Nestled in the hills of San Rafael, California, the historic Santa Sabina Retreat Center is a sanctuary for reflection and renewal, with roots dating back to 1939. Long cared for by the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael, its grounds carry a legacy of peace, beauty, and spiritual depth.
Thoughtfully redesigned for the next generation of seekers, the campus features a light-filled classroom, a welcoming dining hall and kitchen, and 47 private bedrooms designed for rest and renewal.
The former chapel, now de-sanctified and free of religious iconography, has been transformed into The Sanctuary. Reimagined as a space for Hoffman’s non-religious spiritual work, The Sanctuary is a place where participants gather for reflection, transformation, and connection — a space that embodies the essence of Hoffman’s mission to nurture healing and awakening.
Set on two secluded acres of landscaped grounds, Santa Sabina provides an environment for the Hoffman Process to continue fostering growth, discovery, and profound personal change.
