The Dwan Light Sanctuary

The Dwan Light Sanctuary was opened in 1997 through the generosity of Virginia Dwan and serves as a place for quiet meditation.

Exterior of the Dwan Light Sanctuary.

The building grew out of Virginia Dwan's dream of creating a quiet place for reflection for people of all beliefs. Conceptualized by Dwan, artist Charles Ross and architect Laban Wingert, the Light Sanctuary features Ross' prisms in the apses and ceiling of the building to create a progression of unique spectrum events throughout the year.
