Our Mission in Action

“Interfaith haven”

We strive to provide a place for all people to connect to the divine or engage in quiet reflective silence or meditation, however one defines it. The building and grounds were designed to welcome all people of different religious traditions and/or spiritual or humanistic beliefs. Our interfaith approach is evident in several ways, most notably the contribution of sacred soil from various faiths in the center of the meditation room and in the labyrinth created for meditative walks. Labyrinths inherently represent inclusiveness, are found in many different religions, and are seen as a neutral component for people to explore their inner quiet and beliefs.

“Set apart in nature”

We are located on 5 acres of wooded land in west Little Rock. The landscaping was designed by P. Allen Smith, one of America's most recognized award-winning garden designers. We offer both paved and unpaved paths where visitors can enjoy seasonal plants and foliage. Our grounds and building provide an aesthetically pleasing environment to inspire visitors to recognize the relationship between your own faith and nature.

“Dedicated to contemplative prayer, meditation, and quiet”

We ask visitors to remain silent once you enter the grounds and as you enter the main building, along the paths, and as you walk the labyrinth. Visitors are invited to use any of the spaces in the main building: the reading library where visitors can find books centered around various faiths; the meditation room with chairs and cushions; and the three semi-private niches located off of the main room. The courtyard leading from the House offers visitors a quiet outdoor place with rocking chairs and a meditative fountain.

“All are welcome”

We welcome, affirm, and cherish people of all faiths and spiritual traditions, races and ethnicities, gender identities and expressions, sexual orientations, ages, health status, and socio-economic backgrounds. Our building and grounds are accessible at no charge to all visitors.
