The Seed Fund: Planting a New Life
We are raising $15,000 to cultivate the essential roots of our sanctuary. This fund directly supports the rhythm of contemplative silence, the growth of our community farm, and the physical foundation of a new life for all who seek refuge here.
Support our GoFundMe Goal
"Like a single drop of rain, your generosity nourishes the whole forest. Every gift plants a seed of peace for generations to come."
The Impact of Your Generosity
Together, with your generosity, we are strong! Your monetary contribution sustains our mission in these vital ways:
Everyday Life: While we work toward self-sustainability, your gifts cover the ongoing cost of groceries, utilities, internet, and medical care for our residents and visitors.
Securing the Sanctuary: We are actively paying off the mortgage on our 250 acres to ensure this remains a space of peace and reflection for generations to come.
Building the Dream: Your support provides the tools, materials, and labor needed to actualize our vision, from path-work and mowing the lawn to building new guest cabins.
Connecting Hearts: Donations help us make on-site events happen (like Open House luncheons, drum circles, or guest speakers) and cover advertising costs like paper and ink for flyers and newsletters.

Donations in Kind
Services, skills, labor, and materials are extremely welcome. Physical items can be delivered to our facility at 1782 Yanceyville Rd, Louisa, VA 23093. Pick-up can potentially be arranged; please contact Br. Stefan to confirm.
The Garden: We have begun work on a garden primarily by hand. We are seeking working-condition farm equipment, plants, starters, and fruit trees/saplings.
The Workshop: Our goal is a fully stocked workshop. We gladly accept used tools and salvaged building or construction materials.
The Fleet: Because we currently walk our large property by foot, we are seeking a UTV, old farm truck, or garden/golf cart to help transport lumber, gravel, and supplies.
Fun & Leisure: Your donation of books, games, puzzles, and movies provides vital opportunities for community bonding and recreation.
The Gift of Skill: Whether you are a builder, electrician, plumber, artist, or developer, we give thanks for your selfless donation of time and expertise.

Seasonal Stewardship: Winter Sanctuary
The 250 acres require specialized care during the winter months to keep our paths and roads open for seekers. We are currently seeking contributions toward heavy-duty snow plow machines, snow blowers, and ice-management equipment to ensure the safety and accessibility of Sophia House.
