For the healing walk in June we will be doing a meditation at the Humanics Sanctuary and Sculpture Park. There will be equal portions of chanting/meditation, sharing circle with tea and snack, and wood walking. The trail is not very long (about 2-3 km, I think).
Like the last time - I will be asking if there will be any special needs, and any interest in doing meditation for a longer period of time (~30 min).
Everyone who signed up for this walk will be put on the waiting list. I will be selecting from the list, prioritizing ones who have special needs, or practicing chanting. Because we are meditating this time, no pets for this walk please.
Description:
It sounds improbable: Over 60 sculptures from such far-distant places as Zimbabwe, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka transported to a woodsy east-Ottawa enclave with the ambitious objective of elevating human consciousness and goodness. Yet that’s exactly what the Humanics Sanctuary and Sculpture Park in Cumberland is all about.
The sanctuary and park is an inspired and inspiring collection of demanding trails, a snaking ravine, soaring maples and pines, and dozens of niches, terraces, and unexpected promontories where sculptures — some of stone, some of mechanical odds and ends including spark plugs and gears — remind us that such qualities as respect, mercy, and love unite mankind.
The 11-acre site also includes a meditation area of elemental rocks and trees, scattered stone benches, a pond with koi, and a large grassy area. Zones dedicated to major religions include areas for celebrations, ceremonies, and religious services. It is at once serene, provocative, and deeply rejuvenating.
