Combination of Eastern and Western Traditions

The Trout Lake Abbey is an unusual combination of Eastern and Western spiritual traditions with a Zen Buddhist Temple and a Druid Sanctuary. They have an organic farm as well as accommodations for visitors. Look at the galleries and stories below for more information on this extraordinary place in the shadow of Mt. Adams.

Druid Area at Trout Lake Abbey

Here are some photos of Druid Sanctuary as well as a lovely labyrinth. Amethyst and I walked the labyrinth, saying mantras in both directions. The labyrinth is bordered by fragrant lavendar. You can see Mt. Adams in the distance in one of the photos.
