Welcome to West Winds Sanctuary

Located directly on Rainbow Lake, one of the most pristine bodies of water in the Adirondacks, West Winds is a great scene for intimate retreats, workshops, ceremonies, gatherings and events.

West Winds is a conscious artistic hub & spiritual playground for beautiful souls who come together to enjoy and share in the abundance of connection, stories, gifts, talents, wisdom, trust, love, good food & giggles. It honors the elements, the animals and the divine spark within all of us. Ashera, who is currently caring for the land, grew up here, deeply recognizing the healing power and beauty that this land holds on many different levels. Combining her life’s work, passions, hobbies and connections into one magical spot, she has created a place for like minded individuals who want to train body, mind & spirit, continue to grow, expand and CO - CREATE. Supporting and encouraging all, West Winds is a place to generate a therapeutic and playful lifestyle.

All of our lodging options are welcoming and simple. The diverse spectrum, ranging from self-pitched tents, glamping tents or comfortable cabins to shared or private beds in the Main House, allows you to spend your time with us in the way that best suits your personal needs.

We encourage healthy, local & organic foods and ask you to forgo alcoholic drinks while at the Sanctuary.
