Welcome to the Sacred Art of Living Center

Sacred Art of Living Center was established in 1996 by Richard and Mary Groves in Bend, Oregon, as a first-of- its-kind non-profit educational institute providing workshops and professional development focused on whole person caregiving. Their vision brought together more than fifty years of experience in professional health care development, depth psychology, end-of- life care, and cultural studies drawn from the world’s great wisdom traditions. All of the Center’s programs build personal resiliency, tools of self-care, skills to help others in all stages of life, and experiences celebrating the beautiful life-journey we all share.

Sacred Art of Living’s Summer Campaign

We are opening our second-annual Summer Campaign! Last year was an enormous success, and we have high hopes for another terrific fundraising effort. We are grateful to the Maybelle Clark Macdonald Fund for the second year of matching funds. Because of increased demands on their foundation during the time of COVID-19, we were awarded a $10,000 matching grant (instead of last year’s $15,000). Fortunately, a friend of SALC offered $5,000 to make up the shortfall so we are back to our original total. The requirements are the same as last year: each donation of $100 or more will be matched dollar-for-dollar.
