GreenSong Sanctuary
Slocan, British Columbia,
Canada
 GreenSong Sanctuary is located on 157 acres in beautiful Slocan BC. The property ranges from the Slocan River to Perry's Ridge, at the foot of Valhalla Provincial Park. GreenSong includes: an acre of cultivated gardens, two large barns, a four seasons greenhouse, camping facilities and a farmhouse for seminars and classes. There is a bird sanctuary on an island in the river in front of the farm.
Our goal at Greensong is to create a thriving community centered on the integration of permacultural concepts, natural building, organic animal husbandry, wellness and healing, raw and gourmet food preparation and artistic expression. We believe that all facets of life can be approached as a form of art, and that it is important for us to live in the fullness of our human potential.
