We are building a monumental work of art at Earth Sanctuary on Whidbey Island designed to inspire sound and musical exploration, spiritual growth, and healing experiences. SoundSpace will be a chambered mound that evokes feelings of connection, peace, and wonder through the power of sound. Such a sacred place has not been created anywhere in the world for thousands of years.

SoundSpace at Earth Sanctuary will be the first acoustically-tuned chambered mound built in modern times, bridging ancient wisdom and modern technology. This ambitious project is spearheaded by environmental artist and Earth Sanctuary creator Chuck Pettis and inspired by the 5,000-year-old Maes Howe chambered mound, the finest acoustically vibrant example of a chambered mound. SoundSpace will be a transformative space that harnesses the power of sound for spiritual exploration and connection with the natural world.

Communicating and getting guidance from spiritual beings is vital to working with earth energies and creating places of power, whether it be a stone circle or a cathedral. The guidance and blessing of the spiritual hierarchy helps us do the right thing at the right place at the right time.  

 I have developed and built a spiritual relationship with three Spiritual Hierarchies:

1.      Devas and the spiritual beings of Nature

2.      Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Deities 

3.      Creator, Grandmothers and Grandfathers of Native American culture
