Share the Gift of Rest

Your support sponsors amenities and stays for more women.

Your Sisters Need You

Your generosity throws a lifeline to women facing overwork, burnout, or serious crises and conflicts:

  • Mothers, wives, and other caregivers who are physically and emotionally drained after spending years thinking only of the needs of others
  • Women struggling to find God’s perspective on a difficult family relationship
  • Women seeking a sense of identity and purpose in the wake of a major loss or life transition
  • Survivors of betrayal and infidelity who need space to recover, sort through their emotions, and navigate their future

Too often, Christian women feel invisible and unheard. Your support will help restore their hope and show them they matter and are seen by the Lord

This is Your Sanctuary. Follow Along.

What Guests Say

"So much is expected of women: to be strong capable wives and mothers, have a career, hold everything together for everyone in the family. After domestic abuse and the loss of my church and support system, I was devastated. My greatest healing came from retreats and time with God. New Song Sanctuary has a beautiful and invaluable mission to provide a place for this."

Cathryn Couzens, Connecticut


"As someone who advocates for and provides counseling for victims of domestic abuse, New Song Sanctuary is what many women need to find rest and relief. Gwendolyn Hertzler’s loving care, attention to detail, and provision for hurting women is a gift of God—an extension of His heart. New Song Sanctuary meets a very real need.

Sydney Millage, MABC, founder of Clarity in Action Ministries


"I was so excited to hear about Gwen's New Song Sanctuary, because I know her heart for struggling women and her wisdom to help them. New Song will be an oasis in the wilderness for many, and a place of healing for weary souls."

Joy Forrest , founder of Called to Peace Ministries
