we are a community rooted in love, remembrance,and sacred care.

Sanctuary of Love is a nonprofit, faith-based spiritual sanctuary located just outside Orlando, Florida.
Founded in 2020 by Xiomara Avila, our church exists to provide a safe and compassionate space for those called to explore deep healing, spiritual growth, and ancestral remembrance.

We are not a retreat center or a wellness provider. We are a spiritual community devoted to sacred ceremony, integration, and the awakening of divine connection within.

Your time at the Sanctuary of Love is not a service—it is a spiritual passage.

A sacred return to your body, your soul, your truth, and your Creator.

a sacred path of healing

we believe healing is not just possible—it is sacred

Through communion with Earth Medicines, we open portals to transformation and deeper understanding. These sacraments serve not only as tools for healing trauma, depression, anxiety, and PTSD—they also reconnect us to the Divine Source within and around us.

We honor the ancient traditions that have safeguarded these medicines for thousands of years, and we walk this path with humility, responsibility, and deep respect for our ancestors and their wisdom.

a message from our founder

I didn’t grow up feeling connected to Spirit.
I spent much of my life searching—carrying pain I didn’t have words for, trying to survive a world that had hurt me in ways I couldn’t explain. Years of abuse left deep wounds. I turned to drugs and alcohol to cope, not knowing there was another way.
In 2017, that began to change. I sat with Ayahuasca for the first time, and in that sacred space, I remembered.
I remembered who I was.
I forgave what I never thought I could.
I released the heaviness that lived in my body and found a version of myself I had never met—one full of love, clarity, and deep purpose.
That experience opened a path that I now walk every day. Through sacred ceremony, prayer, and communion with Earth Medicines, I came home to myself. And in doing so, I found my calling: to hold space for others on their path of remembrance.
Sanctuary of Love was born from that calling.
This church is not about hierarchy, dogma, or superiority. It is a sacred home for those who are ready to heal, ready to remember, and ready to return to the Divine that lives within.
We honor the medicines as sacraments.
We honor the Earth as our teacher.
And we believe that unconditional love is not something to earn—it is your birthright.
Here, you are seen.
You are heard.
You are sacred.
If you feel the call, I welcome you—with all of my heart.
