Grass Lake Sanctuary: A Retreat Sanctuary for Life-Balancing Connections

 

MISSION

Our mission is to serve our community by restoring mental health and well-being through therapeutic, nature-based programing and strong relationship building among peers.

To provide dynamic retreat experiences and programs focused on nature, relationship building, creativity from the heart, foods for health, de-stressing and rejuvenation services. To help people integrate this experience back into their lives.

 

VISION

A world where people and place come together for transformation and healing.

 

SUMMARY

Grass Lake Sanctuary is both a place and people. The land itself, a stunning 145 acres of beautifully preserved diverse Michigan ecosystems, brings its own healing presence to every program held here. The compassionate people of Grass Lake Sanctuary – from its Board of Directors, to its staff and retreat presenters, to its many volunteers from within the organization and the greater community – are dedicated to stewarding this space where all who enter can feel the vibrant healing connection between nature and our hearts. The land and people of GLS come together in a unique partnership through our programs, retreats and volunteer opportunities which serve the people of southeast Michigan by helping participants learn tools for releasing stress and trauma and re-entering their lives with enthusiasm and creativity. This in turn ripples out to their communities as they embody and carry these tools for wellness and life balance back into their families, work settings, and daily lives.

We invite you to learn more about us through Our History – the story of the sanctuary land and the people of GLS – as well as meeting the GLS Board of Directors and GLS Staff, people of remarkable compassion and commitment.
