A “tapovan” is a wilderness or forest of spiritual practice. Several hiking trails wind through this private property of the Gratitude Foundation , guided by signs with messages of peace, leading to spectacular views overlooking the Gulf Islands, with a statue of the foundation’s spiritual leader and promoter of world peace, Sri Chinmoy, at the top of the hike.
