Peace Awareness Labyrinth and Gardens, Los Angeles, CA

Daryell Claude Camacho

A hidden gem in Los Angeles! Leave the hustle and bustle of the LA rat race and commute behind you; and enjoy the peace, calm and revitalize yourself surrounded by the luscious Japanese Garden and koi pond beyond the house and the amazing labyrinth, fountains gurgling away and an interesting sculpture titled Madame Butterfly..not to be missed! You will leave energized and revitalized; I know I did! Go ahead and visit!

What a beautiful, peaceful place. Well worth a visit. The labyrinth is supposed to be the draw and it is very cool, but the meditation garden is spectacular (in a meditative sort of way.). We were allowed to enter through the mansion, which was built in the 1800's by a vintner, and later purchased by Buzby Burklee. At half past the hour, guests are also invited to take part in a ten minute meditation exercise. I was the only member of the group there today that took part; there was no pressure to do it. I don't meditate regularly but thought it was worth trying and I found it soothing. There's a $6 admission charge and during the visit we were provided with bottles of water and, had we wanted them, sun hats and parasols. We were also offered free books when we left. There was absolutely no proselytizing.

We had our wedding here two days ago and it was so beautiful. The gardens are stunning, as are the buildings. David was wonderful at helping us organize everything. Our guests were surprised to learn this lovely space is right in the middle of LA. Dog-friendliness No, don't bring your dogs here. It's a peaceful space for meditation. And they have cats on the grounds.
