Hidden spiritual retreat right on Sunset Boulevard in Pacific Palisades. The gardens are free to visit and incredibly peaceful despite being in the middle of the city.

Perfect spot to recharge between tourist activities. The lake shrine has beautiful landscaping and you can walk the paths in complete silence. No pressure to participate in anything religious — It's just a beautiful, calm space.

Open Tuesday through Saturday until 4:30pm. Free parking but limited. Sometimes you need a break from the LA chaos.
