The Sanctuary
Rising Earth is a consciously curated space by Christine Jude Winus weaving the elements of earth and water to hold the structure and foundation of support for those who feel the call to emerge in the healing arts of bodywork, ceremony and mentorship stewarding the transformation process of rebirth for individual and collective impact.
The sanctuary at Rising Earth sits and the edge of the Wappinger Creek. The waters serve as a supportive element for all who gather here. Water teaches us that life is fluid and moves in many ways and shapes the structure of our being. Living earth water is a symbolic gesture of the living waters within our bodies. When we commune and interact with our living waters, we begin to create a new conversation with the life that moves through us and are thus offered an invitation to be an active participant in the way we allow water to shape our lives through our bodies.
The Wappinger Creek waters flowing alongside the sanctuary
Nestled along the Wappinger Creek, the Sanctuary at Rising Earth Healing Arts offers a place to slow down and allow our bodies to soften and unfurl. Light moves through the trees and across the water, shifting with the seasons and inviting a natural rhythm back into the body.
Just beyond the treatment rooms, the three-season sunroom opens to the creek ~ a quiet space to sit, breathe, and integrate from April through October. This is an environment designed to support your nervous system and the body’s inherent capacity for healing. If you feel called to gather here in an intimate way ~ to host a small circle, seasonal ritual, or restorative evening with your community, the Sanctuary may be available for thoughtfully aligned use.
This space holds room for meaningful connection.
A Warm Embrace
The sanctuary at Rising Earth Healing Arts was created with the intention that it feel like a warm embrace when one walks through the threshold. Christine is a kinesthetic learner and she thrives in environments that convey a sense of softness and grace. This is one of the intentions that fueled the creative design of the sanctuary.
Every nook of the sanctuary tells a story of the journey she has taken on her path as a mother, visionary, bodywork therapist, ceremonialist and a mentor serving women who wish to return to their inner truth through their womb and bodies. Christine believes that healing and transformation doesn’t need to be sterile and clinical, or a struggle in fact the most profound and deepest healing comes from being emerged within the simplicities of Nature.
Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna
The infrared sauna at Rising Earth offers deep, steady warmth in a quiet, creekside setting. Unlike a busy spa environment, your time here feels personal and unrushed and more like stepping into a peaceful retreat than checking into an appointment. Warm wood, soft lighting, create space for your nervous system to truly settle. The heat works gently yet effectively, supporting circulation, detoxification, and full-body restoration.

Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy at Rising Earth is offered within the quiet rhythm of the Sanctuary ~ warm, softly lit, and intentionally unhurried. The space feels more like being welcomed into a peaceful home than entering a busy wellness center, allowing you to settle in and truly rest.
I use the Platinum BioMax 600, a high-quality, medical-grade LED panel designed to support cellular vitality, skin health, muscle and joint comfort, and overall recovery. You may choose to add red light therapy to a massage or bodywork session to deepen restoration, or book it on its own for focused renewal.
