Welcome!
Welcome to the website of the Sacred Wind Sanctuary of Universal Life!
Sacred Wind Sanctuary was formed in 2008 with our first public ritual being performed for Yule, and has been enjoying a growing congregation, and great opportunities to serve the community ever since. In early 2009, Sacred Wind Sanctuary Incorporated in the State of New Jersey as a as a 501©(3) Religious Non-profit Church Organization, serving the Central New Jersey and Greater area for all those who follow Earth-based Traditions.
We have been featured in the Asbury Park Press and other media sources, and are the primary facilitators for Central NJ Pagan Pride. Our members and active seekers help to provide for the community as a whole, and take part in our numerous charity food drives, as well as awareness and tolerance initiatives.
We are proud to celebrate the 8 Sabbats common to most Pagan paths, welcoming all respectful seekers, and hope to grow further to incorporate more public ritual and learning.

As the weather is unpredictable, we decided it is in the best interest of everyone to postpone our Yule celebration because of weather. We did previously post it will be on,. but as the storm is taking more of an inland track and moving more slowly, the likelihood of the 20th being a poor driving day is now very high.
We just got off the phone with Southard Grange and postponed our celebration to Dec 27th! The roads may or may not be decent following this storm, so we're not taking chances! So come on out and celebrate Yule with us a lil late SUNDAY DECEMBER 27th, Same place and time!
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and hope to see you out on December 27th!

Samhain was a wonderful success! We made many new friends and got to see lots of familiar faces as well, and all took part in a wonderful ritual to honor those past, and look toward the future. We also announced that we will be forming a Planning Committee which will be open for application to ALL SWS members. This committee will be responsible for planning fundraisers, PR Advertising, future events, and more! Anyone who is interested can contact us to request an application. We want you to be involved! We also announced that with our previous Treasurer Steve stepping down to pursue personal interests (don't worry, he'll still be around), Nicole and John will be stepping up to fill the role as a dual office. Thank you both for your dedication! Finally, with the success of Samhain, we are proud to announce our Second Annual Yule Festival! This festival will be held at Southard Grange Hall on Sunday, December 20th 2009 from 4:30pm - 10:00pm with Ritual beginning PROMPTLY at 6:00pm, no exceptions.
