The Sanctuary

        Awakening Sanctuary is sited in a 30 acre site in a beautiful country setting in the Champlain Valley.  It is cradled between the eastern shores of Lake Champlain and the Green Mountains, in Monkton, Vt.

        The Sanctuary is cared for by Julie Windsong and Paul Kervick and offers a sacred space for relaxation, reflection and healing. It is a peaceful place that honors all life and invites one to settle into the heart of your being.

        At the Sanctuary gentle mountain meets joyous streams with peaceful woods and open meadows. You will also find a mystical pond, gardens, mountain trails and a variety of wildlife, both winged and four footed. The land offers walking, hiking, biking, swimming, a crystal healing pyramid, two labyrinths, quiet sitting spaces, and a stone circle with fire pit for sacred dance and ceremony.

Facilities:

  The Sanctuary Studio, designed with sacred geometry, earth friendly building materials and construction techniques, is a 12 sided, 700 square feet straw bale structure.
