American Institute of Architects Honorable Mention Award | True Nature Healing Arts Kiva

We are proud that the Kiva at True Nature Healing Arts Center received an Honorable Mention Award from the Colorado American Institute of Architects this fall.  

True Nature Healing Arts garden was a peaceful sanctuary, free and open to the public from dawn to dusk. The therapeutic environment incorporated several healing modalities, including a labyrinth, reflexology path, outdoor yoga space, and contemplative gardens. The movement between gardens and buildings was fully integrated, allowing activity to flow seamlessly from one area to the next. Designed to inspire, each element was carefully conceived and shaped to support the healing work undertaken at the yoga studio and spa. Each detail of the garden was thoughtfully and artfully crafted. The drain tiles, set in clover lawn and created from vertically aligned sandstone slabs, lined the edge of the tea patio to collect rainwater.

A new Kiva was completed in the spring of 2018. The landscape continued to unfold as the peace garden expanded to surround the Kiva. Features included a rooftop zen garden, a wishing tree, a moongate, and the Ganesha sculpture. There were additional opportunities to stroll, rest, and visit within the beautiful grounds of True Nature Healing Arts.
