“Grateful is a word that comes to mind, grateful that I got to experience every emotion and feeling surrounded by the most incredible healers who created such a safe space for us to be vulnerable all while raising our vibration and tapping into our power. The location, the guests and the food was simply spectacular. This was a weekend I will never forget.“

The 4-Day Byron Bay Retreat

BlueGreen Sanctuary in Byron Bay

Where the sun’s first rays touch Australia is Byron Bay, famous for its iconic beaches and alternative lifestyle, and a hinterland made lush by volcanic soil twenty million years old. Here deep rainforests, stunning waterfalls, hamlets and farmlands share the hills and valleys and sparkling views of the Pacific.

Nestled in the hills twelve minutes outside Byron, the BlueGreen Sanctuary invokes this overflowing beauty into five acres of paradise. A sanctuary that imparts serenity with its sublime landscaping, rolling lawns, gazebo over the lake, terraces and nooks, swings in the rainforest and wild ducks on the lake.

The name itself drew inspiration from its surroundings: ‘blue’ from the huge sky, the distant mountains; and ‘green’ from the rainforest trees, the gentle sloping lawns, the macadamia and coffee plantations that cushion the boundaries.
