Thank you for preserving such a peaceful place. It is my favorite place in the Black Hills.
The beauty of nature is God’s gift to us. Appreciating its healing powers is our gift to God. Listen as the wind brings healing to the soul.
My 70th birthday. Ready to face the last decades of my earthly life. If there is to be an afterlife and if it is to be a reward for these earthly years – then surely it will feel like this place.
I came here this morning needing to leave some things behind, not sure what I would find. This space is beautiful. This place is a gift. I came with my spirit agitated, fearful and worn down, tired from keeping up, tired from taking care of everyone but myself. But as I finish this journey through aspen groves, pine forests and fields of wild flowers, I leave refreshed. I feel renewed and grateful and I take this gratefulness with me to share with others. –Beth A from Bismark, ND
I walk the sanctuary with my wonderful husband on our 2nd wedding anniversary.
