Sanctuary Summit returns in 2026 with a focus on building resilience; strengthening our communities, forming strong nodes in a living web that can weather disruption and cultivate hope. 

Hosted in one of the country's oldest and largest intentional communities known as The Farm, Sanctuary Summit brings together global music talents, intergenerational wisdom, engaging presentations, hands-on skill building, and spaces for children to grow within the village we dream of. 

There are only 500 weekend tickets available, get yours before they sell out!

Sanctuary Summit is more than a festival, it is a working prayer for a future built upon a foundation of connection, creativity, and deep care.

Kundalini Yoga teaches us to refine our sensory system to be more aware, and to strengthen our nervous system to be more awake. Then we can embrace life, activate our talents and creativity, no longer be a stowaway in our own body, marvel at the small and big things, know that we are connected to all that is, nourish ourselves with this vital Kundalini impulse that propels evolution and gives us the means to accompany the formidable paradigm shift currently underway, towards a world more fair, harmonious and beautiful.

Emily Jahnsen, a certified Death Doula through Going With Grace, educates communities on the array of information encircling end-of-life options and after-death endeavors. Following the book “Let’s Talk About Death Over Dinner” by Michael Hebb, she dives into topics such as ‘how do we talk to children about death,’ ‘thoughts on physician-assisted suicide/organ donation/green burials,’ and ‘what are the deaths we don’t talk about in the world and why.’ Facilitating these conversations to transmute the current cultural taboo around death is how Emily actualizes her aspriation to elevate society’s resistance to our mortality in her lifetime.
