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's a roughly 40-minute drive south of Denver, set on a few quiet rural acres near where W Wolfensberger Rd meets N Perry Park Rd, between Castle Rock and Sedalia — it's genuinely easy to blow past, so slow down and watch for the turn. There's a small on-site lot and a network of gentle walking paths to wander. Everything is free and donation-supported, so this is the kind of place to be quiet and respectful — it's a sacred contemplative space, not an attraction. Come in fair weather (it's all outdoors and exposed) and aim for a calm, uncrowded stretch; hours track sunrise-to-sunset, so check the season. Pair it with a bite in nearby Sedalia or downtown Castle Rock on the way back.
