Backyard Meditation Area
Meditating or just finding a few quiet moments outside to yourself is a powerful way to take care of oneself. The sights and sounds of nature serve as a way to help your mind disconnect from everyday life and hit the pause button. We wanted to help our client carve out a peaceful spot in their backyard to do just that. Together we picked a site away from the sounds of the road and with natural coverage from the neighbors that overlooked a garden of native plants. The patio site was graded, leveled and prepped for the field stone installation. The clean lines, natural wood, and local stone of the bench, handcrafted here in the Hudson Valley by Earth Modern Design, complement the balanced, organic arrangement of elements. From the edge of the fieldstone, just over the Buddha’s shoulder, a small pea gravel path beckons the observer to another area of the backyard. It’s really a lovely spot to unwind.
