Sacred Groves

Sacred Groves Sacred Groves is a ten acre forest sanctuary, a little eco-retreat run by Therese Charvet and Tere Carranza. Most events are open to men and women.

Because of COVID-19, our guest hosting business is shut down and we have shifted to being an intentional community. Sacred Groves is a place to deepen your relationship with Mother Earth and your personal spirituality, a place for ceremony and a sense of connection. Women’s Mysteries School events are for women only. Sacred Groves is not affiliated with any particular religion. The events here inc

lude elements of ritual from earth-based spiritual traditions in North America, Africa and pre-Christian Europe. They have also been inspired by mentors like Sobonfu Some, Joanna Macy, Starhawk, our relationship with Mother Earth, and co-creative experiences in drumming and ritual groups for the past three decades. We welcome people of all cultures and creed who share our beliefs that the earth is sacred and that music, dance, prayer, ceremony, and time in the natural world are essential for personal and community health. However, because this is a private residence, we ask guests to RSVP for events and/or call in advance for an appointment or tour. Events at Sacred Groves are most often facilitated by owner-director Therese Charvet, co-hosted with her partner Tere Carranza, who contributes her warm heart, logistical support, and tasty cooking. Therese’s leadership and ceremonial skills have been shaped by years in midwifery organizations and other women’s groups, her Buddhist meditation practice, training in Compassionate Listening, all grounded by her deep connection with the land at Sacred Groves where she has lived for 36 years.
