Reflection Area

 

Please take advantage of the peace and quiet offered by our Reflection Area, located just west of the farm fields. We invite you to drive into the second entrance way and park your vehicle on the grass. The Reflection Area holds our labyrinth, our Peace Pole, a lovely perennial garden, a St. Francis statue in the flower bed, and a bench.

 

The labyrinth is an ancient source of meditation. Canticle Farm has a seven circuit labyrinth which was built in 2004. If you chose to walk the labyrinth, it is a simple exercise with no right or wrong way to walk it. We invite everyone to stop by the reflection area and discover how walking the labyrinth can help clear the mind and bring deep personal insights. For more information about the labyrinth, please read The Harvest Times for the week of June 23, 2008 and the week of August 20, 2007. All Harvest Times Newsletters can be found on the Media page.

The Peace Pole was added to the Reflection Area in the fall of 2007. The word PEACE is written in a different language on each side of the pole. A Peace Pole acts as a silent prayer and message for peace on Earth. The presence of a Peace Pole announces that this is a special place, dedicated to peace on Earth.

 

We encourage you to walk through our Reflection Area to admire the lovely perennial garden and our St. Francis statue in the flower bed. Please feel free to sit a moment on the bench and to enjoy the beauty of nature.

 

The Reflection Area is open to the public to enjoy during daylight hours.
