Dwan Light Sanctuary


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.
