ABOUT
Solara Sanctuary is a nonprofit homestead and healing space rooted in land, animals, and human connection.
Who We Are
We’re Melissa and Jesse.
After years of working, building, and living in fast-paced systems, we chose a different path — one rooted in land stewardship, honesty, and shared responsibility.
Melissa is a guide, healer, and catalyst for change who believes that true transformation starts from within. Her life’s work is now devoted to healing humanity, protecting the Earth, and leading others whoa are ready toward conscious living.
Jesse is a master problem solver and intuitive teacher who blends logic and intuition to offer guidance, solutions, and profound insights. He stands as a pillar of strength, helping to lay the foundation of Solara Sanctuary and guiding others toward truth and growth.
Why Solara Sanctuary Exists
Solara Sanctuary began with a simple knowing:
that something slower, more human, and more connected to the land was needed.
Not a retreat center.
Not a brand.
Not a finished place.
But a living sanctuary — built with care, patience, and community.
We didn’t arrive at Solara with a master plan or unlimited resources.
We arrived with a willingness to learn, to build slowly, and to let the land and the work shape us as much as we shape it.
Solara is not something we “run.”It’s something we are building alongside others, one step at a time.

What Solara Is — and What It Isn’t
Solara is:
A nonprofit homestead and healing space
Built from raw land with limited resources
Focused on land, animals, people, and presence
Growing through community support, not scale
Solara is not:
-
A finished destination
-
A luxury retreat
-
A quick project
-
A place built for spectacle
How We’re Building
Solara is being built slowly and intentionally.
We prioritize:
-
Learning as we go
-
Sharing what works and what doesn’t
-
Respecting the land and the animals in our care
-
Creating space for people to contribute in ways that feel aligned
This means progress may look quieter than other projects —
but it’s grounded, real, and sustainable.
Why Community Is Central
Solara isn’t about us.
It’s about remembering how things are built when people care for one another, share knowledge, and take responsibility together.
Community support makes it possible for this place to exist — not just financially, but emotionally and practically.
Whether someone joins quietly, learns
alongside us, or supports the build directly,
each role matters.
