A Sculpture Commemorating The Healing Waters of Soap Lake - Location

The Vision

The man is calling the healing waters
His expression suggests he's calling the Healing Spirit with a knowing expectation

The woman is the vessel, the receiver
The bowl suggests portability
Perhaps to take the healing waters
To the needy

Together they become givers of the gift of healing

"Calling the Healing Waters" - Location

Soap Lake is the name of the lake and the town. Soap Lake is located in the center of Washington State 20 miles north of Interstate-90 between Seattle and Spokane.

The town has a population of 1,875 and is mostly a bedroom community for people working in the nearby Cities of Ephrata and Moses Lake, and a retirement community. There is little industry in the place, no McDonalds, no offices, just peace and a no stress lifestyle.

Soap Lake ... The Story

This is a story of how a few dozen garden club little ol' ladies have raised $100,000 and at least another $100,000 worth of volunteer hours to conceive, create and construct the "Calling the Healing Waters" sculpture/sundial. Donor’s were solicited, Annual Plant & "Heritage" Sales were held, since 1993. Last fundraiser netted the Club $5,000 from their annual Memorial Day sale. That’s a long time to wait to see a vision come true. And now it almost is.

Check out the site to discover why Soap Lake is famous for healing, learn more about the artists and limited edition sculptures to be offered soon, and don’t miss the opportunity to be a part of this historical project by purchasing your own memorial stone. What a way to make a lasting impression.
