Chagpori Hill This Asian garden is named after a college of medicine in Tibet. The prayer flags send a Buddhist prayer for compassion and healing into the winds.
	Labyrinth A labyrinth offers a single path to the centre. As you journey inward, reflect on your inner life. As you journey outward, consider how your inner life is integrated with your daily walk.
Healer’s Rock Sit with the purple quartz vein and let it renew your energy. Feel yourself become grounded and centred again as you restore the power of your Inner Healer. You are welcome to tie a ribbon on the Wishing Tree.
	Medicine Wheel These stones replicate medicine wheels found on the Western plains. The Universe Stone at the centre represents the Soul. Four stones anchor the 4 directions and represent Air, Earth, Fire and Water. Each of the 12 Moon stones on the circumference has a teaching or gift for you.
Taiga Woodland Garden Taiga is the Siberian word for boreal forest. Evidence of a forest fire 20 years ago reminds us of the cycle of life and death. Sit in the chair and have an eye-to-eye conversation with Shaman Prairie Thunder, created by artist Walter Keller.
	Hildegard’s Herb Garden Nestled in an oak grove, the herb garden is named after Hildegard of Bingen, a medieval Christian mystic and herbalist.
The Great Mother The Great Earth Mother rests here, her womb pregnant with mint. Can you find the smaller Mother Earth image embedded in the rock? A petroform, in the form of a snake is also located here. Snakes are a universal symbol of healing and fertility.
