Remember Who You Are

We built this place because we needed it too.

Patty and Greg de Vries, founders of Living Well USA
Patty & Greg de Vries

Helping people come home to themselves

For over two decades, we've been doing exactly that. Patty works at the intersection of neuroscience, leadership, and holistic well-being. She maintains the trails at Living Well and leads teams back to fulfilling work.

Greg has been teaching meditation since 1999. Through MeditationCoach.com, he has guided thousands of people to stillness through breathwork, guided meditation, and the simple, radical act of slowing down. His work isn't a discipline for the already-disciplined. It's a return to the quiet that was always there.

Together, we steward 4.5 acres of mountain sanctuary in the Santa Cruz Mountains above Los Gatos, elevated above the fog, with views stretching to Monterey Bay and the Pacific. Ancient redwoods. A 2,000-square-foot deck floating above the forest canopy. A natural well. Birdsong that settles nervous systems before the first session even begins.

People arrive depleted
and leave expanded.

The land is part of that. We think of it as the third facilitator. When leaders are given beauty, stillness, and skilled guidance, they don't fall behind. They catch up: to themselves, to each other, to what actually matters.

Since 2004

Welcome to Our Heaven on Earth

Since 2004, this land has drawn us in and shown us, season after season, the magic of the Santa Cruz Mountains. We have mindfully nurtured it, cultivating a space that reflects the beauty and peace we wish to share with others. In 2016, we opened our hearts and this space to host spiritual, educational, and celebratory events. What began as a vision has blossomed into a community of shared experiences, welcoming visitors from around the world.

Living Well USA has transformed alongside each of us and those who have graced us with their presence. Together, we have celebrated milestones, explored spiritual truths, and discovered new paths to growth. Each event and every guest enriches this land, leaving behind a legacy of connection and renewal. It is our honor and joy to continue this journey, creating a space where individuals and teams can gather, grow, and share their unique gifts.

Thank you for being part of the Living Well story.
With gratitude, Greg & Patty
