15 sites · Lodging, Tents40 acres · Green Mountain, NC
In the chaos of this world.... an oasis of Peace exists. SólGaia is Calling. Come... Pause... Align. Open Your Heart to Unconditional Love. Restore and revitalize all aspects of your being. The Peace you've been longing for is here. Nestled on 40 pristine acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina, SólGaia offers an opportunity to step away from the densities of our world. We share this extraordinary land with the Blue Heart Animal Sanctuary, a For-Service, 501 (c)3 animal rescue organization that cares for both "farm" and companion animals. Surrounded by a dense forest, SólGaia features 2 koi ponds, mountain streams, massive moss covered rocks, quartz and mica. Even those not in tune with subtle energies, can feel the high vibration frequencies that have been cultivated here. We support ecologically sound practices as stewards of this sacred Cherokee land and conservation of wildlife; believing that the Earth and ALL life are interrelated, and that reverence and respect for ALL life is imperative for World Peace. Ahimsa, the highest form of Universal Love and Compassion is an unconditional sense of belonging and connection to everyone and everything. Aligned with this philosophy, we follow and recommend Dr. Will Tuttle's "World Peace Diet." Our ultimate intention is to Be the beacons of Love we are and join together co-creating Heaven on Earth. May Peace and Love Prevail.
