Hello all! Tell me about the peaceful places and spaces you like to visit or escape to that really touch you spiritually. Places that make you feel calm and transported away from the outside world. It can be a place indoors or out, and can even be a place where you meditate.

For me standing on a beach facing the waves, sitting on a large rock or fallen tree log in the forest, and sitting close to a herd of horses and watching them graze are just a few of the places that bring me peace and make me forget about the outside world.

Bandon, Oregon- beachcombing for agates, petrified wood and fossilized shells while viewing the rocky offshore monoliths.

Mazamitla, Jalisco- birding in the pine-oak forests.

San Blas, Nayarit- birding on the Sewer Pond Trail.

Tzintzunztan, Michoacan- birding by the Yacatas/semi-circular pyramids at the Purepechan archaeological site overlooking Lake Patzcuaro.

Bernal, Queretaro- hiking at the world's third largest monolith which is said by many to be an energy vortex.

The desert is very peaceful and spiritual for me. Especially way out away from the city where it is so silent. At night here, even in city limits where I live, it is very quiet out back and my patio is my meditation and place of peace.

Almost anywhere around Lake Tahoe is also very peaceful and spiritual for me. Other places are woods, forests, mountains, just being out in nature.

I can imagine feeling peace in all of the places you've mentioned. Nature is soothing and healing.
