Hurricane Helene Relief: OM Sanctuary

Temporarily Closed

Thank You for Standing with Us!

OM Sanctuary, a nonprofit holistic retreat center in Asheville, NC, is temporarily closed due to the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene. Many areas in and around our center are heavily damaged, with roads, bridges, and buildings flooded, wiped away, or destroyed. Crews are working hard to restore utilities and communication.

While the road ahead is uncertain, OM Sanctuary is positioning itself as a Beacon of Hope. The Riverside Pearson Bridge remains intact, making us one of the few accessible locations. This positions us to play a key role in recovery efforts once we restore this special place.

Keep us strong, please donate to our Hurricane Helene Relief: OM Sanctuary. Funds will support clean-up, repairs, a generator, restoring two wells, supplies, and lodging for relief workers.

With gratitude,
Shelli Stanback
CEO, OM Sanctuary

Testimonials

"I must express my inexhaustible gratitude to the amazing staff at this magical place. I had such a wonderful experience volunteering and I cannot wait to do so again! Love and light to each of you. Namasté"

"We stayed at the OM Sanctuary, a retreat space about 1.5 miles from downtown Asheville. We weren’t sure what to expect but it was so lovely! No TVs, beautiful rooms, free yoga, healthy breakfasts and an amazing garden with a waterfall we could hear from our room."

"I liked everything…I definitely was able to detach myself from everything, I loved the garden right outside the room…Everyone from staff to other guest were so nice. This is my spot when I go home to visit."

“I am now back in the snow laden Hudson Valley. I wanted to take the time and send out a heart-felt THANK YOU for the warm welcome I received from all of you. I have had a great deal of speaking engagement in a variety of settings, but what will always make this one special is the love I felt from beginning to end. Thank you for being committed to creating a sanctuary of being and doing. I continue to champion you all.”

“I just wanted to thank all of you for everything you have done for me; for allowing me to stay at the OMS, participate in the workshops, and for being so hospitible. It was so kind of you guys to that, and I just wanted to show my appreciation. It means a lot to me! I will be going back to school very soon, and this semester will be so crazy for me, but I will make time to come help out when my schedule allows it! I hope to see you soon.”

“I was out at OM Sanctuary this morning, and spent a lot of time walking the grounds. You have a gem there, with a heart full of GOLD!”
