Who We are

We are longtime best friends who show the f*** up.
For each other, for our goals, and for the life we’re creating. We crave the high of pushing our limits and the deep exhale that comes after.

Adventure is at the core of who we are. We want to push, climb, trek—then savor the peace of wild places, soaking in the beauty of where we’ve been. We live for deep connection and the magic of shared experiences. Sanctuary & Summit was born from our love of the wild—both within and around us.

Sarah is rooted in Joshua Tree, carrying the spirit of the desert wherever she roams. Her life is shaped by adventure, simplicity, and connection — her summers are spent living out of her van, swimming in rivers, making art, and forming lasting friendships along the way.

Climbing has been a huge part of Sarah’s life for over a decade. She’s been a professional rock climbing guide for more than five years. She has helped host numerous women’s climbing retreats and soulful gatherings, where she’s found joy in supporting others as they tap into their own strength.

With a background in cooking and a deep love for good food, Sarah believes that sharing a meal might just be her love language.

Through Sanctuary & Summit, she creates space for others to explore their edges, find stillness, and embrace the wild beauty of both grit and grace.

Lexa is nomadic at heart— calling both Joshua Tree and Boulder home, she draws inspiration from the balance between desert stillness and mountain adventure.

With over seven years of experience in retreat settings, she has a deep love for creating spaces that foster connection, restoration, and growth.

A lover of adventure, ceremony, wildflowers, the changing of the seasons, and the feeling of sunshine on her skin, she finds joy in movement—hiking rugged trails, swimming in wild waters, and exploring the world with curiosity and wonder.

A seeker of everyday magic, she weaves ritual into daily life through tea ceremonies, intentional gatherings, and moments of stillness.

Through Sanctuary & Summit, she invites others to move, explore, and reconnect with themselves and the world around them.

Together, we are
Sanctuary & Summit

We believe in movement as medicine, nature as a sanctuary, and community as the foundation of a rich, meaningful life. Our vision is to bring people together for adventure, reflection, and the kind of soul-deep connection that lingers long after the trip ends. This is more than just a journey — it’s a way of life. And we can't wait to share it with you.
