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 blended herd of rescued and rehomed wild horses and burros, 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.
RECLAIMING SAFETY & DIGNITY
Wild horses and burros were federally protected under a 1971 law, yet thousands of these animals are rounded up and taken into captivity every year with recent investigations showing that nearly 1.5 million wild equines have been funneled into the slaughter pipeline over the last 55 years. The wild equines we care for live in harmony alongside our domestic residents, many of whom also survived situations of abuse and neglect. Having overcome their difficult histories and reclaimed safety and dignity, these animals are proof that peace after trauma is possible.
RECONNECTING
MIND & BODY
Having found a place of safety and belonging at our sanctuary, our animals offer a profoundly grounding therapeutic presence that deeply supports healing and transformation. Through individual on-the-ground sessions and private retreats, we partner with members of the herd and the holding power of the land to guide your healing journey. Our services are rooted in a synthesis of relational neuroscience, somatics, and principles of natural reciprocity. We invite you to explore our offerings within this regenerative landscape of healing and restoration.
RESTORATION & RECIPROCITY
We believe that healing ourselves and healing the earth are deeply intertwined actions, that nothing happens in isolation. Our sanctuary operates as a living model of natural reciprocity, demonstrating that when we tend the land, the land responds in return, sustaining us from the ground up. By honoring the natural behaviors of our animal residents, both diversity and balance are restored, providing us with a vital, dynamic landscape to hold and mirror your inner flourishing.
