Welcome to The Anawa Center for Peace - A Spiritual Community

Here, at the Anawa Center for Peace, the Earth is not just a backdrop — she serves as a teacher. The elements are not mere metaphors — they offer spiritual guidance as our guides. Community is not simply a convenience — it forms a sacred circle through our community offerings. We honor the wisdom of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Light, and Spirit as we gather to breathe, bless, remember, and walk gently together in our labyrinth.

About The Anawa Center for Peace

A Living Tradition of Remembrance

The Anawa Center for Peace is a vibrant spiritual community dedicated to elemental wisdom, ancestral remembrance, and the transformative healing power of ceremonies. Through its evolution, experiences, and the gentle guidance of Spirit, it has established its own lineage — the Anawa path. This path is committed to fostering peace, unity, healing, and the awakening of the soul, while also offering various community offerings such as a labyrinth for reflection and spiritual guidance.

Who We Are

We are ministers, healers, dreamers, teachers, artists, initiates, and seekers at the Anawa Center for Peace. We are people who believe in compassion, inclusion, and the dignity of all beings. Through our ceremonies and community offerings, we walk with humility, courage, and a love for the Earth that guides everything we do, including our spiritual guidance and the creation of a labyrinth that fosters connection and reflection.

Our Doctrine

At Anawa Center for Peace, we believe Spirit is the breath in all creation. We hold the conviction that every being is born whole, holy, and connected. Our Earth, a living temple, deserves our deepest reverence. We believe that ceremonies serve as a doorway back to truth, guiding us in our spiritual journey. Peace begins within and radiates outward, and through our community offerings, we foster love, compassion, and unity consciousness as the highest teachings. We recognize that ancestral wisdom surrounds us at all times, reminding us that healing is a birthright, not a privilege. Our labyrinth symbolizes the path to transformation, and we believe that community amplifies this change. Ultimately, we see service as prayer in motion, a vital aspect of our shared existence.
