Support our growth
Seal Harbour Sanctuary is dedicated to replenishing and protecting the environment, and to providing a space for relaxation and healing through nature, yoga and the arts. Following a successful retreat season, we are expanding the center by acquiring the neighboring property, with partner Lisa Ishwari Murphy - Sva Ha Academy. The intention is to host Heaven on Earth Retreats™ and add a number of wellness amenities to the property - boardwalk to the beach, oceanside event space, sauna, stargazing dome, and compostable toilet. We are raising $50,000 to help facilitate this vision.
Boutique Retreats
Seal Harbour Sanctuary is located on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, nestled in the healing energy of a magical forest. This cozy seaside retreat offers the perfect nature immersion. Most days, the only sounds are the rolling ocean waves, the rustling of trees in the breeze, and the melodic songs of birds. The moonrises are truly breathtaking, and on clear nights, the stargazing is nothing short of magical!
During our boutique retreat experiences, we cultivate a sacred space within an intimate group setting. Supported by the collective energy, we are able to connect with our true essence, beyond limiting beliefs, patterns, and fears. Our offerings include yoga, sound healing, kayaking, forest bathing, cold plunging, fire and moon ceremonies, and nourishing vibrant meals.
