ABOUT

Tumbleweed Sanctuary, Garden & Labyrinth is a destination for ceremony and celebration located in Yucca Valley, California. We believe in experiencing the simplicity and untamed beauty of the desert.

Originally built as a church in 1987, our land holds a history of bringing people together as members congregated for their commitment to the greater good. This sense of unity brought the property to life, building the surrounding community as a whole. Every moment was cherished and every member was celebrated, as communal identity was created through the power of ritual.

Today, we carry on this tradition with an environment supportive of all significant ceremonies and meaningful life moments.

Our Rebirth: The process of restoring this historic property was a large undertaking that lasted almost two years. After it had been left abandoned, the building was stripped bare and the grounds had minimal vegetation left over. We pride ourselves on hospitality and put a great deal of passion into transforming the sanctuary, garden and labyrinth into its current state. This restoration was organic — we designed around the land and what it desired, maintaining its relaxed and grounded energy. 

Experience the natural beauty of the desert at our comfortable destination, surrounded by Joshua Trees with an expansive view. We are tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood and our location is very central; we’re a convenient 30 mile drive from Palm Springs, 11 mile drive from Joshua Tree National Park and 6 mile drive from Pioneertown. 

With 8+ acres of space, the possibilities are endless. Our simple desert lifestyle nurtures creativity and freedom. While walking through our garden, we welcome guests to pick a few stems of lavender and rosemary. We encourage guests to connect with the natural healing energies of the land, including our signature labyrinth. This ancient symbol relates to wholeness; it encourages strengthening the center of intention, integrity and integration with a shared commitment to the greater good. 

Our goal is to provide an inspiring destination for people to come together, all while disconnecting and discovering the raw and pure qualities of the desert.
