Where Art and Nature Merge 8 ACRES OF HEALING GARDENS AND ART INSALLATIONS
Three Sisters Sanctuary is a must-see stop for any visitor to the Pioneer Valley. From the fanciful Dragon Fireplace to the Wishing Wheel Pergola, and from the spiritually calming gardens to the Dance of Life Path environmental art installation that features two powerful white quartz stones. Three Sisters Sanctuary pleases both the eye and the spirit. Three Sisters Sanctuary was created by and is cared for by environmental artist Richard Richardson. It's named to honor Richard's three beautiful daughters: TinaMarie, Sara Wenona and Megan Elizabeth. These images provide a small hint of the magic you will experience when you come to visit.
