Essential Elements - A Sanctuary for the Soul

Our garden inspires reflection on the intimate connection between human beings and the natural world. In an increasingly modern and urban society, our garden serves as a respite and reminder of the unity all life has to offer through the primal elements. A meandering stream brings the vitality and life force of water to the ears and eyes as it flows through the garden. A lighted dome will receive and refresh the stream's end with a custom blown glass water drop suspended above, representing emotion, the womb, the creative power and potential in the human spirit, and the essential nature of water in our lives. Our meditation deck offers a space for quiet reflection and introspection. We incorporate the often unseen wonder of the elemental earth with a section of transparent floor where once can observe the microbial ecosystem of the subterranean world. Our garden features native plants, low voltage lighting and above all a space where one can connect deeply and intimately with the majesty of the elements, inspiring a spirit of preservation, conservation and interdependence with the natural world.
