Welcome to The Refuge Blog: A Home for Stories That Heal

Stories are powerful. Stories spark imagination, connect us to the deepest truths, inspire us to dream big, connect us powerfully to people we will never meet, and even allow us to time-travel to the past and future.

At The Refuge, we’ve always believed in the sacredness of showing up fully—raw edges and all. Whether around a campfire, during a circle of repair, or in the daily rhythms of building something beautiful together, we are a community shaped by stories. Stories of resilience. Of love. Of return.

This blog is a new chapter in our unfolding story.

We’re creating this space not just to share news or updates, but to offer glimpses into the heart of The Refuge. You’ll hear reflections from our staff, spiritual insights from our leadership, behind-the-scenes moments from our programs, and the voices of those who’ve found transformation here.

Our hope? That this blog becomes a digital fireside. A place to rest, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most.

We know that the world can feel overwhelming. But we also know this: when we come together with courage and tenderness, even the most broken places can become holy ground.

Thank you for walking with us. We’re so glad you’re here.

With deep gratitude,

Rev. Logan Bennett

Director of Transformational Programs
