Sacred Spaces

The Stone Garden

The Stone Garden has old foundation pillars of stone, hand cut by slaves, left when the previous dairy farm owner removed the side bank barn structure of what we call the Bull Barn. We wanted to keep these pillar structures so a step-down space was created as an extension to the pergola area. It is perfect as a ceremonial entry to the meditation garden. It has been used as a sacred space for a smaller weddings using the full moon gate as their altar. It has also been used as a dance floor, a beverage bar, a live music stage, an outdoor retreat space and just plain relaxing. The water fountain in the fish pond, at the garden’s edge, may lull you into a zone of timelessness.

Centered with the Full Moon gate, in the concrete floor, is another of the farm’s play with geometry. This time a Vesica Pisces. In geometry circles a Vesica Pisces is considered a transcendental gateway between spirit and matter. In sacred art one can often see a saintly or Master figure, a Christ, a Buddha, Mother Mary, moving through an almond shaped passageway such as a door. Here in the Stone Garden, it is both holding the space for this as well as being available for the couple publicly sharing their love for the purpose of marriage, to represent the two individuals – their uniqueness and their strengths yet also where they are joining or blending together in the bonding strength of the One Heart.

For in the center, the two join as One, gathering strength from each of their pillars. We invite you to come and stand consciously here with a loved one: a spouse, a partner, a child, a friend, perhaps even yourself with one foot in a circle and the other foot in the other circle and see if you can palpate the energetic bond of “lovelove” becoming “LOVE”. How does it get any better than this?

State of Grace Labyrynth

Inspired by the family of 7 geometries called the Geometries of Love ...sacred technologies for the next octave of human, this modern day hilltop labyrinth has been a 18 year project of love. It covers approximately an acre of ground with a stunning 360 degree view of both the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Alleghenies & nearly 8 counties. Beautiful original sculptures depicting aspects of INFINITE LOVE throughout the interior draw visitors to stop, look, sense, sit, meditate, quietly commune. 

Everything on Mt Grace has been meticulously laid out to mathematical proportions incorporating the Golden Ratio in its interior design. In the laying out of this schematic, our painstaking detail was rewarded with a minute ½ inch of discrepancy. No mean feat! The 576 concrete pavers were all handmade. 

The center design is 4 interwoven golden ratio infinities plus a 'directional rosette'. This is not only a beautiful labyrinth in a gorgeous setting, it is a powerhouse of amazing creation field energy. On May 1st 2022 the golden living prayer labyrinth was unveiled inviting visionary prayers for the future of humanity, for all life everywhere & for the planet.  

The two outer rings have crimson & saffron flags that fly 12 feet high on days of ceremony. Individuals & groups have felt drawn to visit the farm to walk the creative one-of-a-kind design. The walk to this hilltop is approximately 3/4 miles on a old logging road. For overnight guests & retreat guests this is almost always included in the “must-dos”.

Jardin d'OrPhi

The three tiered meditation garden, Jardin d’OrPhi, the Garden of Golden Proportion, is a peaceful garden-like setting serving those drawn to its tranquility. Mathematically laid out in golden ratio proportions and lined with golden proportioned garden sculptures of Antonia’s design, the energy of this space for some is palpable. Even the wind chimes’ musical notes are in a golden ratio. There are benches on each tier of the garden for contemplation. Fire torches line the edges of the 2nd tier’s golden rectangle pyramid. Add solar lights & spotlights on the center golden proportioned sculpture and the atmosphere comes alive. Evening ceremonies are hauntingly beautiful. Whether for yourself or for your retreat group this sanctuary is a place of stillness and magic.
