WILD PEACE SANCTUARY
OUR VISION
Wild Peace Sanctuary is a nature-based healing sanctuary where the raw spirit of wildness meets the restorative power of safety and peace. Here, our mixed herd of rescued and rehomed wild horses, wild and domestic donkeys, and goats act as ecosystem engineers to restore and regenerate the land, while serving as gentle guides and intuitive partners for experiential and somatic healing. Our vision is to show how humans, animals, and the land heal best through natural reciprocity, and that the wildest spirits can guide us to the deepest peace.
WELCOME
Welcome to a sanctuary space of intentional pause and profound restoration. This page offers an overview and gentle glimpses
into our world, from our healing containers to our reciprocal land philosophy. We invite you to step inside, explore the
various pathways below at your own pace, and discover how we can support you where you are standing today.
RECLAIMING SAFETY & DIGNITY
The wild equines here have survived the trauma of public land roundups, government confinement, and subsequent mistreatment, neglect, or abandonment. These gentle keystone herbivores live alongside our rescued and rehomed domestic residents, some of whom also suffered abuse and neglect. Through rehabilitation and our ongoing holistic grazing practices, their nervous systems have regulated, allowing them to offer a profoundly grounding therapeutic presence. By standing as powerful allies for our human guests, they show us that a return to safety, dignity, and purpose is always possible.
INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS
We offer individual sessions alongside our animal healers that are grounded in neuroscience, somatic healing, and experiential
parts work. Because our rescued animals have navigated their own past traumas, they are profoundly attuned to nervous
system shifts, making them exceptional mirrors of presence and non-judgment. These on-the-ground sessions can
help you process and release trauma, rewire deep-seated relational blocks, and reclaim a sense of inner peace.
REWILDING LAND & ANIMALS
We practice reciprocal healing by partnering with our resident animals as active ecosystem engineers, utilizing planned adaptive grazing to mimic wild herd dynamics. Their daily movement and natural behaviors create a continuous cycle of regenerative improvement—building rich soil biology, restoring natural terrain, and mitigating local wildfire risks. As the herd revives the land, the earth sustains them in return, creating an unbroken loop of mutual care. This reminds us that we do not heal in isolation, but that restoring our inner landscape allows us to cultivate a life that sustains us from the ground up.
IMMERSIVE RETREATS
We offer tailored, immersive healing retreats for individuals, couples, or small groups seeking a transformative experience. By
combining deep nature immersion with experiential, herd-guided somatic healing, we provide a sanctuary space for you to
unburden your heart, awaken authentic connection, and step confidently into your next chapter. Here, the land holds
you as you release what no longer serves you and reclaim your natural state of wholeness, resilience, and peace.
RESTORING NATIVE HABITAT
By introducing regional trees, shrubs, and flora, we enhance vital habitats for pollinators while cultivating a living medicine cabinet and food forest for local wildlife, our resident herd, and human stewards. In tandem with the ancestral movement of our animals across the acreage, this expands pollinator biodiversity to build a rich mosaic of natural habitat and restore true ecological balance. Much like the transformative work we facilitate for people, this thriving ecosystem demonstrates that regenerative healing emerges naturally within a nurturing relational context, through a safely held and intentional environment.
GROUP WORKSHOPS
We offer hands-on classes and educational workshops centered on sustainable living skills, ancestral practices, and native habitat restoration alongside our healing work. Grounded in relational, reciprocal, and regenerative principles, we are passionate about
cultivating local resilience and becoming strong and grounded together as a community. Much like the resilient ecology we
tend, gathering to learn and share these earth-centered skills allows us to weave a regenerative future together.
GIVING BACK TO
LAND & PEOPLE
We capture the spirit of reciprocal stewardship by transforming our herd's raw manure into a mineral-rich compost and create liquid bio-fertilizers from plants wild-harvested from the land. These nutrients fuel our own organic orchards, food forests, and medicinal gardens, and we donate the surplus to local ecological restoration and community groups, including the Concerned Citizens for Clean Air and the food sovereignty programs of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, ensuring that the rich abundance generated by our rescued and rehomed animals ripples outward to nourish the local area.
SUPPORT US
Your support directly assists us in caring for our resident herd and raising awareness about the ongoing challenges facing wild
horses and burros, while shining a light on their natural ability to rewild and regenerate the land. In addition, your
contributions will help us to further develop our program of nature-based classes and workshops, and provide
scholarships for anyone needing support to attend our workshops or to access our therapeutic services.
