Sanctuary on the River is a unique venue

offering the ideal setting for your next event.

The word Sanctuary triggers introspection. Imagine a place designed with you in mind, a relaxing space where your vision will become clear. Tucked away andforgotten for years, this overgrown and abandoned spot at 207 Eagle Drive, nestled next to the Rio Ruidoso and just steps away from midtown Ruidoso has been brought back to life. Five months of loving restoration has yielded a true Sanctuary for the soul.

The Sanctuary is unique in its approach to living a life in balance. Our programs are designed with a clear focus in mind, living an authentic life. A pure and simple aspiration, but challenging given the fast pace of everyday living.

Our retreats, workshops and seminars are based on the principles of life coaching. At the Sanctuary, our community of coaches is your catalysts for learning and growth. We assist you in shaping a distinctive yet simple philosophy for living a life of your own choosing based on a new understanding of living authentically.

We are your Sanctuary. Casual in our approach, you are invited to drop in mornings beginning at 7:30 am and enjoy the daily selections at our Wellness Juice Bar. Take a few minutes to set your pace for the day. Sit by the river, journal, meditate or simply take in nature. We use only the purest botanically based Arbonne nutritionals and wellness coach Laurie Welty is available for complimentary consultations. Our “Green” juices are made with organic wheatgrass and sprouts grown on site in our own Spa Botanica hydroponic indoor garden under the trained eye of Tom Histen, of the popular Greenhouse Restaurant in Capitan, NM. You will experience a new appreciation for juices that are healthy, tasty and a natural source of energy and wellbeing.

Although we are not a traditional restaurant, healthy salads du jour are catered in daily by reservation from our neighbor, Blue Goose Restaurant for your enjoyment. Cross the bridge to our “island” and really get away for lunch with someone you haven’t seen in a while, YOU!

Afternoons we focus on workshops, seminars and worth your time experiences you will find listed her on our website. The Sanctuary is a resource center for you. If you have ideas or talents that you think would be a great workshop, let us know. We are a community of life-long learners that believe in sharing our experiences.

Again, this is your Sanctuary....
