We are Growing Together
We’re excited to share a major milestone in our journey—Newburgh Sanctuaryis becoming newly incorporated as a nonprofit organization. This step strengthens our ability to care for the land, grow food and flowers, nurture youth leadership, and expand community-rooted healing at Crystal Lake for years to come.
This has always been a collective effort—and now, we’re inviting you to help sustain it in a deeper way. To celebrate this new chapter, we’ve launched our new website—making it easier to learn about our work, become a member, and stay connected.
