Circe's Sanctuary
Sustainable Herbal Farm & Reclamation Project Upstate New York
Where ancient wisdom and nature nurture your soul.
Spend some time with us at the farm in the foothills of the Adirondacks Mountains. Be part of the community of learners, builders and growers that will coax this 5 acre farm into a sustainable sanctuary for herbal education/ research, and a retreat for healing.
Circe (Greek Goddess) the original visionary pharmacologist who found power, sanctuary and science in the Earth.
Welcome to Circe's Sanctuary
Rooted in our Greek heritage and the ancient wisdom of Circe, my brother and I have begun a journey in Johnstown, NY. We are the proud new stewards of 5 acres of beautiful farmland in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains. We are honored to be in this community. Many summers were spent in the Adirondacks and so this feels like coming home. Join us as we build a refuge where nature, science and healing meet.
Our Heritage
Our Mission
Our dream is to create a learning community, and a refuge where nature heals, and people flourish. We envision a sustainable farm, research and workshops in the healing arts of plants, and a sanctuary for peaceful contemplation and gatherings of friends. We are reclaiming the art of the hearth, the garden, and the soul.
We are opening our gates and our hearts to those who want to bring their skills, knowledge and joy to a growing project. We are looking for partners in labor and spirit to help us build this dream. Will you join us?
