Lotus Bend Sanctuary

**PLEASE SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO TOUR THE FACILITY • Not Open to the General Public**

Nestled on seven acres at the end of a small secluded neighborhood and 1000's of acres at the far end of Mopac, this little spot is just about 20 minutes from central Austin, yet worlds away from the frantic pace of the city. On a dry/wet watershed in the "bend" of Little Bear Creek, there is vertically no visual contact with the outside, rendering it a wonderful canvas for opening up to the raw elements of nature. We are a small day retreat and workshop center with a a few close quarter and private sleeping accommodations for overnight and weekend guests and participants. We host special events, as well as host other guest facilitators for their own private gatherings.

Lotus Bend is a private facility. We offer the beautiful land, rich in peace and wisdom, and the meeting spaces as a home for community groups and events that foster healing, personal development, and spiritual awakening. This feeds a flow that extends beyond the land to create positive change in the world by fostering deep compassion, gratitude, joy, love, and a unity mindset. At its heart, Lotus Bend is a sacred place, a sanctuary for inward reflection, intra- and inter-personal connection and healing, meditation, ritual, rest, play, reconciliation, and communion. It's a dream...a commitment to inspire a more inclusive and unified society for all. Our emblem—the lotus flower—reminds us that we emerge from the primordial clay through the waters of experience, rise up, and blossom into the bright sunshine of awakening…but for a brief period.
