A Sanctuary Center
A Sanctuary Center is a free, volunteer-maintained nonprofit sacred garden open sunrise to sunset daily, featuring a labyrinth, stone medicine wheel, Platonic-solid sculptures, Pa-Kua symbol, sundial, wishing trees hung with prayer streamers, and a small lending library — all tucked quietly off a rural road between Castle Rock and Sedalia. TripAdvisor reviewers consistently call it an "unadvertised treasure" and praise its unhurried, self-guided contemplative atmosphere.
The move: Arrive in the golden hour before sunset, walk the full labyrinth together in silence (one person enters, the other waits and enters when they're ready), then wander the grounds to read the handwritten prayers on the wishing trees and try to find all five Platonic-solid sculptures — finish by sitting at the sundial and watching the light fade over the meadow.
📍 Before you go It sits on West Wolfensberger Road in the open country between Castle Rock and Sedalia, just west of Castle Rock — the kind of low-key roadside spot that's easy to drive past, so slow down and watch for the small sanctuary turnoff and gravel parking near the gate. It's free and donation-supported, run entirely by volunteers, so treat it gently: this is a quiet, working contemplative garden, and you may be sharing the labyrinth with people who came to meditate, so keep voices low. Go in daylight (golden hour is ideal) and dress for exposed high-plains weather — there's little shade. It's an easy add-on to a Castle Rock outing.
