THIS IS A VEGETARIAN PEACE SANCTUARY. What you eat or do offsite is your business, but we ask that no animal flesh be consumed please. Thank you for honoring our mission. The Seed of Life ministry is based on the Essene Gospel of Peace and teachings of Yashua Hamashiach (Christ Jesus the Nazarene). Our goal is to provide sanctuary focused on Health, Recovery, Music, Praise, Animal Stewardship, Gardening, Alternative Energy, Self Sufficiency. Find FUN! Recovery and Serenity on Texas Hill Country Wine Trail. 💗 We follow Terrain Theory preventative approach to well-being of our “Living Water” temple. ☀️ We are building community in alignment with Genesis 1:29 holistic practices. 🏗️ Our unrestricted land allows us to bring innovative architecture and permaculture practices into reality. Our Sanctuary includes a young garden and the 'Eye of the Storm' labyrinth which was inspired by the giant spiral at Calico Basin in Red Rock National Conservation Area near Las Vegas. At the center of the labyrinth are Nikola Tesla inspired coiled copper pipes with double terminated crystals to create a vortex. The labyrinth opened on International Peace Day 2022 and is listed on the World Wide Labyrinth Locator. Energy Vortices connect underground within a triangular region between Austin, San Antonio and Llano, Texas. The largest outcropping is 45 minutes away: Enchanted Rock, a massive pink granite dome. The energy spreads south and eastwards from this protected Natural Area through telluric Ley Lines over the Edwards Aquafer – one of the most prolific aquifers in the world. At center of this vortex area is the Texas Wine Trail between Johnson City and Fredericksburg. The Seed of Life Sanctuary is at the center of this zone. Gather for sacred ceremony on a magnificent splay of Limestone and Crystal-Rich granite outcropping along a year-round spring-fed creek. Standing barefoot you can feel the energy. We welcome WWOOF arrangements, longer-stay discounts. and healers of all manners, to join in our quest to create Cosmic Christ Consciousness Heaven on Earth.

Rocky Creek

RV/tent site ¡ Sleeps 4 ¡ Vehicles under 14 ft
PLEASE READ OUR DESCRIPTION FIRST. When you request a campsite, please confirm you innerstand the nature of our retreat center by using the word "veg" in your note. This is our best campsite on the land. This is a relatively level site next to the spring fed crystal clear water year-round creek. There are steps down to the water to dip your feet in and watch the fish and turtles swim by. You are set back from the highway so it is a little more quiet site and you will have privacy except from the sheep and goats that occasionally graze in the neighbors yard across the creek! There is a hammock between 2 trees and there are also nice shady trees in the area.

The Rest Stop

RV/tent site ¡ Sleeps 2 ¡ Vehicles under 14 ft
PLEASE READ OUR DESCRIPTION FIRST. When you request a campsite, please confirm you innerstand the nature of our retreat center by using the word "veg" in your note. We call this site the "Rest Stop" because it is RIGHT OFF THE HIGHWAY. You WILL hear noisy trucks and traffic - which is why it is our most affordable (cheap) campsite. Good News is that Highway 290 is not very busy overnight. It gets quite quiet. This is a relatively level site next to the spring fed clear water year-round creek. The 300 foot road to the spot is dirt - so have a good vehicle that can handle the terrain and a few weeds. You will have good access to the creek via a dirt entrance. Or you could walk off property under the Rocky Creek bridge adjacent to our property to sit in the shade by the water. Depending on the season, you might see the swallowtails or a muscovery duck. FYI The pictures are not up to date. While we have mowed, this site is very lush and overgrown after all the recent rains and floods.

Upper Field

Vehicle site ¡ Sleeps 8 ¡ Vehicles under 34 ft
PLEASE READ OUR DESCRIPTION FIRST. When you request a campsite, please confirm you innerstand the nature of our retreat center by using the word "veg" in your note. This field is right off the highway for easy access with pull-through spaces for up to 3 vehicles-camps to set up if you have a small group. The field is flat and wide and allows pullouts and space to spill out. You will be nestled up against the flood plain ridge that has oak, walnut, hackberry, black walnut and cypress trees along the edge and seasonal wildflowers. It's a short walk to all amenities.
