Nestled in the hills twelve minutes outside Byron, the BlueGreen Sanctuary invokes this overflowing beauty into five acres of paradise.

Attendee Testimonials
“One of the most inspiring and deep experiences of my life.
An incredible journey that touched the deepest yearnings of your heart and soul.”
“I went on a deep shamanic journey, where I navigated between the intrapersonal (knowing myself) and interpersonal (knowing others), I drifted from light to shadow to witness the beauty and magic of my life exactly as it is.
“This weekend was an absolute gift and a prayer answered, a strong reminder of taking the time to listen deeply… to re-inspire ourselves, to heal ourselves, and in doing so, to heal the world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
