Columcille Megalith Park and Celtic Art Center A new view of one of the megalith pieces. [Jen Storey, 03/25/2010]
Columcille Megalith Park and Celtic Art Center Columcille Megalith Park and Celtic Art Center, an outdoor sanctuary, is open for your "personal spirit journey." It was inspired by the Isle of Iona off the coast of Scotland. Its owners describe it as a "sacred space for quiet meditation, protected under conservation easement with the Heritage Conservancy. The park adjoins the residence of its co-founders."
The day I visited was beautiful. I took a walk through the grounds and admired the beauty of the setting and the different monoliths. There is a scaled-down Stonehenge where I saw a women leaning against one large stone and meditating.
Apparently, there are weddings in the chapel and other events such as Winter Solstice. The owner told me that Halloween is the Celtic New Year, and an event was planned for the evening I was there, which was October 31. The chapel was getting a replacement for its cedar shingle roof with 100 year old slate. There is also an interesting stone building referred to as the tower.
The whole experience was very serene and comforting. [Carole Sinclair, 11/25/2006]
