A Sacred Space to
Learn, Grow & Connect
About Us
Sharanam is a Sanskrit word meaning sanctuary or refuge
And that is exactly what we hope you will find here. A place to take a step back from the world and your daily life. A place to stop for a while, to reconnect with the beauty around and inside of you.
Sharanam started many years ago as a dream that kept bubbling up to create a sacred space for people to learn, grow and come together. Now that dream has become a reality and is growing bigger every day.
We have been blessed with 5 beautiful acres to tend nestled between the river and the forest in rural Oregon. Now more than ever, we need to build community based in love. We our honored to be creating a sanctuary for people to dive deeper and get lost in nature while finding their true selves.
We are a safe space and welcome you exactly as you are!
Our goal is to make this work accessible to all, please contact us if cost is keeping you from joining us.
Connect to your wild woman roots as we sing together in a community of sisterhood.
Feel free to bring a drum, rattle or any other instrument you have.
No singing experience needed, the beauty is in our combined voices.
This is a donation based offering
Create deep and meaningful connections within a community of other women. Sing, laugh, cry and share experiences in a safe space filled with love, support and growth.
