Mary's Monastery

Monarch Bear Grove, located in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, is a revered sacred space curated by steward Rodney Karr for over twelve years. This unique grove blends the rich history of a primordial oak grove with the spiritual elements of the Abbey of Santa Maria de Ovila and the energies of the National AIDS Memorial Grove. The grove is dedicated to the Monarch Bear, California's totem animal, and features various ritualistic elements, including stone altars and circles. It serves as a powerful sanctuary for the community, emphasizing the interconnection of nature, history, and spiritual practice. Generated from the website
