Our Sanctuary

Our Holistic Healing Sanctuary offers a unique blend of programs designed to promote wellness, empowerment, and connection, drawing inspiration from the prosthetic care and artistic expression of Ascension Arts and the trauma-informed firearms therapy of Abishai Arms. Our comprehensive offerings include:

• Animal-Assisted Therapy: Partnering with animals to provide emotional support and companionship, helping individuals with limb loss and Veterans with trauma build trust, reduce stress, and foster emotional healing through meaningful connections with therapy animals.
• Green Therapy: Immersive nature-based activities, such as horticulture, forest therapy, and outdoor mindfulness, designed to promote mental well-being, physical health, and a sense of peace through engagement with the natural world.
• Holistic Therapy: A whole-person approach that integrates mind, body, and spirit, combining techniques like meditation, yoga, and energy work to support emotional and physical recovery in a compassionate, trauma-informed setting.
• Integrative Programs: Blending the adaptive arts of Ascension Arts (e.g., painting, pottery, and dance) with the resilience-focused training of Abishai Arms (e.g., trauma response and exposure therapy), creating personalized pathways to healing that honor individual needs and goals.
• Multicultural Approach: Celebrating diversity by incorporating culturally sensitive practices and perspectives, ensuring that all participants—regardless of background, race, religion, or ideology—feel seen, valued, and supported in their healing journey.
• Sustainability: Committing to eco-friendly practices, such as sustainable gardening, renewable energy use, and environmentally conscious materials in our programs, to nurture both people and the planet.
• Archery: Offering adaptive archery programs that draw from Ascension Arts’ inclusive approach and Abishai Arms’ trauma-informed training, fostering focus, confidence, and joy in a safe, supportive environment.
• Fun: Infusing all programs with an element of joy and play, creating uplifting experiences that encourage laughter, connection, and a renewed sense of purpose through engaging and creative activities.

Ascended Terra serves as a bridge between the innovative prosthetic care and artistic empowerment of Ascension Arts and the trauma-focused resilience training of Abishai Arms, creating a unified, nature-inspired approach to healing. We are dedicated to empowering individuals with limb loss, Veterans, and particularly female Veterans, to rediscover their strength and build meaningful connections in a vibrant, inclusive community. We extend heartfelt gratitude to our donors and partners who help make this vision a reality. Join us at Ascended Terra to cultivate healing, sustainability, and joy in a world where everyone can rise and thrive.
