The octagonal structure built from beautiful stone, is a non-denominational meditation space with  incredible acoustics for singing and toning. It has 4 stain glass windows representing the major religious traditions. A green one representing indigenous nature-centered faith, a blue for Hinduism \u0026amp; Buddhism, a yellow for  Christianity \u0026amp; Judaism, and red representing Islam \u0026amp; Sufism. It has a final stain glass window on the ceiling featuring woven hearts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe sanctuary is situated on the Pukewhakataratara mountain and is part of Mana Retreat Center, which I visited recently for a herbal medicine retreat. Being at Mana for those 3 days felt like I was at a ceremonial Hogwarts. Making potions and studying herbology with the most magical French medicine woman, my friend Clio Meyer! I will treasure those days and definitely recommend the experience of a retreat at Mana. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you're interested in my dreamy scene of the Sanctuary, the original is available and I will have prints available next month.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you are interested in viewing this original at my Whitianga home studio, feel free to get in touch.
