The Peace Garden was brought into existence for the benefit of all by followers of Amma, known by some as “the hugging and ecology Saint”
These followers prayed for guidance as to how to fulfill their higher purpose and were given the message to create a gateway for peace at the base of Mt. Shasta. In August of 2002, the land was consecrated and the garden begun.
Over the years it has expanded again and again, driven by the love and the kind hearts of those who find their way there.
The grounds are beautiful, situated amidst naturally fragrant manzanita and cedar, infused by powerful oak. There are multiple small grottoes formed by copses of trees and shrubs, each one dedicated to a different manifestation of spirit.

are just some of the copses I discovered as I strolled through on a cool, early spring morning.
Too early in the season for the blooming which must make the garden breathtaking, it was still captivating.
A labyrinth infused by all kinds of powerful crystals, stones, shells, and petrified wood lies at the center of the garden.
I found myself alone on the grounds today so was able to take my time walking this labyrinth.
It was deeply moving; when I reached the purple prayer ribbon someone had tied to a branch which overhangs one of the outer rings, I found myself overcome with tears. 
The message reads, “The Truth of You–You are more powerful than any circumstance, situation, Believe and it will be true. I love you, the Universe.”
These tears were soon replaced by a sense of peace and joy as I retraced my steps, seeing each stone, each holy fragment from the reverse angle.
This garden is free to everyone. Sincere light workers and devotees of peace find their way, share their intentions, absorb the love and hope which the garden amplifies. As I was leaving, a doe stepped out from behind an oak to meet me. We looked at one another for several long moments before I continued on my way, leaving her to her sanctuary.
The Gateway is open from sunrise to sunset.
What a remarkable place! This must have posted just after I he3aded to bed and was a delightful way to start my morning today. It’s been much too long since I’ve walked a labyrinth (we tried to raise the funds to get a permanent one installed on our campus before I retired but weren’t successful), so most of my experience is with a canvas labyrinth set up inside a black box theatre.
It’s an incredible gift, that garden.
