Over 100 full-color photographs by Melba Levick capture the sanctuaries' inviting exteriors and tranquil interiors. From the relaxing hot springs at Esalen Institute on the California coast to the dramadc St. Andrews Abbey in the striking San Gabriel Mountains overlooking the Mojave Desert; from the cheerful, handmade prayer flags waving at the Lama Foundadon in the mountain meadows of New Mexico to the renowned kitchen at Green Gulch Farm filled with the aroma of their famous, fresh-baked bread, Paradise Found offers a visual feast for travelers and spiritual seekers everywhere.
