Resonate Sunshine is More Than a Name.
It's a Way of Being.
Plants drink in sunshine through photosynthesis, storing light to share. We are nourished by this stored sunshine and our innate light, and from it, we can resonate love, peace, and joy.
At Resonate Sunshine, we
- reconnect with our innate and wild spirituality,
- restore and celebrate holistic wellness,
- regenerate and cultivate community and planet,
- live in harmony with nature and each other.
On forty acres nestled in the Ouachita National Forest in Blue Ball, Arkansas, we’re cultivating a living sanctuary with regenerative permaculture, wellness retreats, and intentional community.
We ensure fair share for all and Resonate Sunshine so that every being can flourish naturally and radiate wellness into the universe.
Reconnect with Our Innate and Wild Spirituality
Across traditions and throughout time, spiritual leaders have sought wisdom in the arms of the wild; among forests, rivers, mountains, and stars. Rediscover how to commune with nature and receive messages for you.

Our Vision Stems from:
Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu
May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all.
This ancient Sanskrit mantra is the basis of Resonate Sunshine. It’s why we care for the earth, practice wellness, and live a life of companionship. Every breath, every action, every center is an expression of this single, radiant wish: that all beings (human, plant, animal, fungal, soil, water, sky) flourish naturally and radiate wellness (though we still question mosquitos and ticks).
Summarizing
Our Mission and Creed in action:
Bhakti Bhu-Sakhya Dharma: Vive Lux Divina in Harmonia Terrae, Sanitas, et Communitate
Devotional Sacred Earth Stewardship: Live Divine Light in Harmony with Earth, Wellness, and Community
How Do We Translate this Sacred Language into Lived Devotion?
Bhakti: Sanskrit: Devotion, Love, Sacred Service
Our stewardship flows from devotion and love. Bhakti is the heart of all our practices. We serve the earth, our community, and all beings with love, reverence, and spiritual dedication. Every action - tending the soil, sharing a meal, facilitating a practice - becomes an act of devotion to the divine.
Bhu-Sakhya Dharma: Sanskrit: Earth + Companion + Sacred Duty
Bhu (earth) is not separate from the sacred; it is the sacred made manifest and we are called to to sacred companionship with the land and all it holds. Through regenerative agriculture, soil cultivation, and ecological restoration, we fulfill our dharma or cosmic duty to care for and honor the planet that sustains life as we would for a beloved friend.
Vive Lux Divina: Latin: Live Divine Light
We carry divine light within us and within the earth. We are not separate from the sacred; we are expressions of it. Our spiritual practices, rituals, and retreats are invitations to rekindle this light in ourselves and in the world, to remember what we may have forgotten through the busyness and separation of modern life. Every being, every plant, every particle of soil radiates the divine. We live to reawaken and honor this truth and light in all beings.
In Harmonia Terrae: Latin: In Harmony With Earth
Reconnecting with nature rekindles our innate and wild spirituality. The forests, rivers, mountains, and stars are teachers and mirrors of the sacred. We commit to living in harmony with the earth, honoring all beings, and ensuring that our actions regenerate rather than deplete, understanding that our wellness and the earth's wellness are one and the same.
Sanitas: Latin: Wellness, Wholeness, Health
Wellness is the truest form of wealth. We understand wellness holistically: spiritual, mental, physical, communal, and universal. It flows from our reconnection with the divine and the gifts of nature. Separation from these creates dis-ease; right relation restores us. Through our practices, retreats, and community offerings, we offer pathways to this restoration of holistic wellness.
Et Communitate: Latin: And Community
We are not meant to walk this path alone. Just as plants thrive in ecosystems, humans thrive in intentional communities where we live in harmony with one another and share resources fairly. In community, we weave together our gifts, deepen our relationships, and co-create abundance for all. Together, we Resonate Sunshine.

Resonate Sunshine was a most welcome place of respite on our journey across the country. [They] truly love the land and have a wealth of wisdom about the interconnectedness of living joyfully and mindfully with Mother Earth. From abundant gardens and greenhouse to pond and animals, we enjoyed yoga, long walks in nature, bathing in the springs, and the most delicious and unique vegan food we’ve ever tasted! We highly recommend this oasis...and will definitely be back.
Thank you for these amazing experiences I would've never come across if I weren't here...
What started as a simple curiosity about permaculture and a search for a warm place to explore during my winter break turned into a meaningful journey where I learned so much about life.
My spirit is refreshed thanks to Resonate Sunshine. I am ready to build the best year yet--to stay connected to Spirit and my higher self, to serve others, to live in gratitude, and to always remember to be in the here and now. Thank you for reminding me once more what is most important in life
Awesome experience that I learned through gardening herbs, fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, spending time with animals practicing yoga etc. to connect nature and find peace within myself. They shared with us how to make nutritious diet to keep good health, I share these knowledge with my friends. They're hardworking, kind, made us feel at home.
