Earth Sanctuary: A Nature Reserve, Meditation Parkland and Sculpture Garden

Earth Sanctuary is blessed to have so many spiritual people stay in our Retreat House.  It is very gratifying to read the comments from guest retreatants after their stay.  Here are several comments from the Fall of 2008.

• A place of natural beauty and peace, restoring, healing and rejuvenating!  -Karen N. Johnstone
• Beautiful ecological design and intention of sacred spaces.  Loved the Medicine Wheel!
• Peaceful, beautiful spaces that speak to the inner needs.  I loved all of the sacred spaces, especially the Cottonwood Stone Circle.
• This was a wonderful space to do my solo healing retreat.  The House is easy to live in.  The sacred places on the Earth Sanctuary grounds are ripe for meditation, healing, solitude.  – R.R.
• I’m in the middle of a “difficult time” in my life and coming up here has facilitated the re-connection with myself.  The silence, the sounds of nature, the wilderness, the air have nurtured me during these days.  This place offers all the tools you possibly need to work in your inner growth.  I am pretty sure that from here we are not only  healing our own souls, but also sending a wave of love, peace, and consciousness to the whole universe.  – Diana Castano

The Cottonwood Stone Circle stones are Columbia River Basalt columns.  When the cut stones are dry, they are gray in color.  When they get wet, they are black!
