WELCOME TO
OMLAND SANCTUARY

Omland is a spiritual foundation and universal church of light and love, whose vision is to promote peace, healing, enlightenment, and celebration on Earth.

We are a growing community of ministers, healers, artists, and seekers. Omland Sanctuary is envisioned as both an online church, offering meditation, spiritual counseling, and other gatherings, and as a land-based intentional spiritual community rooted in love, authenticity, and service. 

As our world moves through deep crisis, we feel called to help birth a next-generation community—a place where we live together with loved ones in a way that supports each of us to grow into our full potential. A place where we can live in true authenticity and surrender, and help one another heal from the wounds and conditioning of childhood and society.

We envision a sanctuary where we can be vulnerable together, cry and laugh, meditate, sing, and dance—reconnecting with the love, peace, and joy that we truly are, and living in devotion to the Sacred. Combined with a spiritual retreat and healing center, and a self-sustaining, self-reliant ecovillage, Omland Sanctuary is intended to be a living model of “paradise on Earth.”

Our long-term dream is to offer a taste of this life to visitors from around the world and to serve all who come here to become more fully themselves. In doing so, we hope to demonstrate a new way of being and living for humanity—one that is communal instead of isolated, connected instead of separate.

​

Why community, Why now?

​

For most of human history, people lived in tribes and close-knit villages. This way of life offered natural support, belonging, shared purpose, and daily contact with the land.

In the modern world, many of us live in isolated nuclear families, or even alone in separate boxes. This often leads to disconnection, loneliness, anxiety, and despair. Many of our mental and emotional struggles are not personal failures, but symptoms of an unhealthy cultural pattern. 

Omland Sanctuary is a response to this. The time has come for a new model of community—one that honors ancient wisdom while embracing the needs of our time. Our main pillars are:

• Healing – Deep inner work and trauma healing for body, mind, and soul.Embodied Enlightenment – Bringing spiritual awakening into everyday life, relationships, and service.

• Celebration – Remembering joy, music, dance, art, and play as sacred. 

• Sustainability – Living in harmony with the Earth through regenerative and self-reliant practices.

 

Healing

​

From birth, many of us have been shaped by an unconscious, stress-filled culture. We’ve learned to disconnect from our feelings and from our true nature. Healing, as we see it, is the journey of unlearning the lies of separation and returning to our natural state of wholeness.

In Omland Sanctuary, healing happens through authenticity and vulnerability. We agree to hold each other’s hearts with great care. By naming separations when they arise, by meeting uncomfortable sensations instead of running from them, we bring the hidden parts of ourselves back into the light. Our retreats and programs will support deep healing for residents and visitors alike.

​

Embodied Enlightenment

​

Awakening is more than a beautiful experience in meditation or on the dance floor. Embodied enlightenment is the practice of living from Oneness in everyday life—while cooking, working, parenting, relating, and serving.

We are devoted to integrating spiritual insight into the body, the nervous system, and relationships, so that the realization of Oneness naturally flowers into compassionate action and service to humanity.

​

Celebration

​

Omland is also a place of joy. We believe celebration is a powerful spiritual practice. Through music, dance, art, ceremony, and play, we remember our freedom and our shared aliveness.

Our gatherings will honor both the depth of healing and the lightness of celebration, allowing people to feel fully human and fully divine.
