HISTORY OF TERRAMUSE

Terramuse Wellness Sanctuary was founded in 2019 by David O’Donaghue. He came to Iowa considering retirement from starting up elective educational programs in North Carolina, Baltimore and New Orleans.

Upon arriving in Iowa he fell in love with the 47 acres of pristine rolling hills, prairie, woods and waterways in which the facility now stands. He then imagined himself the designer and architect of a campus within which retreats, workshops, and family gatherings could be hosted. He was able to carry out his dream with an expert team of builders.

The outdoor sacred site spaces pay homage to spiritual traditions and travels that informed his own practices and interests.

David is pleased to share his dream with others and hopes that they find inspiration in their own immersive experiences.
