places for prayer, meditation and reflection

Chapel
The Chapel is a large, sacred space built within the covering shade of arbutus trees that peer through long skylights.  The room's simple design lends itself well to spiritual practices that take us deeply inward.  The Chapel is available for private use whenever a program is not in session.  Yoga, Christian and Zen meditation all take place in the Chapel.  (See below for a virtual tour of this room).

Sanctuary
Soft blues meet nature's greenery in this small space reserved 24 hours a day for private prayer and meditation.  One wall is smooth and blank, designed specifically for Zen meditation.  Another wall features a cross and tabernacle, sacred Christian symbols.  Finally, a third wall -- all glass -- reveals the transcendence in nature just outside.

Oratory
The Oratory is a traditional Catholic space on the 2nd floor of Queenswood.  It's also reserved 24 hours a day for silence.  A statue of St. Ann and the Blessed Virgin Mary remind us of our legacy in the Sisters of Saint Ann.  Photo by David Peterson.
