For the best experience, impact, and understanding of Earth Sanctuary's
sacred spaces and this contribution to Earth Energy, it is highly
advised to take a guided tour by founder Chuck Pettis.
To say that a day or even an hour at Earth Sanctuary is inspiring
is not saying enough. My last visit included a tour for some fellow
entrepreneurs by ES founder Chuck Pettis, and we had the opportunity
to walk his talk: We meditated in the Dolmen, we walked the labyrinth,
some of us participated in sacred time in the Native American
medicine wheel, we felt the power of a precisely placed and built
stone circle, and we all spun the prayer wheels as much as we
could. After our visit, we drove to our various homes and offices
recharged, renewed, and ready to be involved in our personal work
in the world. We were so overwhelmed with the wonder of how one
man could put his dreams into such sacred use, that we all want
to be missionaries, if there is such a thing, for this place.

Earth Sanctuary is a remarkable place with sacred spaces in settings
of natural beauty. Our group of healthcare professionals, all
experienced meditators, was guided by Chuck Pettis. Chuck combined
commentary on the development of the nature preserve and sacred
spaces with a series of brief meditations in each space. These
spaces have a palpable power that was enhanced by the group meditations,
leaving us with a sense of both awe and serenity. It was a remarkable
afternoon for all of us.
