In this episode of the Earth Sanctuary Podcast, Chuck Pettis explores the ancient and universal practice of communicating with spiritual beings. Drawing from traditions around the world—including Buddhism, Christianity, Indigenous spirituality, and nature-based traditions—Chuck shares how angels, saints, Buddhas, Devas, and ancestral spirits have guided spiritual seekers for centuries.

Chuck also recounts his personal experiences working with the spiritual hierarchy while creating Earth Sanctuary on Whidbey Island. He discusses the role of Devas and the Landscape Angel, the influence of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in his meditation practice, and the sacred presence of the Creator, Grandmothers, and Grandfathers honored in Native American tradition.

The episode concludes with a practical outline of Chuck’s meditation practice for respectfully contacting devas and the spiritual beings of nature—offering guidance for those who wish to deepen their relationship with the spiritual dimensions of the natural world.

We are building a monumental work of art at Earth Sanctuary on Whidbey Island designed to inspire sound and musical exploration, spiritual growth, and healing experiences. SoundSpace will be a chambered mound that evokes feelings of connection, peace, and wonder through the power of sound. Such a sacred place has not been created anywhere in the world for thousands of years.

SoundSpace at Earth Sanctuary will be the first acoustically-tuned chambered mound built in modern times, bridging ancient wisdom and modern technology. This ambitious project is spearheaded by environmental artist and Earth Sanctuary creator Chuck Pettis and inspired by the 5,000-year-old Maes Howe chambered mound, the finest acoustically vibrant example of a chambered mound. SoundSpace will be a transformative space that harnesses the power of sound for spiritual exploration and connection with the natural world.
