Amitabha Stupa & Meditation Journey
FOR GROUPS UP TO SEVEN
2 Hours
Your Aumbase guide will lead you in meditation at the beautiful Amitabha Stupa and Peace Park. Journey within and cultivate deeper self-awareness. Meditation offers many proven benefits for mental and physical health. General meditation and mindfulness research shows meditation can change the actual structure of the brain. People who have a practice of meditation also report lower levels of stress, anxiety, depression and chronic pain.
The Amitabha Stupa and Peace Park is an outdoor venue for prayer, meditation, and quiet contemplation. In this sacred place, you will find 2 Buddhist stupas, a Native American medicine wheel and walking trails and numerous quiet spots for meditation. Stupas are an ancient form of sacred architecture that represent the heart of enlightenment as a radiating presence that transmits blessings to all those who come into contact with them. A stupa is like a spiritual generator that brings peace and harmony to all beings while harmonizing nature.
Wear good walking shoes and carry water. Please carry out everything you carry in – practice the principles of Leave No Trace – and respect the quiet for those who are meditating.
