Events › Library Walk with Earth Sanctuary

Join us for a guided tour of Whidbey's Earth Sanctuary with its owner and creator, Chuck Pettis. 

Earth Sanctuary is a peaceful and magical sacred space sculpture garden, nature reserve and retreat center with two miles of nature trails, three bird-filled ponds, and a variety of powerful sacred spaces. Chuck will explain why he has created Earth Sanctuary, his 500-year plan to return the property to an old-growth forest, and lead 60-second meditations at several of Earth Sanctuary’s sacred spaces. Experience the labyrinth, two stone circles, two Medicine Wheels, Buddhist stupa, dolmen, prayer wheels, artworks, and a habitat ideal for observing birds and wildlife.

The tour will be on grassy and wooded paths with some grade changes. Comfortable walking shoes are suggested, along with weather-appropriate clothing. Participants may bring binoculars for bird watching, although they are not required. Please complete registration for each person attending the tour.

This free outdoor program is part of the Sno-Isle Libraries' summer-long Library Walks series. Visit new Whidbey Island locations all summer to learn about Whidbey's local gems and complementary library resources.

Hosted by the Freeland Library.
