Located on the campus of UWC-USA*, near Las Vegas, NM, the Sanctuary opened in 1996. It serves as '...a refuge from the hectic pace of daily living.' So, it's a place to meditate, become one with everything, whatever - wu-wu stuff that's of little interest to Trish and me.
We were intrigued though, so we visited the place. It has 2 huge window walls with large prisms set at various angles. The ceiling has additional prisms. One at a time please: only one person/couple/group is allowed inside at any given time. We were told at the welcome center that if anyone knocked on the door while we were inside, to just ignore them.
*UWC-USA: United World College-USA is one of 17 campuses located on 5 continents. Students, ages 16-19, from about 75 countries attend this 2-year residential school. The schools' objective is "...to use education as a force to build bridges between people and cultures.' A downright noble and commendable goal, say I.
The Montezuma Castle is the main campus building. It was originally a luxury hotel, built in 1881. I've stayed in worse places.
