What is the Wild Haven Sanctuary? 

^{While most medical and social service organizations provide immediate rescue and rehabilitation for trauma victims our Wild Haven Sanctuary focuses on long-term, holistic support to prevent survivors from returning to destructive environments or behaviors that retraumatize them and lead to chronic dysfunction, disorders, diseases, and pain.}

Wild Haven Sanctuary is dedicated to providing accessible nature based trauma therapy services for survivors of severe and repeated trauma to move toward a LIFEstyle of recovery, restoring hope, and rebuilding resilience within a safe, brave community that will impact future generations to come through retreats, workshops, and adventures!

Our mission is to SHOW THEM HOW to literally MOVE through and out of the stress, anxiety, depression, and chaos they feel in their brains and bodies with holistic, sustainable, natural, evidence based practices that instill hope and bring healing. As they connect the dots and experience transformation, they break free from the chains of anxiety, depression, and self destructive thoughts that kept them trapped, giving up, and stuck in unhealthy ruts … that wreaked havoc on their physical health, too.

At the same time, we guide them in restoring connections within nature with the Healer (the Triune God), themselves, and others who often become lifelong support systems we all need to get through hard times.

We believe that we are each inherently designed to thrive by becoming whole through holistic - physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, relational, and even financial stability and well-being.

There are a plethora of rescuers meeting acute needs like food, shelter, safety and emergent/urgent medical care through rescues, shelters, and rehabilitation facilities, but through our Wild Haven Sanctuary we will provide tools, resources, and growth opportunities to empower individuals to restore their health, rebuild healthy boundaries, and reclaim their resilience to bounce back and receive what was lost or stolen from them... WHOLEness.

Our ultimate vision is to foster a COmmUNITY where trauma survivors become leaders who, with their strength and healing, will impact, inspire, and transform generations upon generations to come.

So we ask, do you want to make a lasting difference in the world?
