About – Eastern Sun Sanctuary

Adventure With Us.

Discover the tranquility of The Eastern Sun Temple, where simplicity meets nature. Enjoy rustic comfort, basic amenities, and a digital detox in this alcohol-free space surrounded by natural beauty.

We exist to serve the soul and provide awakening tools for humanity.

As we tread through these uncertain times, it is important to remain grounded, be in community and be taking action to nourish ourselves. The vision came to Dustin during a Vippasana meditation retreat to create a dharma center in the mountains to share meditation. It has now become a spiritual center for meditation, breathwork, yoga, rite of passage events for youth and a place for friends to gather. It is also a portal to the pristine nature that surrounds us. We creating a new paradigm for recreation so we are giving back to mother earth. Opportunities include hiking, skiing, wildcrafting, e-biking and practicing unconventional forest regeneration techniques.
