Meditation
The Memorial Meditation Garden on the Wade Avenue side of the sanctuary was created to be a peaceful, beautiful location for private meditation. Designed by Mac Hulslander (a member who is also a landscape designer), the garden combines elements of Japanese landscape design and North Carolina native species. The spot is hallowed by the ashes of some of our members.
Some members find the courtyard near the Peace Pole and the sunny deck behind Pilgrim House to be quiet locations for prayer.
The sanctuary is open for meditation on Good Friday and at other times of the year. In 2008 the youth prepared a temporary labyrinth during Lent - we hope this becomes a tradition. |
