Building Solara Sanctuary -
a place for healing, land stewardship, and community.

We’re Melissa and Jesse, the heart and hands behind Solara Sanctuary — a homestead and healing space built from love, reclaimed wood, and a deep desire to live in harmony with the Earth.

​

Before this chapter, we spent over a decade in the fast-paced world of business, leading our company Creative Global since 2009. We helped brands grow, launched movements, and inspired countless people to rise to their full potential. It was meaningful work — but eventually, we felt something stirring inside.

A call home.

After years of creating for others, we realized it was time to create something for humanity itself.
So in 2024, we followed that call and began building Solara Sanctuary — a place of renewal, sustainability, and simple living.

​

Here, our focus is on what truly matters:
🌿 Growing real food through our farm-to-table homestead
🔥 Creating intimate retreats that inspire healing and connection
🌞 Building a future summer camp for youth — a safe, imaginative space for creativity, life skills, and emotional growth.

​

Every board we raise and seed we plant is part of this new beginning — one that’s smaller, slower, and infinitely more meaningful.

​

Maybe you knew us from our Creative Global days, met us at an event, or simply found us by chance — however you arrived, we’re so glad you’re here.

​

This is more than our story — it’s a shared journey of returning home to what matters most: love, community, and the Earth.

​

We’d love to have you walk this path with us. 🌻
