Wildberry Sanctuary is a place to connect...

 

to yourself, your family, to nature, and the amazing animals that reside here.  We have designed the sanctuary to help strengthen these important connections, reawaken our inner wonder, provide a peaceful refuge, and nurture our creative and curious exploration, all on our 80 acre farm in Barnardsville, NC. 

Presently, we cultivate these connections through two programs, our summer day camp, Camp Wildberry, and Wildberry Therapy, which offers individual and family therapy, as well as EMDR Intensives.

At Wildberry Sanctuary we imagine a world where foster children are given all the support they need to heal from trauma, find a forever home, and grow into successful adults. We envision foster parents who are fully informed on trauma and its effects on children, have the tools and support they need to effectively parent children with challenging behaviors, and have opportunities for fun and to be playful with those in their care.

Wildberry Sanctuary works to support this vision by creating a haven where foster children can cultivate stronger connections to siblings and foster/adoptive families, learn strategies to manage intense emotions, engage in joyful and physically challenging experiences to increase happiness and self-esteem, and have their love and awe of nature reawakened. We also offer families education and support to help them be successful foster parents. For more information, please email us at info@wildberrysanctuary.com .
