Nestled on a sprawling 5-acre ranch in Joshua Tree, California, this enchanting retreat boasts two spacious houses surrounded by the mesmerizing beauty of the desert. Wander through the expansive space and feel the serenity as you encounter a small herd of alpacas grazing peacefully, adding a touch of whimsy to the natural landscape.
The ranch offers panoramic views of untamed nature, providing a front-row seat to the mystical allure of sacred desert lands. Immerse yourself in the tranquility of the surroundings, where each breath is filled with the essence of the desert breeze. This haven is a sanctuary, inviting you to unwind and connect with Joshua Tree’s unique energy.
Adding to the allure, discover our Mushroom Church sanctuary nestled on the land, offering a unique and sacred space for reflection and connection with the transformative naure of the desert.
At the Buena Vida Sanctuary, we envisage a deep unity where every human is held in reverence as sacred and divine. Interwoven by a shared consciousness and an enduring spiritual connection, we recognize that everyone is traversing a spiritual journey, embodying the essence of Spirit, beyond the material world. The challenges life presents, fostering our soul’s growth, invite reflection on our intrinsic divinity. Our mission is to strengthen the divine essence within each member and lead them toward spiritual awakening through our unique church services and events.
BVS constitutes a fellowship of spiritual explorers who engage with the Divine through prayer, meditation, ceremonies, and our sacrament of psilocybin mushrooms. Within our Sanctuary, members provide mutual support through shared ceremonies and integration. Our collective aspiration is to pursue Spirit together and mutually enhance our understanding and respect for ourselves, others, and the Divine.
