Blue Heart Sanctuary
At the Blue Heart Sanctuary, We Believe that We are the ones responsible for Creating what is as close as possible to the Experience of Heaven on this Earth.
Sharing sacred land with the SólGaia Center for Illumined Hearts is the non-profit animal rescue organization, Blue Heart Sanctuary. Founded in 2001, the Sanctuary serves as a refuge for both farm and companion animals in need and provides a protective habitat for wildlife on 40 acres in Western North Carolina.
The Sanctuary offers tours and hands-on, experiential learning opportunities for children and families where they can come connect with nature and experience the unconditional love of the animals graced to call the Sanctuary their home.
The organization is dedicated to love in action, peace and compassion and holds space for the rights of ALL animals to live a full & peaceful life. Animals, like people, are precious gifts and thrive in a loving, nurturing environment. The true nature of LOVE shines when we exist as ONE — together in Peace, Love & Harmony.

How it All Began...
With a heart full of love and deep connection to all life, Amma Sól felt the call to be of service to help animals in need by creating a refuge where they could live their lives abundant in love and peace. In 2001, Amma took a leap of faith and founded the Blue Heart Sanctuary, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit, for-service animal rescue organization. The Sanctuary was originally founded in Myakka City, Florida where Amma was an animal cruelty investigator working with the Manatee County Sheriff. Over the years, Amma has facilitated the rescue and rehabilitation of hundreds of animals; many that have experienced unspeakable cruelty and neglect. After a near miss by hurricane Charley, more than 60 farm and companion animals made an exodus from the West coast of Florida to higher ground in the mountains of Western NC.
It was Divinely Orchestrated for them to
find the perfect place... 40 acres of ancient Cherokee land that has become a beacon of Love and Light and a place of Peace for All.
What began as a Sanctuary for animals has evolved and expanded into the creation of the SólGaia Center for Illumined Hearts, a wellness and retreat center where people can come disconnect from the chaos of the outside world; allowing them the opportunity to become immersed in the beauty and wonder of our natural world and feel the unconditional love of the animals.
Come... rest, revive and rejuvenate in the peaceful, loving energies that deeply nourish our souls. Allow this Sacred Cherokee land to Revitalize and Harmonize All Aspects of Your Being.
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.
