Gardens of the Spirit 2014 Wall Calendar

Strongly influenced by Shinto and Buddhist spirituality, Japanese gardens are particularly conducive to meditation, harmony, inspiration, and inner calm. Requiring an artful blend of imagination, skill, and patience, the Japanese garden is an extension of the self. By adapting the harmonies of natural design to our own landscape, we heighten our understanding of the world around us and within us.

The Gardens of the Spirit wall calendar features twelve exquisite images from nature and garden photographer Allan Mandell. Paired with contemplative text by Maggie Oster, this artful collection of images brings the experience of Japanese gardening to all who long to create a peaceful oasis in the midst of a challenging world.

Amber Lotus calendars have been illuminating spirit in the world for 25 years.
