Patch of Heaven Sanctuary invites you to experience what we think are two of the happiest places on Earth, our 20-acre nature sanctuary and our Casa Mariposa (Butterfly House) and the Flight House where we raise, rear & release these magical creatures.We’ll celebrate the United Nations annual release of the World Happiness Report with this day of breaking bread together, experiencing awe together, and learning the mindful practice of Awe, based on the book by the UC Berkeley Greater Good Science Center’s Dacher Keltner.
Perfect for anyone seeking a day to step aside from the bus-y-ness and the business of the day.
Friends, families and anyone walking the path of peace to find their inner joy and connecting with community.
We will picnic, paint and meditate in our 3-hour mindful nature immersion experience, enjoying the science of happiness, wonder & awe together.
“Awe is the feeling of being in the presence of something vast that transcends your understanding of the world,” said Dacher Keltner, a psychologist at the University of California, Berkeley.
Our nature-based mindfulness experiences encourage
Awe + Beauty = Calm.
This is what we call the ABC’s of learning to retune your anxiety by dropping into the stunning spaces at Patch, increasing your calm and helping you reconnect to Nature one mindful walk of wonder at a time.
