Located in the heart of Arthur’s Town, the Capital of Cat Island you will find The Sanctuary at Ocean Soul Farm. The Sanctuary is a resilience and heritage community centre that cultivates a safe and fun place for learning new skills that support sustainable development. The resilience and heritage center has a library and reading room, an art room, and a classroom and welcomes students of all ages. Phase two of The Sanctuary’s development includes the construction of a hydroponics farm and the SCUBA diving gear and training facility.
