What we’re about
A Nonprofit Organization
Welcome to Dawn: A Center for Stillness and Peace. Dawn, a sanctuary to reconnect with that still, small voice within, and attune more deeply to the heartbeat of our Mother, the Earth. Located on 100+ acres of sacred land near Jones Gap State Park in South Carolina. Only 35 minutes from Greenville, SC and 54 minutes from Asheville, NC.
(Please note that most events have over 30 attendees, many who are not on meetup)
Dawn began with a powerful vision of First Light, that beckons us to become one within and with all Life. Today, Dawn is cultivating a community of individuals who share that same vision. At DAWN you belong – you are safe.
Our Purpose
As a center for stillness and peace, Dawn invites guests to quiet the external noise and distractions of the world, access their inner wisdom, and uncover that still, small voice within. Through silent retreats, classes, and events, our sanctuary offers guests an opportunity to observe the rhythm of nature, connect with the heart of the world, and foster a greater reverence for life.
