You know that feeling when you step outside and the air just feels different—like it’s whispering something ancient to your soul? That’s not your imagination.

The Nature Pyramid, introduced by Florence Williams, is more than just a wellness concept—it’s a sacred reminder of how deeply we belong to the Earth, and how much she longs to be in relationship with us.

Over time, the chapel became known as the Santuario de Chimayo and became a pilgrimage site for Catholics across the Southwest.
