Our Byron Hinterland Venue
Nestled in the hills twelve minutes outside Byron, the BlueGreen Sanctuary invokes this overflowing beauty into five acres of paradise. A haven that imparts serenity with its rolling lawns, 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.
Handcrafted details enhance the sense of being part of nature; humble materials have been recycled, salvaged and re-imagined in unexpected ways that celebrate a spirit of creativity. A fusion of art and function, distilled to an ethos of simple luxury that nourishes the soul.
Testimonials
-
“I am so grateful for your Rasa Lila Yoga Retreat. It was the perfect pause I needed to gain perspective and find my true self again. Your gentle guidance in helping me find simple ways to implement more joy and self care into my everyday life is a beautiful gift that both myself and my family will feel the benefits of long after the conclusion of the retreat. I not only felt refocused and full of purpose but I felt rested. I think it was due to the perfect balance of time to rest, opportunities for self-care, gentle guidance and education all whilst being immersed in the beautiful surrounds and being nourished with delicious clean vegetarian food. Thank you for creating a space of acceptance, love, and pure magic”

“I had the most beautiful time at the retreat I recently attended run by Cat and Heidi. It was so well organised and every detail was covered. I loved the twice daily yoga, it was just what my body needed. And I loved the free time in the afternoons - we were free to read, spend time in the sun, nap, have a long bath. It was heaven! The food was superb. Everything was just perfect. I will definitely be signing up for another retreat. It was just what my soul needed!”
