Circle Sanctuary is a non-profit organization and legally recognized neopagan church[1] based in southwestern Wisconsin, US. It aims to encourage community celebrations, spiritual healing, research, networking and education.
Circle Sanctuary was founded in 1974 by Selena Fox, and sponsors gatherings and encourages nature conservation, nature meditations and workshops at a range of locations, with the primary site being a 200-acre (0.81 km2) site near Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, set in forested hills.[2] Circle Sanctuary's land is fully owned by Circle Sanctuary Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit.
The organization has been prominent in the campaign to permit the pentacle to be displayed on the gravestones of Wiccan members of the U.S. military, and Selena Fox was one of the plaintiffs in the successful action to obtain this permission.[3] Nine of the gravestones are displayed at the Sanctuary's cemetery at Barneveld, Wisconsin, about 25 miles (40 km) west of Madison.[4]
