intentional arc from where you are to where you are becoming.
A retreat at Smith Island Sanctuary is not a program you attend — it is an experience you enter. The island itself holds part of the curriculum: its quietness, its light on the water, its refusal to hurry.
Every retreat draws on the full range of Sanctuary offerings. You might begin your day at the 6am prayer gathering, move into a morning workshop in the art studio, spend an afternoon walking the food forest with a guide, and close with a shared meal at the community table. The island does the rest.
"People arrive exhausted by the world and leave reconnected to themselves."
For creatives who need to remember why they make things. Drawing, painting, mixed media, and nature journaling in the studio and on the land. Guest artists join to share their process and perspective.
Duration: 1 day / weekend / 1 week | From: $75
